Men:
Thank you for registering for the Fall 2020, Anvil Men’s Boot Camp.  We are so excited about this upcoming weekend where we get to unplug and to step back 50-yards from the front-lines, retreating to the wilderness to spend time with God and in fellowship with one another.

On this page you will find all of the information you need to help you prepare for the weekend, including directions, packing information, etc.  Please read through the information closely.  Also please keep an eye on your email as we draw closer to the event for any last-minute details that may arise.

This weekend is rooted in the Wild at Heart model.  We encourage each man to read Wild at Heart by John Eldredge before attending to help prepare and orient your heart for the weekend.  If you have read it before, you are encouraged to read it once more as a refresher.  If you don’t have a copy, you can order one through Amazon.

You can also order through Kindle or on audio book through Audible or Google Play Books.

Reading this book ahead of the weekend will help prepare your heart and mind for what this weekend will entail.

Be in Prayer:
Lastly men, as you prepare for this weekend, we encourage you continue to spend time in prayer to prepare your heart.  Trust us, the closer this weekend gets, the harder the warfare will come as the enemy will try to stop you.  We will be continuing to pray over each of you men as we prepare for this adventure.  We pray that you come without expectations of any outcomes, but just with an open heart and with full anticipation of what the Father will do thru this time.

We can’t wait to see you in November!
