Embrace Men's Summit

The Embrace Men's Summit is an annual gathering for men who long to experience the love of God, grow as healthy disciples, and make disciples—one man at a time.

At this summit, men embrace one another as brothers in Christ and encourage each other to become Marvel Men.

The Summit offers a space for personal transformation, deep fellowship, and practical equipping to lead with faith, courage, and conviction.

It’s the only summit for men, by men, within the context of Chinese churches in North America.

Blessing Letter from Simon Chen

很遺憾今年無法親自參加2026男仕峰會,但願以此文獻上祝福:願聖靈大大充滿每一位弟兄,使峰會成為遇見神的地方。

「山前團契」這個名字一直吸引我。聖經中的「山」從不是地理名詞,而是呼召——把人從平地拉起,使目光離開塵土,走向神的同在。亞伯拉罕在摩利亞山獻上信靠;摩西在西乃山領受使命;以利亞在何烈山聽見微小的聲音。山,是人與神相遇的地方。

會幕其實是一座「橫向的山」:從外院到聖所,再到至聖所,是一段逐步親近神的旅程。神從不希望我們停留在山腳,而是邀請我們進入祂的同在。這正是山前團契的心:帶領男人進入神奇妙的愛,活出被揀選、聖潔、蒙愛的身份,成為成熟、有使命、能得勝、能鍛鍊、能領導與愛的男人。

山前團契是一群願意一起登山的弟兄。我們站在山前,不是為了感覺良好,而是為了上山遇見神;我們彼此同行,不甘於遠遠觀看,而是一步一步靠近祂,直到生命與祂相合。正如彼得、雅各、約翰在變像山上看見主的榮耀,又被差下山,用更新的生命跟隨祂。

真正的榮耀往往從黑暗與平凡開始——從天未亮的出發、從看不見盡頭的信心開始。攀登中必有陡坡,也必有同伴。彼此的等待、扶持與代禱,使受苦成為恩典。我曾在最艱難的坡上為女兒禱告,深深體會父親的心,也體會神在軟弱中顯出的能力。

直到登頂,當雲海鋪展、天地敞開,那一刻不是征服,而是被神的榮耀征服。所有的黑夜、陡坡與流淚,都變得珍貴。

山前團契,是一群仍在攀登的男人;在榮耀之前敬拜的男人;願意一生往山上走、往神裡面走的男人。

願2026男仕峰會成為你們的「榮耀之旅」——
在山前被呼召,在山上遇見神,在山下活出更新的生命。

願主親自帶領每一步。

2025 Summit Recap

From January 18 to January 21, 2025, 42 men—including 15 pastors and full-time ministers—gathered at Glen Lake Camp & Retreat Center for a powerful time of renewal and connection.

Over the course of four days, we:
  • Experienced deep transformation through worship, teaching, and personal reflection.
  • Built lasting friendships with fellow brothers in Christ.
  • Crafted actionable plans to develop disciples in our local churches and communities.

The impact of this summit will continue to bear fruit as these men bring their renewed passion and commitment back to their congregations and ministries.
