…men ought always to pray, and not to faint (Luke 18:1) Let’s Plan for a Challenge Dear Men, Our sincerest good wishes to you and yours for the new year. We trust that you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year with your family and church. We look forward to seeing you again at the Rocky Mountain Men’s Prayer Advance this September. I hope you are already making plans to take the time off and attend! The Prayer Advance gets better every year — the spiritual impact on our lives gets deeper and richer with each conference. Every year God allows us to see new things at the Advance. Of course, we will gather for prayer, singing, and fellowship at the new location in 2024. And yes, we are glad to offer new prices that will make it possible for more men to attend. One thing that will not change is the spirit of revival, high-energy preaching, and God-honoring music that has punctuated the Advance these past several years. What Should You Expect from the Men’s Prayer Advance? Spiritual atmosphere. It is electric! Men have come from around the world to experience it. God shows Himself real in so many aspects —: the singing is passionate; the response is immediate; the testimonies are genuine. Excellent preaching and teaching. We bring in seasoned preachers. They know our needs and are willing to exhort and confront us with the truth of the Word of God. This year we will welcome three new speakers to the Advance. Prayer. One of the most common comments men make about the Advance is that they appreciate the “Sweet Hour of Prayer.” It is life-changing! It is always a blessing to see groups of men gather for prayer after the evening services. We encourage the men speakers to preach messages that God has laid on their hearts, but what sets us apart from other men’s retreats is that we pray before and after every session. Hence, the title of our time together includes the word “ “advance.” We are not retreating, but advancing in our relationship with God and in our relationships with others. Fantastic accommodation. The mountain views and air are part of the refreshing atmosphere of the Advance. The men’s dormitories are an affordable option for those on a tight budget. We learned from last year that we need to prepare for colder weather. The rain and cold we experienced were not common for that week of camp. However,, but that is what God provided for us. We have made sure that this time year the cabins and bunk room will be heated. Bring a sweater or warmer clothes for the tabernacle, which is not heated. Excellent food & coffee. In surveys after the conference last year, men mentioned the excellent food. The Friday night steak dinner was a big hit. Many of the men brought their thermoses and filled them with coffee to sip onto drink during the day. Coffee is available all day long, and . Bbottled water will also be available all day.
