Paradise Turkey Giveaway

Leave a comment

The F3 Fort Mill Pax is organizing a turkey giveaway in Fort Mill’s Paradise Community. Paradise is Fort Mill’s historic black neighborhood that has a rising poverty level. It’s located across the street from CVS on Tom Hall (near downtown Fort Mill/Doby’s Bridge Road).

Why: We will bless the people of Paradise with turkeys for Thanksgiving. This turkey giveaway will expand our reach into the community to develop male leaders through the F3 model. The Pax will eat pizza with the community to make this event relationship- based and not just a turkey transaction. This event creates as opportunity for us to engage and pray with this community that we continue to impact.

When: 11:30 am to 1:30 pm on Saturday, November 18th.

Where: Steele Street Park (in the pavilion) at 600 Steele Street, Fort Mill, SC 29715.

Call To Action: 1) Donate a FROZEN turkey, or 2) Make a monetary donation which will be used for turkey purchases via Copay’s Paypal account which is https://www.paypal.me/KFields84, or 3) Attend the event and engage with the community.

How To Donate A Turkey: Bring a FROZEN Turkey to a Saturday AO on 11/18/17. Site Qs will then bring the turkeys to the Event Leaders.

Event Leaders: Deacon (Twitter @careervaluebook), Barry Manilow (Twitter @chadhartman), Copay (Twitter @F3_Copay), Penny Pincher (803-727-8791), Bolt (Twitter @F3Bolt)

Event Parking: Please park at the Bethlehem Baptist Church at 601 Joe Louis Street, Fort Mill, SC 29715. Use the parking lot on the left side of the building (the parking lot that does not have a carport).

Spread the word!

Control

Leave a comment

19 High Impact Men posted for a moderate workout in the misty gloom today. Smuggler made a strong come back, kotter style. Stang lead the second stretch-o-rama which made the Pax grunt like they were in a birthing center. Asphalt came to  COT and blessed us with his powerful testimony.

The Thang:

Strech-o-rama for warm-up

COP: SSH (10x), IW (10x), HBW (20x), Sumo Squats (15x), MC (20x), Jumping Lunges (10x), Swimmers (10x) Freddie Mercuries (15x),

Partner Drills: One partner runs to the light post and back while the other does the following until the team does a total of 100 Merkins, 200 Monkey Humpers, 300 Flutters.

Strech-o-rama for cool down

Moleskin:

God is in control. Type A people, like myself, struggle to understand that reality. Reality became very clear when the Colombia Mission Team and I were stranded in Miami right before Irma hit.

I brainstormed solutions to “control” the situation like:

– Get another flight to escape the hurricane (reality check: the airport was closing).

– Take a train (reality check: the train station was closed).

– Find a hotel for shelter (reality check: all local hotels were closed).

We prayed and then escaped the storm by driving in what the media claimed would be 15 mile/hour traffic.

God was in control and His plan was far greater than ours. Instead of 12 men going to Colombia, he sent 17 of us to Florida to help hurricane survivors. Instead of serving 1 organization in Columbia, we served 5 organizations in Florida. Instead of engaging a few donors to raise money for the mission trip, He engaged over 1K people in our church/community to collect supplies for the hurricane survivors in Florida. Instead bringing a few supplies to Colombia (less than the 50 lbs limit), He had us bring over 10K lbs of supplies to  people who needed it in Florida.

I’m glad that God is in control. His plans are far greater than what we can imagine.

Peace,

Deacon

Influencers Pre-Blast

Leave a comment

At its core, the Influencers is a ministry which guides individuals into an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ.

This is accomplished in a small-group setting called a Journey Group. Participants will initially meet for a 6 week period with a group of believers who share the same heart to go deeper in their relationship with Christ. The key Scripture passage for this ministry is John 15, where Jesus said, “If a man abides in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit.” As they begin to understand and participate in this process of abiding, true life transformation begins to take place. These individuals become Influencers to their world, which means marriages, children, businesses, and communities are impacted.

We will be launching an “intro” to the Journey on October 23rd. Come join us for a 6 week study to learn more about what it truly means to be a part of the vine. We will be launching the full 9 month discipleship program in January for those interested and it’s truly life changing!

Some noted F3 Journey Alum…..be sure and ask them about how it’s impacted their lives…..

  • Cake Boss
  • Cobra Kai
  • Bojangles
  • Crab Cakes
  • Terminator
  • Destiny

When: Monday mornings at 6:15am (will last 45 minutes or so).

Where: Paracle Realty on market street in Baxter

Preblast – S2S – Sharing to Sharpen (3rd F)

Leave a comment
  • QIC: Chicken Hawk
  • When: 07/27/2017
  • Pax:
  • Posted In: 3rdF

Starting Thursday, 7/27 at 0620 until 0645 after your 1st F post (or in lieu of) join Pax for a new 2nd / 3rd F opportunity at Panera Bread @ Kingsly outside in the screen patio area.  This is not a bible study per se, this does not require any deep knowledge of the Word, this doesn’t even require that you know and follow God to participate.

The purpose of this AO is to give men an opportunity to roll up our sleeves and to share our burdens and struggles and to get support and encouragement from those that we sweat with every day.  The idea is that this time together will be part 2nd F and being in community with our brothers, it will have tentacles of Whetstone and the idea that we sharpen each other (Iron Sharpening Iron) and it will have flavors of 3rd F where we seek answers in God’s word.  In some ways, this will be an opportunity to test the “living word” for answers to every day struggles and for men to come alongside each other to encourage and strengthen each other.

The format of discussion will go something like this…

  • Q will bring the topic of a struggle they are wrestling with personally. This can be a very personal struggle or trial or it can be something of this world that is bothersome to them that they can’t come to grips with.
  • Pax will engage to give their perspective on their experiences/struggles with the topic
  • Q will take the opportunity to look into the Word to find scripture that supports, acknowledges, gives encouragement or guidance around the topic
  • Pax will give perspective on how they have handled, overcome, found hope around the topic.

Please join if you are available on 7/27 and any Thursday thereafter at 6:20 @ Panera Bread.

AYE!
