More than 100 men, including 25 who were not Seventh-day Adventists, attended “Are You Man Enough?” at Chesapeake Conference’s Frederick (Md.) church February 7-9.

“It was a great event. A good time meeting others who are focused on being a better man for their family, church and community,” said William Ivany, an attendee from Martinsburg, W.Va., on the event Facebook page.

The event drew participants from Maryland, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, California, Florida and Montana.

Frederick member Sean Loomis and retired Navy SEAL Eric Davis planned physical activities that required the men to work with strangers of different ages, physical strength levels and communication styles to improve their communication and leadership skills.

Christian counselor Ken Williams and Frederick youth pastor Mark Sigue also provided practical training on how to become better leaders.

“If we are told, we forget. If we write it down, we lose it and don’t read it. But if we do it and fail followed by immediate correction, the success rates increases dramatically,” said Davis.

“That is what guys want. Men want an adventure! We gave them that experience,” said Loomis.

Loomis said they’re already planning another event for the fall. For more information on upcoming events, visit manenoughevents.com.
