Men's Overnight Bible Study
September 25–26, 2026 · Illinois District Camp, Wapella, IL
Proclaiming God's Might to Another Generation
Psalm 71:18“Now also when I am old and gray-headed, O God, do not forsake me, until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to everyone who is to come.”
We have used this theme over the years to provide a forum for the older generation to speak to the younger generations about whatever they think we need to hear. Come hear what they have to say.

About us
Since 2004
Who we are
We are a group of Christian friends from the Midwest who have planned and organized an annual weekend study for men since 2004. The goal of the weekend is to educate, equip and encourage men to fill their unique roles in the kingdom of Christ. Our desire is to help men better understand and more successfully carry out their commission as fathers, husbands, brothers, sons, teachers, preachers, elders and deacons within the environments of home, church and the world, using the inspired Word of God as our guide.
To every man
An invitation
If you are a man who is seeking this kind of strengthening, we invite you to attend this year's weekend study! Check back often for updates as we pass on the information for this year as lesson titles are planned and speakers are confirmed. If you know a man who needs encouragement, don't hesitate to contact us. We will do our very best to help you find the information from God's word that you need, as well as additional resources that help reinforce and apply God's principles for living a victorious life in Christ!
We'd love to hear from you
