The Bigger Breakfast
Gathering men for fellowship, food, and focus on the mission of God.
September 25, 2010
Southern Baptist Men in the United States and Canada will be joining Baptist Men in Europe and Africa on September 25, 2010, for a “somewhat” simultaneous men’s breakfast.
Begun in the United Kingdom in 2008, Baptist Men from across England gathered in churches, homes, and restaurants at 9 a.m. for breakfast and more. Besides sharing a meal, The Bigger Breakfast became the forum for challenging men to focus on their role as spiritual leaders.
For Southern Baptists, The Bigger Breakfast 2010 theme is “Grasp the Vision.” The Bigger Breakfast’s primary objective is to gather men across the Southern Baptist Convention to launch a 40-day prayer plan for spiritual awakening among men in North America.
“Our churches need the time, commitment, and passion that men bring to the local church,” said Jim Burton, the North American Mission Board’s Mission Education Team Leader. “Many churches want to launch or re-launch ministry with and to men. Our hope is that The Bigger Breakfast will be the gathering event for launching that vision and a united time of prayer.
“I would encourage churches to make this an occasion where men feel free to bring their friends, sons, grandsons, or other boys. Guests and children need to see Christian men gathering for the priority of connecting with God’s mission.”
