Conferences aim to mend, transform men and families

Times are becoming increasingly difficult for men in America, with men hard-hit by recent job losses. That’s why two events are being held this weekend to offer men encouragement, tools for healing and empowerment, reports Charisma News Online.

Beginning Thursday, Bishop T.D. Jakes will host his 16th annual ManPower event. The three-day conference is designed to give men facing “tremendous” pressure the skills “to overcome those forces that have traditionally held them back," said Jakes, senior pastor of The Potter’s House in Dallas.

Meanwhile, Denver-based Promise Keepers will host its Igniting Transformation conference Saturday in Orlando, Fla. The event, which is the ministry’s fifth gathering this year, will focus on empowering families spiritually and, in a new trend for the ministry, will be open to women and youth.
