WARRIORS ROAD TRIP
November 16, 2024
On Saturday November 16th a group of our Mighty Men went on an adventure up to the Wright Patterson Airforce Museum for a day of comradery and aircraft.
Being a part of a group and getting to know some new friends and sharing some laughs with some old friends is great! Thanks to our very own tour guide Mark Exeler, who led the group through the museum again this year!
We shared a great lunch together on our way home. Thanks again to all the men who participated in the Warriors Road Trip this year.
KEENLAND 2024
Opening Day at the Fall meet October 4th
Second annual Mighty Men Keeneland outing with our wives/significant others.
We were blessed again this year with beautiful weather.
Great food and fun times playing games together. A new champion was decided in the famous Left Right Center dice game. LaDenna Exeler (wife of last year’s winner Mark “I play to win” Exeler) won the pot and took home the new Champions Cup!
A terrific opportunity to be together and share the blessing Mighty Men has been in the lives of our members!
See you next year!
GREY WOLF
September 20 - 22, 2024
This was amazing!
In its ninth year, this camping outing set records. Almost 50 men, the largest campfire, a Friday simulcast with Patrick Morley, clearing trails, mending fences, spectacular food (nobody left hungry), and God touching men’s hearts. Ex-secret service agent, Jim Meyer presented “The Lamb in the Whitehouse.” Sunday morning, the “Three Amigos” discussed Job and his triumph through tragedy. There are so many blessings that come through adversity. Everyone was moved by the Holy Spirit this weekend.
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope” (ESV, Romans 15:13).
HOPE TO DREAM
August 24, 2024
Forty-two Mighty Men joined SVDP, Morris Furniture, Chick-fil-A, and several others in an effort to serve the children and their families of Cincinnati by setting up and delivering beds for a good night’s sleep. Fifty beds were given to children who will sleep better, some of whom have not slept in beds before.
Thanks to channels 9 and 12 for getting the word out that Cincinnati still has needs and that there are willing participants who sacrificially give their time, energy, and prayers for these families. Tell me that you can look at the second photo without a small tear of joy. This is why we are here. This is our commitment to the community in God’s name.
”Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them” (ESV, Psalm 127: 3-5a).

OUR RELATIONSHIP
to the Universal Church
June 17, 2023
Universal Church: The Universal Church is a heavenly and eschatological assembly of everyone—past, present and future—who belong to Christ's New Covenant and Kingdom.
(eschatology: the theological term or study of the final events of the history of man; last times; the culmination of His Story)
Local church: “A local church is a mutually-affirming group of New Covenant members and Kingdom citizens,
identified by regularly gathering together in Jesus' Name through preaching the gospel
and celebrating the ordinances [communion and baptism]” (Leeman, 2022, para. 1).
“And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus.” (Ephesians 2:6 NIV)
References - Leeman, J. (2022). The church: Universal and local. 9Marks Journal. https://www.9marks.org/article/the-church-universal-and-local/
The Universal Church and the local Church are inseparably linked together. The local church is the earthly expression of
the Universal Church. The local church is where we see, hear, and literally rub shoulders with the Universal Church
(who are currently living on the earth).

"Children are a gift from the Lord, they are a reward from Him. They are like sharp arrows in a warrior's hands. Happy is the man whose quiver is full of them” (Psalm 127:3-5).
”Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the glory of children is their fathers" (Proverbs 17:6).
“I will teach you lessons from our past, stories we have heard and know...we will not hide these truths from our children, but will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the Lord...so each generation can set its hope anew on God”
(Psalm 27:2, 4 & 7).
"Grandparents have a God-given responsibility to pass the torch of the Gospel on to the next generation" (Owens, 2023)

Heavenly Father,
Please help me to know my grandchildren’s hearts well enough to see their true needs. Give me Your view of them as I accept who You made them to be. Thank You that You formed them in their mother’s womb and that You have made them in Your image. I pray You will show me how to help them develop a secure love in their hearts, a significant purpose for their lives, and a sufficient hope in You.
Amen.

MAN’S RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD
January 21, 2023
Josh Seurkamp
“Man’s relationship with God is one of intimacy… Intimacy with the Father comes from being; not doing… It is not earned because the Father pursues this relationship with us.”
(Psalm 139: 1-6 NIV)
You have searched me, Lord,
and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue
you, Lord, know it completely.
You hem me in behind and before,
and you lay your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.
