The Men's Ministry of Christ Chapel in Warner Robins
is inviting the public to participate in their July 4
Men's Breakfast, a community-wide tribute to area
military service members, police officers,
firefighters, and paramedic/EMTs. Tommy Neiman, author
of Sirens for the Cross and founder of a ministry for
first responders, will be the special guest speaker at
the breakfast. Neiman, a nationally known speaker,
serves as a firefighter/ paramedic in Fort Pierce,
Florida, and also as the department's chaplain and as
a regional director for the Fellowship of Christian
Firefighters. He was one of 12 firefighter chaplains
asked to give out urns to families of victims of 9-11.
The Men's Ministry at Christ Chapel will provide a
free breakfast of eggs, bacon, sausage, and grits to
all who attend. Each first responder or emergency
worker will receive a free copy of Neiman's book.
The July 4th event will begin at 8 a.m. and end at
10 a.m. Greg Fetz, a firefighter from Warner Robins,
will provide the musical entertainment.
Last year, the Men's Ministry hosted the first
annual tribute to first responders in the Middle
Georgia community, and 125 people participated in the
breakfast event.
"Last year we just invited men. This year,
we're including the whole family. July 4 is a great
day for families to come out and enjoy a patriotic
program. This is a morning activity and it's free. The
patriotic breakfast was well received last year.
Firefighters brought their trucks, and law enforcement
officers brought their police cars. This year's event
is open to all who want to attend and give honor to
the local military, law enforcement, and
firefighters," said Terry Theus, organizer of
Christ Chapel's Men's Breakfasts.
"Scripture tells us to give honor where honor
is due. This July 4 breakfast event is a small token
of the gratitude for what these first responders are
doing for this community and for our country. We want
everyone to come out and help us to honor them. It's
also an opportunity to invite friends and have the
gospel message clearly presented in a non-threatening
atmosphere," Theus added.
Christ Chapel's monthly Men's Breakfasts have been
held for almost two years at the Warner Robin's
location as a way to create a sense of unity in the
Christian community by breaking down denominational
barriers.
"We want to give our Pastors John Woods and
Andy King the credit for instilling a passion for lost
souls in us," Theus said.
Andy King, Pastor of Christ Chapel Warner Robins,
said, "I'm excited about the involvement of other
churches in our community in the Men's Breakfast. It's
not just this church. It's been our heart to see walls
come down that separate the body of Christ. In a span
of almost two years, I've spoken once, and we've had
over 16 speakers. Our purpose isn't to build this
church, it's to build the Kingdom. We prepare the
breakfast and we set it up, but 90 percent of the time
another pastor comes in and leads worship."
