New Commandment Men’s Ministries helps churches
recruit, train, organize and deploy teams of
men that permanently adopt the widowed, single
parents and others with long term needs in their
church and community.
Teams are normally comprised of four men each
and each man is asked to donate three hours
of time, one Saturday morning a month, from
seven to ten On a typical service day, all the
teams meet at the church for prayer and bible study
from seven to eight a.m. Then they break up into
their pre-assigned teams and go and work in the
home of their care receiver from eight to ten
a.m. The men do basic chores around the home such
as fix leaky faucets, clean windows, haul trash,
etc. At the end of their time, the men gather
around their care receiver and pray with him
or her.
Each month, the team returns to the same care
receiver, so their ministry to him or her
extends over months and years. The men are asked
to pray for the street they are working on
and to make their services available to other
widowed or single parents on the street. In
this way, their ministry often extends into
the community.
New Commandment Men’s Ministries typically
sees ten to thirty per cent of all the men in
a church become involved in this ministry.
