What you are about to take part in may be one of the most spiritually significant experiences of your journey.

Expect God to show up.
Taking you deeper. Restoring your strength. Giving you back your masculine heart. We want to offer a bit of guidance as you join us in prayer for this experience. Pray: For your own heart. That God would prepare it for what He has for you to receive. (Prov.4:23, Mark 4, especially vs. 8 and 20, Matt. 5:8)

• That you would give God PERMISSION to do in your heart what He so desires for you at Spring Training 2009.
• For the supernatural protection of your family leading up to and during Spring Training 2009.
• For your travel to and from Spring Training 2009.
• For every detail that God desires at Spring Training 2009

Expect opposition
Be self‐controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a
roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in
the faith. (1 Peter 5)
Arguments with your wife. Health problems. Being inundated with demands at the office. Assaults against your strength, your character, your work, your reputation. Roadblocks coming up between you and Spring Training 2009. Men, please know, these are ALL indications that you are exactly where you are supposed to be. The evil one does not want you to walk forward and take part in what God has for you at Spring Training 2009.

Having said that, we urge you to join us in daily prayer, standing spiritually in agreement with us and all the men coming to take this expedition. I am reminded of the words of Maximus in The Gladiator when he and his fellow gladiators were thrown into the Roman Coliseum—waiting for what they feared would be their destruction. Maximus said to his fellow brothers in this battle,

“Whatever comes out of these gates, we have a better chance of survival if we work together… If we stay together, we survive.”
