Families today need heroes who pray, serve, suffer, and die fearlessly. Join us at the 2024 Men’s Gathering to learn how the martyrs of the early Christian church still preach to us with their lives, their lips, and their blood. Martin Luther called martyrdom the “pattern of the true Christian life.” Men who attend this year will learn this pattern and will be encouraged by the martyrs to joyfully face persecution, suffering, and even death. You will hear the great crowd of witnesses cheering you on as you run the race of life to meet Jesus at the finish line.
