Letters From Dad
Hello All,
Here's my first official update on where we're at in bringing Letters From Dad to Waco.
I attended the leadership training in Dallas and now I'm ready to facilitate the course.
Looking at the calendar, here's what has been decided.
Tuesday, August 29 Kickoff BBQ (or Fajitas) I'll introduce Letters From Dad to the men and they will have an opportunity to sign up for the course at the end. The classes will run one night a month for 4 months - Tuesday Sept 19, Oct 17, Nov 14, and Dec 12.
I've found a great printer for the flyers and posters. I'm now looking to nail down the location and I'm looking for a caterer. Letters From Dad has a great deal of information in a media pack, which I've already started to distribute.
What do I need? Prayer support. First and foremost, I need your prayers. This is bigger than anything I've ever lead before. I believe Waco has been primed and is ready for Letter From Dad. Churches and groups like Legacy Outfitters have seen men open their hearts to the Gospel and to each other. Letters From Dad will teach them a practical way to share their hearts with their families.
Second, I need some financial support. My training in Dallas was sponsored by men at the Man in the Mirror bible study and by Central Texas Fatherhood Initiative. The catering and advertising will need to be underwritten as well. Judging from what has happened in the other cities where LFD has been launched, we can expect 200-400 men at the Kickoff event. Half of them (maybe more) will sign up for the course. A simple dinner is usually eaten before each of the 4 classes. Of course it is possible to sell tickets to the Kickoff event to help with the cost, but we can expect a bigger turn out for a free dinner.
I encourage each of you to check out the LFD website, watch some of the video clips, and pray with me about this ministry. I'll send out regular updates.
God Bless!!!
