Promise Keepers is a Christian Men’s Organization, worldwide, that stresses a personal commitment to Jesus Christ, family values and the biblical leadership role of the man in his house, church and community.
In our church, we have adopted this little fellow as our mascot, to remind us that: We are in a spiritual battle.

Promise Keepers hold large stadium events and rallies though out the world. These draw thousands of man. (One rally in Washington, D.C. drew over a million man and was called "Standing in The Gap" - Nov 1997) These events and rallies see thousands of men commit their lives to Jesus Christ, re-commit their lives and get back to their biblical place as men. Many of these men come from denominations and churches that have forgotten to teach these things.
Some people would attack this movement as being too ecumenical, that is drawing from too many "liberal churches", but they fail to see what is happening People’s lives are changing! They are coming to know Jesus in a close personal way. That is what Christianity is all about: Changing lives! Drop your denominational barriers and see what God is doing. Is the movement, perfect? No, of course not! No church is either.
Others, such as woman’s groups, attack the movement’s man’s strong leadership role, viewing it as some of a kind of a threat to womanhood. (woman’s rights) Yet Christian woman, whose husband’s are involved in this movement, love the idea that their husband’s are finally doing something spiritual that will benefit their families instead of sitting around watching TV and let them do all the work, decision making and child rearing.
Yes, Men this is a Spiritual Battle. Are you ready for the challenge?

I have been involved in the Promise Keepers movement since 1995, when I attended my first stadium event in Los Angeles, California. There were 73,472 Christian men there worshipping and praising God, I could hardly believe it! It was the largest gathering of its kind in those days. Now it might seem small to some Promise Keepers events. The next year I was able to attend another stadium event in San Diego, California. Then in 1997, I was able to attend my third one in Fresno, California. In 1997, I wasn't able to attend "Standing in the Gap" in Washington, D.C., but my pastor and several members of our church were able to go.
