30 May 2006 Article from Couldn't Help Noticing
During a lunch break at the recent EQUIP conference, where my colleague John Sammut and I were running the bookstall, we nipped into the closest coffee shop for some sustenance. John knew the owner of the coffee shop and went over to say hello.The owner of the coffee shop, who was not a Christian, asked John why he was at Darling Harbour, and John explained that there was a big convention of Christian women just next door.
“Oh that explains it then!” says the owner.
“What do you mean?”, says John.
“I was wondering why all our customers were so nice this morning. And that explains it.”
“You can really notice a difference?”
“Sure,” says the owner, “last weekend there was a convention and the people were just horrible.”
“Who was at the other convention?”
“Real estate agents.”
Praise God that the godliness of the women saints at Darling Harbour on Saturday can bear such testimony to the grace of God in this way.

where's MIC?
i mean, we've got "women in the church" aka WIC, what do the men got?
nuttin.
let's start MIC.
I would Josh, but I am concentrating my efforts on starting J.F.J. - Ju-jitsu For Jesus! We are compiling resource materials to help the church world wide! What could be better than teaching men and young children -
1. Self-defense [Christians aren't wimps]
2. Self-discipline [This will help people stay consistent with devotions]
3. Self-improvement [Your body is a temple right? Doesn't God deserve the best? Plus, physical fitness decreases stress levels, and church members will be better equipped to be an example to others]
4. Devotions after the sparring will challenge students to "wrestle with God."
It will be the greatest outreach and discipleship tool in 2000 years!
