..."There are some
people who try to be funny and don't know how. I think Dennis does it about as
well as any comedian in Hollywood...in these times when we all tend to take life
just a bit too seriously, we can learn a lot from Dennis Swanberg's
message...laughter truly is the best medication for what ails us..."

Greetings!
2008 has been a fruitful ministry year for WACMM! To date, over 2,200 men and their pastors from 128 churches in six mid-Atlantic states have attended our unique, one-day Iron Sharpens Iron Conferences in Maryland and Virginia.
We've also introduced our new "WACMM-University" training ministry to bring the very best leadership and discipleship resources to pastors, ministry leaders and laymen in local churches. We've also had the privilege to speak to men in various venues from churches and retreats, to seminars and conferences in the DC region and around the country.
Finally, this summer we launched the Foundation for Manhood, a new non-profit organization that is the trustee for Stand in the Gap 2017, administrator of the new Christian Men's Wall of Honor and vehicle for cultural engagement in behalf of biblical manhood.
IN THIS ISSUE CHECK OUT:
- Our great 2009 line-up of conference speakers;
- A new book to help you through this economic meltdown;
- wacmm.org for a ton of resources and information.
We appreciate your interest in men's ministry and WACMM's work. Our hope is that you'll be able to take advantage of the many scheduled events, activities and resources we have on tap in the New Year to encourage and equip you for ministry and for life.
From the WACMM Executive Team, we wish you a very Merry Christmas! During this special time of the year, may your appreciation for the Gospel be enriched and your understanding of authentic manhood in Christ Jesus be deepened! Locking arms together,
