The Gathering of Men in Fort Bend County
exists to disciple men to a mature relationship with Jesus Christ through outreach, growth,
and service
Welcome to our home on the web! The Gathering of Men in Fort Bend County is the newest chapter of the national organization The Gathering USA, inc. A ministry that was begun in Houston in 1978 by Dr. John Tolson. Alarmed by the lack of spiritual direction men were providing for their families and the alarmingly low number of men attending church, John developed an appealing and effective way to reach men for Christ by mobilizing Christian men to invite their friends to a non-threatening outreach event in a secular setting.
Men were recruited and trained to be table hosts for the Outreach Breakfasts, where a dynamic, nationally known speaker would present a winsome message with an evangelistic thrust. Typically 500 to 2,000 men would attend, including business, professional, and government leaders in the community.
As men were reached, they were placed into small groups and Bible studies which ranged from 10 to 100 men. Men were encouraged to study the Word, to pray, to learn Scripture, and to fellowship with other Christian men. Many men were discipled in a one-on-one setting to help them to apply the Christian life on a daily basis.
