October 28th was about starting the conversation and Saturday, November 12th from 0600 – 0700 at Eternal Church is about rolling up our sleeves and stepping into the fire.  This is not a convergence. This is a call to the #HIM that left the convergence and have a desire to do something to influence change, the #HIM that has the passion and desire to step into the fight to figure out how to change the trajectory of this social issue that plagues our culture. If you can make it or even if you can’t and you have a perspective please share it with me and I will bring it to the conversation (brianbrenner09@gmail.com).

Pre-work for this session to think about before joining the discussion:

• Define what we are trying to accomplish coming out of the convergence?

o   Build empathy through relationships?

o   Build relationships through invitation of more black men to F3?

o   How do we effectively invite?

• Should we put a Q in charge of building a plan and driving our activities to reach within the community to attract people that don’t look like us?

o   What would this Qs objectives be?

• How do we create more experiences for the men to grow in empathy toward the black community?
• Do we need a new AO or do we already have AOs co-located to the black community that we invite them too?

o   Which part of the black community are we trying to connect to? Paradise or     middle/professional/ working middle class?

• Define what obstacles we have in reaching the black community?

o   What are the opportunities for overcoming the obstacles?

• How do we reach the black community to invite them into F3?

o   Military connection?

o   Churches?

o   Community events?
