The 2010 YBL Fall banquet was held on October 12 at the Hilton Jackson with former Heisman Trophy winner Danny Wureffel as the speaker. There were almost 350 in attendance which made this the second largest banquet we have ever had.
There were several men who expressed and intrest in getting more information about having a relatiohship with Christ and 60 who wanted information about joining a bible study or about YBL. We are following up with them now.
Many of these men will be unchurched and will be learning about how to walk with Christ through our bible studies. I expect that we will start at least 2 Concentrating on the Majors studies as a result. We are also trying to start a downtown discipleship group as well as another one in the Clinton area. Our goal is to have at least one discipleship group meeting in every segment of the Jackson Metropolitan area.
We currently have 11 discipleship groups meeting around the Jackson area. These groups provide an avenue for their members to study and discuss how to apply God's word to everyday problems. They provide accountability and a safe place to be real. They are a great way for men to sharpen one another. If you would like to find out about the locations and contact persons you can go to this link on our website. http://www.ybljackson.org/docs/YBL%20Map%2010-22-10.pdf
Who knows how many men's lives will be changed through all of this or how many marriages and families impacted. Who knows what difference this will make in the Jackson business community or in our churches as some of these men grow into spiritual leaders. I hope to share some personal stories again soon, as I have in the past, to highlight some of the stories. Thank you for helping to make all of this possible through your support of YBL. We are making a difference.
Sincerely,
Doug Owen
