As We Glance Back... What Did We Do in 2014?
- January - Young Guns Weekend with an Atlanta Chick-Fil-A Store
- March - Spring Retreat: There is a Mission! in North GA
- October - Fall Retreat: There is a Mission! in North GA
- November - 4Streams Excursion to Colorado for the Ransomed Heart Wild at Heart Boot Camp
- BANDO - Every Saturday in 2014
Perhaps the most exciting piece of ground we covered in 2014 was the creation and implementation of 10 bands of brothers (4-6 men each).
These 50 men invested 15 weeks to walk down a carefully crafted "paved road" designed to amplify, deepen and solidify what they experienced on the Weekend.
And As We Glance Back... What Did God Do for Men in 2014:
Ten Men stepped forward to take on a significant leadership role within 4Streams Partners. After our Spring Weekend, the need was great to continue what began on the weekend. So 10 CAPTAINS volunteered to lead small bands of brothers all across the city for a 15 week period. By their own report, they benefited far more by leading than they could have hoped!
To Find Out a Little More About What God Did through 4Streams Partners in 2014,
Our Mission is to Awaken Men to More LIFE Through a Transformational Relationship with Jesus.
We Love what God does on these catalytic weekends! And yet we love - even more - that men get to process their experience with God together in a smaller group.
These men were together with other men who shared their experience and they stepped out in courage to share their stories with each other. They explored deeper healing, spiritual warfare, counsel with one another and, best of all, they cultivated conversational intimacy with God. They didn't meet just to feel better; they pursued freedom and healing so that they could deploy to offer Kingdom Life to those in their own sphere of influence.
It has been a great year!
Opportunities for 2015: We have opportunities for More in 2015. Some of these include... - Two Weekend Retreats: Spring & Fall There is a Mission!
- A revised Young Guns Weekend in the Fall of 2015
- A Father-Son Weekend in Concert with a powerful, local ministry.
- Several shorter weekends for the Men of 4Streams to build and encourage community among our many Coaches (these are the guys that make the weekend hum by offering their hearts and helping men interpret what God is saying to them during the weekend).
- We hope to get away with our Captains. These are the Men who have led our bands of brothers after weekend retreats. This will be a shorter weekend but another way to build "communities on mission" within the larger family of Friends & Partners of Four Streams.
- We are building a 'Coaching & Captains Training Module' that will not only help men as they lead in Four Streams Environments. This training will help men take responsibility to lead well and love more genuinely in their homes, businesses and other spheres of influence.
- And finally, there is BANDO-2-GO. What is this? There are communities of men within a a few hours of Atlanta that are inviting Four Streams into their own bands of brothers. We don't do 'conferences' and we don't do 'gigs'. We DO intentionally put on spiritually vibrant weekend retreats and it requires a ton of energy from Staff, Coaches and Captains. We hope to take 20-40 coaches to at least one such community this spring where 100+ men are asking for an encounter with God that men experience on There is a Mission! weekends. We are looking forward to those adventures!
Check back soon for the dates of our Spring Weekends!
