The Mission
. . . of the Men of the SHIELD
We are a Christian ministry of men who seek to help other men learn the value of being kingdom men. Kingdom men live in such a way that their masculinity serves God, the church, their families, their country, and their employer. Men of the Shield learn that it is when Christian men stand to gather with God, they are at their strongest. Men of the SHIELD endeavor to hold an upright stance in God, so the lost might see a better way to live. It is our desire to help others learn to meet with the Holy Spirit in a personal way as He, and only He, inspires the lost to seek our Lord Jesus Christ. For the man who does not know how to be an upright man, the Men of the SHIELD will teach that it is through the intentional imitation of Jesus Christ that one becomes all He plans for them to become. We teach that the following of the voice of God, which He calls the Sword (The Holy Bible), it the absolute guide for being a masculine man of God.

He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.
