THE DYNAMICS OF MEN'S MINISTRY TODAY Almost unimaginable numbers of men are attending Promise Keepers stadium rallies. Why is that? What are these men looking for? What motivates them to go? Promise Keepers has created a new Christian culture among men. Promise Keepers responds in a culturally relevant way to men who know there must be more to their Christian faith. PK meets men where they feel comfortable-- in football stadiums. I've met men who didn't know what to expect, but never a man who wasn't deeply touched by attending. Many men are supernaturally transformed by attending a single stadium event. It is truly a unique work of the Holy Spirit. The difficulty with all mountain-top experiences, of course, is that you must return to the valley. Many men go to large-scale momentum events, get fired up, come back excited, try to start a men's ministry, and find men respond --for awhile. But then other pressures set in, there are bills to pay, they get distracted, they can't generate big numbers, the flame burns down, and they become less and less interested in the work of building the kingdom. So the leader becomes discouraged, gives up, and waits for the next mountain-top.
