DENVER, June 15 /Standard Newswire/ -- Promise Keepers (PK), the international ministry to men, launches its 17th season of high-impact men's conferences this month. The seven-event series begins in Mobile, Ala. on June 29.

 

"This year Promise Keepers is positioned to equip and encourage men in their transformation from promise maker to promise keeper," said Dr. Tom Fortson, Promise Keepers president. "We have located thousands of men around the world who are identified by the word 'integrity,' as demonstrated by Jesus Christ. It's time to equip these men to put integrity into action."

 

The 2007 conference program targets men's love of adventure, offers them a spiritual challenge, and points them to the fulfillment of their potential. Also this year, Promise Keepers tackles gender relations head-on with a Saturday session called "The Significance of Engaging the Heart of a Woman."

 

Men's groups around the nation are now organizing bus, van, and motorcycle road trips to Promise Keepers events. "We are excited about helping guys escape their isolation. We know we need other men to help us do what needs to be done and finish life's race well," said Dr. Fortson.

 

2007 Speakers, Musicians and Special Guests:

 

Adventurer and author Bob Cornuke is the opening speaker at Promise Keepers gatherings this summer. Acclaimed youth speaker Reggie Dabbs returns as emcee, and comedian Brad Stine takes the Promise Keepers platform in 2007, with comedy on both Friday and Saturday.

 

Other speakers at 2007 conferences include: Bishops Wellington Boone, Joseph Garlington and Larry Jackson, motivational speaker Rick Rigsby, evangelists Mike Silva and Adrian DesPres, author and teacher James Ryle, and family minister Dan Seaborn.

 

Worship leader Dr. Stephen Newby and the band PK 7 provide energetic and diverse music that is designed for masculine participation.
