Palm Valley Church offers many ways to connect with other Christ Followers and to grow in the Lord.  A great way to do this is by participating in a group such as Ignite Men's Breakfast, which meets every other Thursday at Viva Life Coffee Shop - 2700 N. 10th in McAllen, for an inspiring time of fellowship, Bible study, prayer, and breakfast.  Last week, 26 men attended and spent time studying second Peter and encouraging each other in their walk with God.  If you missed the meeting, please plan to be at the next Ignite Men's Breakfast, which will be held TOMORROW March 5th at 7:00 A.M.  No sign up is required, just come; you will be warmly welcomed!

Our PVC Ignite Men's Breakfast Group has been an encouragement to all those who attend. Here are a few testimonies from men who attend the group:
 
" For me, this group has been a great way to meet other men in an atmosphere that encourages openness, while also offering a Biblical lesson. I had needed both, and when I lost my job, the group has provided me support when I have needed it most…seeing other men who want to know the Lord more fully, who want to learn His word more deeply is great, simply great." Doug

"These days my schedule is very busy for me.  Family, work, school and other things sometimes crowds my time with my Lord and Savior. For me as a man I need to rub shoulders with other men that follow Christ; when I don't, I get knocked around a little more than I want.  The fellowship with strong men of Christ will help me to face the blows that would normally make me stumble." David

“With my hectic schedule and daily stressful demands, the PVC Men’s Breakfast has been a consistent time of mid-week inspiration for me.  I’m especially encouraged to see other men take an hour out of their busy schedules to get a spiritual ‘shot-in-the-arm’ of God’s Word and from praying together with other brothers.”  Mike

"The fellowship, testimonies, prayers and mentorship from other Christian men has been absolutely paramount for my journey from a life of sin to spiritual freedom. Without those elements, I don’t think I would have ever found my way out of the harmful & addictive habits that dominated my life so many years ago. Men need the strength that we find in each other. The men’s breakfast continues to be a place of accountability and encouragement for me." Chuck

"I would like to say that: For me, the Men's Breakfast meetings, are an essential part of PVC. They actually are one of the main reasons why I joined our church. This is a ministry that we all as men should consider as part of our Christian lives. We are different and we need somebody to talk to and pray with, in a manner that we can not do somewhere else. This ministry has been a blessing for me. It has allowed me not only to refocus on God in my daily life, but to share some time and prayer requests with godly men." Mario

"Our PVC Men’s Breakfast group has been a real blessing.We have been studying 1st Peter; it’s amazing how relevant his gospel is to my life."  Mike

"This group is a vital adjunct to men's growth. The opportunity to meet and get to know these fellows of like precious faith is key to building relationships and truly becoming part of the church. I meet someone new each week!" Bud
