The YBL Birmingham Strategy
Win
Our first goal is to win businessmen to Christ. We aim to show non-Christian men the value of a personal relationship with their creator in a non-threatening and attractive way. Our main outreach activities include semi-annual banquets and a strongly evangelistic 4-week Investigative Study. The Concentrating on the Majors study guides individuals in starting a relationship with Christ and fosters a daily walk with Him.
Equip
Our equipping strategies involve foundational faith and business studies, including our First Conversations Study and Concentrating on the Majors study. From there we build men through ongoing discipleship group studies in God's Word and through mentoring opportunities, where men learn wisdom and discipline. Men who persevere in this equipping process will be prepared to lead in their families, churches and businesses.
Send
Sending businessmen into the community is our goal. As men grow spiritually, they impact marriages, benefit children, influence businesses, benefit organizations and other cities. YBL members will become leaders in their churches and disciples of Jesus who are equipped to make disciples.
