Conference Reflection:

We are committed men who recognize our need for God's help.

We gather in Christ's presence in an atmosphere of trust, equality, and anonymity to share personal feelings and experiences.
We unconditionally accept each other and prayerfully support one another.

As iron sharpens iron, so man sharpens his fellow man.
                                                                       Proverbs 27:17
