College Rd.\nWilmington\, NC 28412 DESCRIPTION:'What's the most courageous thing you've ever done?'
For years this has been Dennis Rainey’s favorite question to men. Wh
at he has found is\, many men don’t have an answer. Too many are confuse
d about what authentic\, courageous manhood looks like\, and they shrink b
ack when they ought to step up.
Men stuck between adolescence
and mature manhood who need someone to call them to step up.
Men who
need a bigger vision for what real manhood should look like.
Men wh
o have learned what it means to be a man\, but are unskilled at reaching d
own and calling the next generation of young men to step up.
On
Saturday\, August 4\, Dennis Rainey\, along with James MacDonald\, Robert
Lewis\, and Crawford Loritts\, will unpack what biblical manhood looks li
ke and what it means to be a godly\, courageous man in today’s world. Th
ey’ll help men understand their biblical roles and the responsibilities
they have to fulfill those roles. They’ll show men what it means to lead
at home\, at work\, and in the community. They’ll discuss why men need
the accountability of other men on the journey of manhood. And they’ll e
xplain why being passive is not an option.
Men\, you can do thi
s! Register for stepping up and answer the call to courageous manhood.
This is a national simulcast being broadcast at Lifepoint Church.
The cost is only $10 per person and includes pancake breakfast. This eve
nt will run 8am-1pm and is open to any man who can get to Lifepoint on Aug
ust 4.

'The Prophetic Encounter To Remember' is an experience that
has left many believers knowing that there is a GOD! Prophetess Christin
a Glenn Weeks has been gifted with a mantle of the prophetic noted at the
age of 6 when she spoke a word to a woman she just met with her dad while
getting groceries and with astoundment the woman told Prophetess 's Father
that there is no way she or anyone counld have known that but\, God.
After flowing years in the prophetic the spirit of the Lord assigned her t
o host her first 'Prophetic Encounter To Remember'. Awesome testimon
y after testimony continued to flow from that night for months into her mi
nistry with a cry from the city for her to do another one quickly. With
such a heavy conference minsitry schedule she was finally able to do her
second Prophetic Encounter two years latter in August 2010 and words ca
nnot describe the level of GOD those in attendace experienced. The p
ower of God also moved in a mighty way at the 3rd Annual Prophetic Encou
nter To Remember 2011. Many attendees who traveled near and far where al
ready in excitement for the next encounter experience.
The Last
couple of years Prophetess Glenn Weeks has hosted the Prophetic Encounter
To Remember in Greensboro North Carolina with much success. Many people
are ready to experience the next Prophetic Encounter To Remember event.
Prophetess had been in much prayer about where God wanted her to release
the next Prophetic Encounter To Remember. She is glad to announce that t
he 4th annual Prophetic Encounter To Remember is going to be held in Atl
anta Georgia. Prophetess Glenn Weeks made the official announcement at the
2011 Prophetic Encounter To Remember event that it would be held in Atlan
ta Georgia August 2012. Plan now to attend and experience this life chan
ging event at the Prophetic Encounter in 2012 in Atlanta Georgia.

Mary Chambers\,succumbed to cancer in 1996. In memory of he r strength and courage I chose to fuel the energy of her great legacy by c ommitting to give back to those who are struggling with this debilitating illness. Just as it has touched so many other households\, cancer has affe cted the lives of those in my family as well.
\nYears ago\, my cousi
n was diagnosed with cancer during her pregnancy. Being given the option o
f either aborting the baby to receive chemotherapy or going through the pr
egnancy with cancer\, she chose to have the child and receive treatment af
ter birth. Today\, she is able to witness the joy of a beautiful child whi
le simultaneously celebrating a cancer-free life. Stories like these and m
any that I have heard from countless others shed light upon the need for u
nification in fighting toward a cure and lightening the load of those seek
ing to receive the best of care during treatment.

WB Surf Camp announces the 2nd Ann ual Aloha Charity Surf Camp for children and adults affected by Alopecia a nd Cancer. This complimentary surf camp will be held on Augus t 11\, 2012 at Access #4 in Wrightsville Beach\, N.C. Advance registration is required. The purpose of the camp is to raise awareness\, bring commun ity and fellowship\, and help build confidence and self-esteem through the sport of surfing.
\nWrightsville Beach\, N.C.\, August 3\, 2012 –The 2nd Annual Aloha for Alopecia and Cancer Survivors Charity Surf Camp will take place on Aug ust 11\, 2012 in Wrightsville Beach\, N.C. WB Surf Camp organizes this uni que\, memorable\, and free event to honor individuals and families living with alopecia or battling cancer. We are excited to be working this year w ith CAP\, the Children’s Alopecia Project\, a nonprofit that was created to help any child who is living with hair loss due to all forms of alopec ia. Over 250 participants from around the U.S. are registered for this y ear’s event.
\nAlopecia Areata is an autoimmune condition that resul ts in hair loss on the scalp and can progress to complete hair loss throug hout the body. To date\, there is no cure for this condition and it affects over 5 million people alone in the United States. Although Alopecia Areata is not life threatening\, it is definitely life altering to the people and families affected.
\nThe special ch arity surf camp welcomes individuals with Alopecia Areata as well as those battling cancer. Patients of these conditions often have hair loss in com mon. Many people undergoing cancer treatment will lose their hair\, so not only do they have to fight for their lives but they also have to deal wit h the psychological and emotional trauma of losing their hair.
\nThe founder of WB Surf Camp\, Rick Civelli\, was diagnosed with Alopecia Areat a when he was 17 and has shaved his head most every day since. 'I lost the majority of my head hair in less than a week\, so I just sha ved my head. As a surfer\, the most important thing to me was getting into the ocean to surf. I want to share my passion of surfing and the amazing confidence building and healing powers of the ocean with others affected b y Alopecia and bring a smile to their face. If I was not a surfer\, I'm no t sure how I would have dealt with it'\, says Rick.
\nThe Aloha Charity Surf Camp
sessions were developed by WB Surf Camp to share the amazing art of surfi
ng with those who need to be touched by the healing powers of the ocean. These sessions also honor those who have had a positive impact
on our community\, including veterans\, active military\, and mothers.

DESCRIPTION:
Wrightsville Beach\, N.C. One of the world's 20 best surf to
wns (National Geographic\, 2012) will host Surf Gala 2012 and Surfers He
aling\, an international surf camp for children with autism\, Aug. 19-20.
Sunday\, Aug. 19\, Surf Gala 2012 will be hosted by widely a
cclaimed Port Land Grille. Owners Anne Steketee and husband Chef Shawn We
llersdick will prepare a magnificent multi-course dinner\, with an evenin
g of live music (Kyle Lindley)\, video clips\, and silent auction.
Diners will have the opportunity to meet\, greet and eat with Izzy
Paskowitz\, Surfers Healing founder\, and his ohana (family) of legendar
y Hawaiian surfers. Advance copies of Izzy's memoir 'Scratching the Hori
zon' will be signed and provided to each guest. All income from this spec
ial evening will be used to pay for the cost of the Surfers Healing surf
camp for children with autism at Wrightsville.
On Mo
nday\, Aug. 20\, 200 families from across the United States are visiting
Wrightsville Beach to witness the miracle of Surfers Healing\, an interna
tional surf camp for kids with autism.
This event takes place
at the popular Stone Street Public Beach Access located in the heart of
downtown Wrightsville from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Spectators are welcome t
o 'cheer' the children.
Surfers Healing was founded in Califo
rnia by professional surfer Israel 'Izzy' Paskowitz for his son\, Isaiah\
, who was diagnosed with autism at age 3. Because Izzy discovered the pos
itive impact surfing had on his son\, he shared this unique therapy with
other children diagnosed with autism.
Surfers Healing Camps
are now hosted in Hawaii\, California\, Mexico\, Puerto Rico and a few s
urf towns like Wrightsville Beach. These camps enrich the lives of people
living with autism by exposing them to the unique experience of surfing.
Members of the international surfing community travel with the event and
work one-on-one to coach children with autism to ride the waves.
