Why there is a NEED

The ultimate rite of Passage weekend is designed to teach fathers and son’s how to bond together and to challenge boy’s to become men. The bible says “Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the sons born in one’s youth”. Psalm 127:4

Blessing launches a boy into manhood confident that he has the right stuff to be a world changer!

1. Father/Son bonding and fellowship
2. Teaching and training on what it means to be a man of God
3. Building a community of men
4. Malachi 4:5-6 Restoring the hearts of the fathers to their
children and the hearts of the children to their fathers
5. Blessing sons and calling them into manhood
