"As a one of the pastors at Huntersville UMC , I will be attending my first "introductory session" this coming weekend during one of our church's men's beach retreat.  I'm looking forward to having some of our men exposed to MIB ministry opportunity which is desperately needed in today's Christian church.  I am thankful that we have lay leadership in our church who are willing to facilitate and lead our men through this important ministry."

"Men in Balance gave our Men's Ministry direction in the form of quality Christian programming that appeals to men in ways that we found most difficult to do when we ran our program 'in-house'.  He has breathed new life and into a men's Ministry program that was never able to reach it's potential, and our Men's Ministry is now growing for the first time in years."

"When we implemented Men in Balance in our church, we had 9 men to sign up initially.  All nine completed the course, and all nine claimed to have been substantially impacted by their participation.  Ages of the men ranged from 28 - 60, and the interaction between the older and younger men was a wonder to behold...the younger drawing on the wisdom and experience of the older, and the older drawing on the excitement and enthusiasm of the younger.  The MIB curriculum helped us to focus our conversation around issues relevant to the lives of every man, and at the tend of the term, long-lasting ties had been developed among all.  I highly recommend MIB, and look forward to forming our next group."
