This month’s “Men’s breakfast” will be held on Saturday, Oct. 15 starting at 8 a.m. at the Emo Legion.
For only $10, the men of the district are invited to enjoy another fantastic buffet breakfast and listen to this month’s featured speaker, Bruce Christopherson, station manager for Psalm 99.5 over in International Falls, Mn.
Few men have done greater service in our area for the sake of the Gospel than Christopherson, who for more than two decades has managed a listener-supported Christian radio station.
Although an exceptionally busy man, Christopherson is looking forward to sharing with you the joys and challenges he encounters in his daily walk with Christ.
Besides managing the station on a daily basis, he also is involved in helping to rebuild their radio tower, which collapsed during a recent storm.
Despite his busy schedule and daily obligations to the station, Christopherson has a very timely and urgent message to share with the men of the district.
Please take the time to attend this month’s “Men’s Breakfast” and, if possible, bring a friend.
