The 2021 Inferno Men’s Conference saw record numbers in terms of sponsors, keynotes, impact and attendance with over 400 men getting fired up and encouraged. We are currently producing an overview and "hype" video summary of this transformative day! IMC22 will shine even brighter - Come Holy Spirit!

 

Inferno has opened wide the doors to ASCETICAL Discipline this year with: adding a 4th pillar to our annual Pledge (20+ of our leaders committed to prayer, friendship, evangelization & asceticism)! We also did a physical challenge leading up to the IMC and are doing an Exodus 90 Info Session and Kickoff Party (Jan 14th)! 

 

2021 saw 4 powerful Retreats: Bishop Sheridan helped us champion our first “St Joseph Half Day Retreat” that impacted 130+ men on March 20th (St. Joseph Feast Weekend) outdoors at Ponderosa Retreat Center. Our “Life in the Spirit” Retreat was for couples - we were able to provide free food and childcare (join us in 2022!). Our "Advisory Team" had an overnight retreat in February to craft the mission statement and vision. The Inferno "Upper Room" played soccer, cut down a massive tree, grilled, camped and had an epic bondfire to highlight our MANventure this year! We are planning a large overnight retreat in 2022 (TBD)!

 

We believe we have the greatest news of all time and we want to serve it up with excellence! Your generous support has allowed us to launch a top notch Website, Overview Video (see below), Improved Logo, Professional Marketing, Messaging and Awareness! There is more to come in this space as we have been furnishing some amazing content, investing in design and preparing to launch a brief video series in 2022! 

 

A big investment Inferno made in March of 2021 was for a part-time Executive Director who is passionate and dedicated to the mission. This investment has added fuel to the fire, accelerated the mission and paid dividends as Luke is able to dedicate significant professional hours intentionally towards the mission (that is steered by our experienced Board of Directors). This has also helped to guide the countless volunteer hours we've been blessed with from our leadership as well!

 

Because of the generous support of our Amazing Sponsors, a matching grant and skin in the game from donors, this mission has been growing, is sustainable and has giant expectations for 2022 and beyond! Thank YOU for joining us on this heroic mission!
