Live on Purpose: March 18-20, 2011

Leary Gates — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 04:19:03 +0000

I love engaging audiences of men, especially those who’ve intentionally taken time away to evaluate their life purpose. Something powerful happens when men meet together to engage, interact and pray about their future.

Purposeful living is something I’ve studied, labored to put into practice, and spoken on for nearly a decade. The older I get, the more aware I become of the precious gift of time we have to live fully to the potential God created in us. And I want to do everything I can to help others unleash their potential. So, I’ve developed a number of the workshops and weekend retreat programs on that topic. I’ll be delivering one of them, Live on Purpose, to the men of Zimmerman Evangelical Free Church at their men’s retreat on March 18-20 at the Timber Bay Retreat Center in Onamia, MN.

If you could use a break from the routine and would like to get away, the guys from Zimmerman would welcome you to join them and me. The cost for the weekend is $100. You can download a flyer and register online by clicking here. Space is limited, so be sure to register right away.

It would be fun to see you there.

Boldly forward,

Live on Purpose: November 20-22

In September, I had the opportunity to speak to nearly a hundred men at a retreat hosted by Camp Lebanon. The theme of the weekend was about how to live a more intentional, purposeful life.

Following that retreat, I received the following email from one of the participants:

Leary,

Excellent and profitable time for all, and an understatement for me. It’s like being lost in the woods and someone gives me a compass.

I dreamt last night that I was laying on a table and this voice said, “Gentlemen, we can rebuild him.” That’s all I remember from 6 Million Dollar Man…

Thanks again Leary.

Gary

Well, I won’t promise you either a compass or 6 million dollar dreams, but I can tell you that something powerful happens when you go away with the Lord to think and pray purposefully about your future.

If you could use a break from the routine, I invite you to take part in the next Live on Purpose retreat hosted at Covenant Pines Camp in McGregor, Minnesota on November 20-22. It’s your chance to get away, get recharged and reclaim the purpose for your life.

Invite a friend or invite your whole church community of men. The Live on Purpose retreat is open to all adult men. For more information, download the retreat flyer or visit the Covenant Pines website.

I hope to see you there.

Boldly forward,

I just received word from Bill Abeler, the Executive Director, of Camp Lebanon that senior pastors can join the men of their church at the Live on Purpose retreat on September 18-20 for no charge. Bill knows the key role that these leaders have in setting the tone for men to live purposeful, engaged lives for Christ.

Pastors, here’s your chance to get personally refueled and to deepen relationships with the men of your church. To learn more, visit the Camp Lebanon website or download a flyer.

Live on Purpose: September 18-20

Leary Gates — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 12:00:55 +0000

God’s called every man to a great adventure. Yet, most of us are too busy merely surviving to even stop to think about where we are headed. What we do today looks pretty much like a repeat of yesterday and the day before that. Few of us are trusting God to do great things through us. Our actions are more of a response to circumstances than a purposeful discerning of how to live a life pleasing to the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:9).

But you can change all that. Join me and other men across Minnesota, September 18-20, on spiritual adventure that may change your life. The Live on Purpose men’s retreat at Camp Lebanon in Upsala, Minnesota, is your chance to get away, get recharged and reclaim the purpose for your life.

Invite a friend or invite your whole church community of men. The Live on Purpose retreat is open to all adult men. For more information, visit the Camp Lebanon website.

Let the adventure begin!
