After writing a blog post a couple of weeks ago about the Fishersmen group, there were still questions about the nature and purpose of our group. To help us remember I’ve come up with an acronym. We’re a bunch of Fishersmen APES. Christian men who are striving in community with each other to be ACCOUNTABLE, PRAYERFUL, ENCOURAGING, AND SERVING.
ACCOUNTABLE not in that we’ll have weekly sin confessionals, but rather that we’ll enjoy close transparent relationships where we can pick a spec out of a brother’s eye and be there for one another if one is struggling.
PRAYERFUL in knowing each other well enough that we can effectively hold each other up in prayer and give thanks together.
ENCOURAGING in that we will cheerlead for each other as we seek to be more like Jesus, good husbands, good fathers, good workers, good friends, good neighbors.
SERVING in that we will meet needs in our group and in the community in the name of Christ. Particularly as it relates to discipleship and leading others in their spiritual walk.
So that’s what Fishersmen is about, just a bunch of APES.
Blessings!
