• 14 stops on our Regional Day nationwide tour. You can find out when and where we will be here.
• An Apologetics Training Day to help unpack the common objections men raise against the Christian faith with input from some of the best speakers in the field. Date for the diary: Saturday March 5th 2011.
• A worship leaders conference hosted by Graham Kendrick and CVM to look at issues surrounding men and worship. This is a must for worship leaders in your church. (Date and venue to be confirmed)
• A two date visit from Dave Murrow. Author of ‘Why Men Hate Going To Church’ who will be unpacking his latest teaching based on his book ‘The Map’. One venue in the north and another in the south. Dates for diary 10th Sept 2011 and 17th Sept 2011. Final details to be confirmed. There will be special input for group leaders.

And finally …

After a long process of prayer, consultation and discussion with supporters, the national team and board have decided to run a different kind of national CVM conference next year!

As you know, our passion is to reach men with the gospel and to make our activities as accessible as possible to all men. So we are excited to introduce into the mix, a brand new camp for men, we are calling: codelife: the gathering!

This will be, in CVM language, a “level 2” camp. In other words there will be input to inspire and teach believing men but it will also be hugely accessible to your mates who aren’t yet believers.

You can expect for around only £75 a head.

• Graham Kendrick and band
• Huge bonfires
• Fun stuff from climbing walls to sumo suits
• BBQs galore
• A mess tent
• Outdoor activities
• And much more to be announced …

Of course, for those of you who don’t want to camp there is the option of a B&B or hotel as well. This doesn’t mean that we will never run a conference like the “Warwick” one again but we strongly believe it to be the right course of action at least for next year.

The date for your diary is 24-26 June 2011. More details to follow but mark it in your diaries now!

Over the last 2 years I’ve taken on an annual challenge to raise money for the work of The Kings Foundation. This year I’m raising money for CVM, the charity I lead, by running all 26.2 miles of the London Marathon.

CVM has some amazing opportunities over the next year, including getting our new world cup souvenir magazine “Scorchio” into nearly every prison cell in the UK!  We also continue to develop top quality resources for the church and will be running 12 Regional Days all over the UK and a big hit national conference. CVM has also just entered into a partnership with the fantastic Sorted Magazine! The diary for 2010 is already packed full of churches crying out to know how to reach out to blokes from Cornwall to Scotland.

So we find ourselves massively in demand but usually on the edge of financial meltdown! We only need another £8k to get Scorchio onto the streets and only £10k to produce the UK’s first ever men’s ministry manual we are calling “The Works” which will be packed full of hints, tips, resources, research, reviews and more …

Please sponsor me … which is really a sponsorship of CVM and a declaration that you are standing with us as we press ahead with what we believe we have been called to do.

Huge thanks!
