Battle Plan for the Man

Churches need men like you who are willing to lead the charge toward the next step in discipleship. Getting a man’s attention and helping him decide to attend an off-site event is not a simple or small task. That’s why Noble Warriors wants to lock arms with you to help!

Before You Go

6-8 WEEKS OUT: Get the conference on your church’s calendar as a significant event and make sure the posters included in this packet are hung in your church. Recruit a few men who will make early commitments to join you in promoting the event. Send out a “Save the Date Email” to all men in your church. *Use the sample Save the Date Email provided for you at noblewarriors.org/battleplan/ Recruit a team (include women and teens) to cover the men in prayer.

5 WEEKS OUT: Decide on the lunch plans for your group (buying the optional box lunch, tailgating with your church, or eating out a local restaurant.) Communicate these plans with your men. Show the promo video or PowerPoint slide at church on Sunday morning.

4 WEEKS OUT: Write your GROUP CODE information on the back of the business cards. Download the cards or use the one included in your mailed packet. Distribute the cards to your men, so they can register online. Click HERE to learn how to register. 

3 WEEKS OUT: Get several men to join you in making personal phone calls and connections to invite men to join you at the conference. When men commit, encourage them to go ahead and register now.

2 WEEKS OUT: Finalize travel plans and communicate them with the men in your group. Make sure every man is registered. You can also contact us for an updated list or we want to invite them to contact us or remind them that if they have a group code!

1 WEEK OUT: If space allows, add last minute stragglers to your group online or call 804. 477. 1720.

WHILE YOU’re at the conference 

Maximize your time together! With a little planning and leadership, you can help lead the men in your church to have a great experience, build relationships, and grow in their walk with Christ. This shouldn’t just be a men’s event. It should be a catalyst that moves your men to more discipleship together long after the conference is over.

Travel together – Have the men meet at your church or another strategic location. Begin by grabbing coffee and having some conversation as you prepare for the day.

Show your unity – One way of building unity with the men of your church is to provide everyone attending the conference with a shirt, vest, or sweater with the Noble Warriors logo and/or your church logo. This also will remind men for years to come about their time together at the conference.

Worship together – The sanctuary at the Conference opens at 8:15am so position your men to be ready to enter together, sit together, and worship together at the opening main session.

Workshop Selection – Encourage men to attend workshops based on their interests and different seasons of life. Inform each man where you will meet after the workshops.

Eat lunch together – Gather the men together before lunch at a specific location. Consider bringing coolers of sandwiches and drinks or even tailgating together. The lunch break is a great time to discuss and process the morning workshops.

Stay for the day – The conference will end promptly at 4:00pm. Be sure to stay for the whole day and encourage the men in your group to do the same. Often, the closing message is the highlight of the conference for men.

Order conference recordings – Bring the conference home by ordering the recorded keynote messages and equipping workshop speakers. Order the recordings at the conference or online at noblewarriors.org.

WHEN YOU ARE BACK 

Keep the momentum going! We pray for, plan for, and fully expect that your men will be impacted by their conference experience. God will meet them there and stir their hearts. Then they will say, “Wow, this was great! What’s next?”

Will you and your team be ready for that questions? Here are some thoughts about next steps:

Dinner the Night of the Conference: The best place to begin to capture the momentum of the men’s conference is the ride home and possibly planning ahead to stop for dinner that night.

Proverbs 27:17 Night: Plan a Noble Man Night where men share testimonies of what they learned at the conference and what they are going to do. Use the time to pair men up to pray together.

Father’s Day in June: Be sure to honor all fathers and sons at your church.
