#2 Disaster Relief - Mr.Art Sabourin, ABMen NYS Disaster Relief
This is a Certificate Training Session— It requires both hours to complete
#3 Camping as a Mission - Pat & John Robinson from Pathfinder Camp
Learn why it is important that churches and their men’s groups support youth camps. Men's Ministry does best when there is a mix of meaningful, hands-on work that makes a difference and great fellowship. The camps benefit by being able to spend more of their limited finances to bring the gospel to the youth of today - a gospel that they may not get anywhere else.
#4 Men’s Ministry That Works – Mr. Mike Gerega, President, ABMen NYS
Explore the reasons for having a men’s group and learn techniques that you can use to start, challenge or grow a group in your own church. The workshop will be geared toward laity but clergy are more than welcome to attend.  For those interested, we will attempt to reserve some time to share our past experiences both successful and unsuccessful.
#5 Clergy Only - A Needs Forming Basis for Men's Ministry - Rev. Neil Strong
The Call to Pastors: The church is in desperate need of help in addressing the needs of men. Those with eyes to see know there is a call. While many men's ministries exist, there is a gaping hole in the bow of the ship. This breach needs to be addressed by Pastor's in the local church.
