When we started this group, we gave each
other tribal names after the movie Lord of the Rings. These names
reflect our personality. We used this movie because of the
fellowship and unity they shared and their willingness to do anything
for each other. This is the same as our tribe, the following story
tells you how are tribe developed, i hope you enjoyed this story.
I
(Boromir the DEAD, BUT ALIVE WITH CHRIST!!!), am from Wichita Falls, Texas and I had a Dream about
something that is Bigger than anything I thought I could ever do.
Not just personally but in the sense of my spirituality as well.
My friend
(Frodo)
and
(Samwise)
started what would become known as the tribe, this tribe has grown to
tribalinc.org. They added two members to this tribe
(Legolas)
and
(Gimli).
These four great gentlemen UNITED to not only better themselves, but for
,
,
AND
,
these three did it to better their marriages. They attended
several
(Promise
Keepers Conferences) and in doing so, they began the journey of becoming
better Men of God. This journey has taught them how to survive
WELL despite a culture that BOMBARDS us with TEMPTATIONS. Often rivaling
those of biblical days.
As the tribe grew stronger, so did an
everlasting bond that they could count on. In fact, they knew that no
matter what happened, they could count on each other to be there for
support and advice. "LIVIN LIFE TOGETHER " , a motto from
has
become something they hold close to their hearts.
This tribe started
meeting once a week sharing the Gospel and sharing each other lives.
They would have anywhere from 2 to 4 members in any given week.
They continued to do this until the 2007
convention
in San Antonio, Texas. That is when I
, join
this tribe and found a whole new world in my belief in God the Father
and also in the bond of friendship I would develop with these great
men. During this time
had
stopped coming ... but he did rejoin us for
.
But it also revealed the
BIG DREAM and
the path of our journey, in that this tribe would hold a conference that
would be similar to
.
I had known
through
playing volleyball for our church. I really did not know him well
till this trip, but after the conference
experience, man,
and
I were brothers. This was a life
changing time for everybody who went on this trip. Not only did it
change our lives spiritually, but it also revealed a dream of a journey
that we will soon be going on.
This dream was revealed to ,
in that this tribe would hold a conference this would be similar to
but
for the north Texas region. His dream was confirmed when I
had
a BIG DREAM that I was at this tribal
conference speaking to this arena full of men and telling them how God
is moving not my only life, but also that God is working in the lives of
my fellow tribal members. During this time it was also revealed to
that
a tribal website would be beneficial not
only to our tribal community, but for
other men looking for something more. We believe that our tribe
represents a way of accountability for the men of our group. It is
also a way for us to lean on other men in our time of need. We
have developed this mission statement. This is something that we
try to do, because without these things we are nothing. They are
“Moving Men Forward, Moving Families Closer, Moving teens back home.
Without our families, we
as men are empty inside and will have something missing. By moving
forward we are becoming more like Christ and not livin in the world but
living by His word. Also with bringing teens back home,
we are trying to assist our teenagers by helping
them avoid immoral pitfalls. By building bridges that clarify our
intentions -- simply put, that we love them, we wants what’s best for
them and that we are committed to teaching them the Jesus life.
So pray for this tribe, as we continue to grow with new members.
Including
(Elrond
the wise) ,
(Gandalf
the grey), and
(Gandalf
the White). These three new members are challenging us to act more
like Christ and do what we are supposed to. Also pray for our
BIG DREAM
of holding a tribal conference, our goal of
helping other men find Christ and applying Him to their daily lives.
So this is our story, and we're stickin to
it. We invite you to DREAM BIG
& be Dangerous by joining us on this journey.
