Recently I have had several guys come up to me and ask for help. That is a miracle. It so often does not happen. Most of us go in on ourselves whenever we feel threatened, or we feel out of control. But this is also the very reason why we do men’s ministry. None of […]
So here at CVM we have been fully focussed on reaching our mates with the Gospel for a very long time. We have always been supporters of encouraging men into men’s groups, and we are constantly looking for creative ways to resource and equip you to share your life and your faith with your mates. […]
In typical journalistic alliteration, these three D’s in a newspaper headline a few years ago caught my attention. The article was about elections and this headline described the current mood of voters. The only thing which seemed to unify people was a sense of total confusion. However, my mind flicked in an instant to another […]
Welcome back and to the last in my top 3 men’s event list. Number 3: PIE & CHIPS Now. recently, Beechy and I went on a truck tour. We try and get around the country a few times a year to meet the men’s groups, area coordinators, and any guys who stand with CVM. This […]

CARS & BIKES I was having a meeting with a bloke the other day at Salisbury Cathedral, in his dog collar and black suit we chatted and talked faith but interestingly, we talked about motorbikes first!

One of the best things about being part of the team at CVM is being part of a ministry which is not ashamed to keep Gospel proclamation front and centre of our cause. We live in a world that is literally falling apart at its seams. We have been very used to using terms like […]
Recently the men’s group that I am part of ran an event called MOB (doesn’t stand for anything, just a MOB of men!), and I think it has great potential to help us link up with other men’s groups, churches and become something of a catalyst to encourage men to get together. MOB is based […]
I serve on the board of Trustees for a charity that works with the RN (no names no pack drills). A recent trustee board meeting was held in a Royal Naval establishment and we were accommodated in the wardroom (officers accommodation), again no names here to protect the innocent. We arrived on the Sunday for […]
As we strive to reverse climate change and save our planet, tree planting’s become a big thing. If you are a follower of gardening programmes, you may have picked up a tip when planting a new tree to provide a stake fixed at an angle pointing in the direction of the prevailing wind, but that […]
