“An object in motion tends to stay in motion, and an object at rest tends to stay at rest.” Newton’s First Law of Motion
Okay, so for years you’ve been reading my blog about the importance of meeting the pressing needs of their widowed and single parents in your church. And maybe you have done nothing about it. If so, then you, my friend, are my worst nightmare.
The reason you are my worst nightmare is because the last thing I want to do is write blog posts ad infinitum. Clearly you have a problem and that problem is inertia. Or, to paraphrase Newton, a person at rest tends to stay at rest.
When it comes to starting a men’s team ministry to their widowed and single parents in your church, the most important – and difficult – step you will take will be your first step. Start the ball rolling by contacting your pastor and/or men’s ministry leader and ask them what they think about starting a men’s team ministry.
That’s it. That’s all you have to do to break the chain of inaction that has paralyzed you. Do it now. The longer you wait, the more likely inaction will once again lull you to sleep. Stick those little turtle legs of yours out of your shell and get moving.
And remember, I’ve made it easy for any ordinary Christian man to start a men’s team ministry to their widowed and single parents in his church. Join Meeting to Meet Needs today and follow the step by step instructions.
On your mark. Get set. Go!

For the past sixteen years New Commandment Men’s Ministries has helped hundreds of churches throughout North American and around the world recruit teams of men who permanently adopt their widowed and single parents in their congregations for the purpose of donating two hours of service to them one Saturday morning each month.
