Your support helped Into The Deep impact 500 men in 2022
Into The deep experienced significant growth in impacting men’s lives because of the generous support of people like you. Your support allowed ITD to hire its first Summer Intern, facilitate weekly huddles, create new curriculum, offer classes, produce weekly workouts, host men’s breakfasts, and develop a Man Camp for a local church. In fact, five churches received coaching on how to implement ITD’s 5 step process for creating men’s community. Your dollars went directly to calling men out of isolation and into Christ-centered community in 2022, and with your continued support, we will reach our goals for 2023. We thank you for your generous support!
Although ITD impacted 500 men in 2022, it is the story of one guy that shows just how valuable your support is.
Gary was just like you and me. He was living life as he knew it when suddenly everything changed. He lost his job right at a time when he and his wife were going to become empty nesters. The term “empty” took on new meaning as Gary realized he was living in isolation. It was at this time that he received an invitation from Into The Deep to join other guys in community. Gary took a step of faith and joined the gathering and found other men who were struggling with isolation. Over the year he continued to join ITD at gatherings and classes and soon found a Christ-centered community that allowed him to discuss life and faith. This environment gave Gary the perspective and patience to persevere through the challenges he faced. That perseverance led to a new job, a healthy transition into empty nesting with his wife, and the strength to weather the next storm in life. Your support allows ITD to reach out to men in isolation and call them into a deeper relationship with God and others. Thank you for your support.
