As we began, we talked about this new AO. It is a new location, new atmosphere, some new PAX. Just as this AO is an expansion/new creation of Rock Hill AO’s, Scripture tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:17,”if ANYONE is IN CHRIST, he is a NEW creation, the Old is gone and the New has come.” Just as a new AO is unlike another AO and is “set apart,” if we are followers of Christ, we are to be set apart…new creations. The “old me” no longer exists because I have been made new by our gracious Savior and His redemption THROUGH His death on the cross and resurrection from the grave. People should see us live our lives and say “there is something different about that guy, and I want what he has,” and “those men have been with Jesus!” (Acts 4:13)

Prayers

Dabo and family on the loss of his dad

Solid State as he “expands” with F3 to Minnesota. Time to plant a snow shovel flag. We will miss you brother. Go in His strength and plant the seed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and use F3 as a way to make His name known to others and make men #HIM’s because they have come to know our Savior.

24 PAX arrived at The Loard’s House AKA Padre’s House of Pain. YHC was thinking I’d get there early and plan my course of action and here our brothers of RH are already parked and ready to roll. I found it amazing how much PHOP has grown and overall RH growth. Well done men and keep the EHing going. So the mumble chatter commenced until the kick off time and away we went.

YHC pulled up to chat with the PAX about the Storms we face and where to do run to when facing the storms. Storms like rough marriages, loss of child, loss job or house may seem like the world is coming down on top of us. When Jesus told the disciples to get into the boat and we will go to the other side, they did as he commanded. A storm came in that was really rough and they were scared to death. Jesus said to them, did I not say we would go to the other side?? I did not say I would get half way and we would die or I’d leave you hanging, but rather I will get you to the other side!! We are never promised a smooth flight or sailing in this life, but what we are promised is that our every need will be provided, including getting through the storms of our life. Run to Sky Q in your storm….don’t look anywhere else!

Mosey to COT

Was great seeing all the new faces and some familiar ones. Always honored and humbles to Q especially in Rock Hill with our brothers. F3 is so cool because of the relationships we build. I know and belong to a group of guys across our whole region whom I would never know if it were not for F3. Its better that any networking or social club and the relationships are real…no ulterior motive but to get better together!

Hog and Coyote…..Sign Up and do it! Its fun!!

Lots of Prayers and Praises, but one I want to mention is Mailman and his family leading North Rock Hill Church until a pastor arrives. We laid hands on Mailman and I ask that the PAX continue to lift him up as he courageously leads that congregation. Peace Brother!

Thank you again Riddler. Thank you my brothers of the gloom and always Finish Strong!!!

Cake Boss

6 highly impact men went on a Recon for a possible AO Clover High School with RealTree leading the leaders of York and YHC around a campus that is truly aMAZING

We needed no disclaimer for it was instructed that we were all seasoned veterans of this f3nation Thang.

With that being said

We moseyed around to the middle school football field, which in football field standards it was aMAZING,

The Qstick was given to Drydock he had us do a series of moseying back and forth across the aMAZING field and ended up with 3/4 of a mile run with SSH in the process

We moseyed while the Q stick was passed from pax to pax and different snot woggler events followed.

As the beatdown continued , we came to the conclusion that this aMAZING potential  AO is put together like a Maze that you can really get lost in with the lack of oxygen from bearcrawls, Ltd Dan’s, and merkins and more merkins

We ended in our COT and gave praises to Legoland for how far he has come in his F3 journey and the brothership the F3York gents have, and prayers for our brother DABO on the lost of his father

It’s a true honor to be able to travel our great region and meet and be affected positively by so many individuals that come together to be one strong group of HIMS the brothership is alive and well thru out our region.  There is nothing truly like it.
