Preliminary Signup - Mentoring for Men

I am planning a life-changing event for me and eight men.  It will start September 2010 and will go for nine months.

The commitment:

• Mandatory attendance and participation in nine Monday night sessions (roughly once a month), three hours each with me at my home in Des Plaines, Illinois.
• Activities between sessions, including reading, writing and memorizing scripture
• Humility - being transparent and open to new and challenging teaching in your life.  Also being willing to share your triumphs and defeats in order to help others in the group.
• Final pot luck dinner session with spouses (Date and location TBA, Spring 2011)
• Being willing to "pay it forward," mentoring another group of men at some point when it is appropriate in your life.

I will select eight men based on the following schedule:

• Phase 1 - Gather email addresses from any interested in participating.  Giving me your email address does not commit you to the process or promise you a spot in the sessions.
• Phase 2 - Applications will be distributed by email in June 2010 with an invitation to apply.
• Phase 3 - Eight participants will be selected, invited and asked to agree to a list of commitments.  This will be completed by August 15, 2010.
• Phase 4 - Mentoring sessions begin September 2010.

The benefits of being involved:

• It's a finite commitment.  It won't last forever, so it is a more manageable commitment.
• We will all learn from each other in an open, transparent environment.  The ability to be honest and hold each other accountable will be invaluable.
• We will each be better husbands, fathers and church members.
• You will be better equipped and encouraged to "pass the torch," mentoring other men in the future.

If you are interested, make sure I get your name and email address by one of the following methods:

• Send me a Direct Message on Twitter.
• Email me
• Send me a Facebook message.  My screen name is Tom McComb

I am looking forward not only to meeting a new group of friends, but also to seeing what God will do among us as we pour our lives into each other.
