The setting: the beautiful, aspen-covered mountains of Colorado. Nearly 70 men gathered together on a journey to invite God to bring spiritual and emotional healing and restoration—more life, more love, and more freedom.

These men came from literally all over the country: Florida, Maine, California, and Oregon, and we want to share some of their stories with you ....

Gathering with fellow kings who have had parts of themselves removed from the board of life—and now for us all to see those parts restored and back on the board—this time being "kinged" has been an honor! Thank you to all the team and financial sponsors who make this possible. - Peter, from Virginia

This was one of the best experiences I have had! Unbelievable growth and brotherhood. - Clyde, from Kansas

There are few times in life when you sense that things won’t be the same after these days. The King Me Advance was one of those rare experiences. - Jeff, from Colorado

I feel that if I didn’t come, I would’ve lost out on the experience and love I received from being here. I’m at peace now. I even had the chance to fully forgive my father, which I couldn’t do for years. This Advance helped me find forgiveness. Thank you for the scholarship. Without it I never could have made it to this. - P.J., from Michigan

I’ve got a new awareness of God’s love for me and for his image bearers. I don’t think I realized how personal and intimate his love can be. - Spencer, from California

I came in as a son who felt like he needed to earn love, as if I didn’t deserve it, but I am walking away knowing and believing I am a desired child of God and capable lover and leader of my family. - Joseph, from Mississippi

It is very relieving to put down my false self, to put the “poser” away. I can take this into my marriage and be the leader God wants me to be. - Tod, from Oregon

I pray these stories encourage your heart as much as they do ours. It was and always is amazing to see Jesus come, move, work, and love on the men that chose to getaway with him.

Thank you for joining us in this mission with your prayers and for being such an important part of this team. We believe that weekends like King Me Advance echoe in the lives of men and can be a significant contribution to the legacy of a man's life for generations. We are honored to share that with you.
