Subject: Men, join us for prayer in the Northwoods of Michigan!

One month from today we will be hosting the Autumn Men’s Prayer Summit in the Northwoods and we would love to have you participate.

Dear Men, 


Is God bringing a spiritual awakening in America? According to a book sales tracker, Bible sales were up 22% in 2024 and this was fueled largely by new buyers. Recent data, from the Christian research organization Barna Group, shows a marked increase in people indicating that they have made a personal commitment to Jesus that is still important in their lives today. Young men particularly are showing an increased interest in spiritual things. Yes, God is certainly on the move!


We have the tremendous privilege and responsibility to participate in what God is doing through earnest prayer. Jonathan Edwards, the American preacher and theologian who God powerfully used in the First Great Awakening, said: “When God is about to do a mighty new thing He always sets His people praying.” In light of this fact, we invite you to join us for a focused time of petitioning the Lord together at the Men’s Autumn Prayer Summit in Watersmeet, MI October 2–4, 2025.

This event in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan will be a set-apart time for men to focus on thanksgiving and intercessory prayer. The schedule will include encouraging messages, focused prayer times, and some outdoor activities, such as walks or hiking.


We have intentionally planned this event to be when the fall colors normally are close to peak season providing a stunning setting for the summit. The changing of the leaves in autumn is an incredible display of natural beauty. Similarly, the change that God brings in our individual lives, our families, our churches and our communities in answer to prayer deeply encourages us and stirs awe-inspiring wonder in our hearts!


“God shapes the world by prayer.”
