This group is exclusive for the men of Open Doors. Our vision is to empower men to lead godly lives and become examples to their families, friends and acquaintances eventually winning many to Jesus. Meetings are held once a month after church service and sometimes as Breakfast Meetings on Saturday mornings. We love discussions on ‘men only’ issues.
