Landmark men’s weekend on the Isle of Man

Honest conversations. Stronger bonds. Renewed vision.


On the Isle of Man, the first MPower ELIM Men’s Weekend did something simple and powerful: it gave men permission to speak freely. In a judgment-free space, stories came out, burdens were shared, and faith was strengthened as guys listened to one another and found real connection.

MPower ELIM, our national ministry supporting men, shaped the weekend around faith, authenticity and personal growth, while the local Elim team led by Peter Cannell served brilliantly to make it all happen.

George, the UK distributor of God’s Not Dead, joined the gathering, underscoring how faith and story can reach far beyond church walls. Feedback was strong, with several calling it a turning point. Men left encouraged, motivated, and part of something larger than themselves.

This is the beginning of renewed momentum for men on the island. The foundation is laid for future gatherings and wider outreach—spaces where men can keep talking, keep growing, and keep stepping forward together.
