My Kingdom Community: David Centre - Wellington, NZ
I Attended the: Jamaica Seminar - 2007
My Experience:
I am new to Congress, and the Quarry Seminar was a severe wake up call on levels which are still being discovered. The possibilities are endless, and even though I am still striving to find the true meaning of 'man' in my life, the Quarry has motivated me to change both in the spiritual and the physical.

I Attended the: Antigua 2007
I left my country and came back home with a new understanding of manhood. It was a challenge that I gladly accepted, to learn, apply and demonstrate true manhood in my world. I will describe my experience as one where God came down and installed something like a permanent software in my spirit. More like an enhanced Holy Spirit. where up to today things keep being literally pointed out to me that I have to adjust, or change, or discard, or upgrade, share etc.
Also my experience was one where I was formally introduced to the world of brotherhood, companionship, and joint forces. I recognised the importance and the effect of my brothers in Christ. We ain't marching alone, and I'm ready to march for longer than the children of Israel if we have to until the finish. Thank God for the Quarry!!!
My Kingdom Community: Livingstones Agency I Attended the: South Africa 2007 My Experience: Wow, there a million things that became the word of the Lord to me, and even as of to date 14/01/08 there are still stuff that jump out everytime I listern to Quarry, but what I feel most important is to understand the demand that God has on me as a Man, that I am the entrance point to my wife, son and my world, and being the entrance point I have to make sure that at that level I get it right. I mean that thought itself does not fill my heart with pride but rather the response is Hey God I fear you more, because I see the demand on my life. The other powerfull reality is the connection that my process has with my brother and vice versa; that there is not a place called the 'Finish' without my brother standing next to me. Wow guys KEEP THIS WONDERFUL FAITH FOR GENERATIONS AND GENERATIONS. I AM DYING DAILY TO THE SELF PRESERVING FORCE THROUGH WHICH I AM BUILT, enscribed on my heart.
My Kingdom Community: Precision Centre I Attended the: Antigua 2007 My Experience: It was an interesting experience for me. Mostly God was showing me the path that I must now take and steps that I should make as my life. In clearly understanding the principles of the church and precisely living them to the fullest. Man is an instrument for God and to be fully effective we need to fully surrender every aspect of ourself and lives to become fully functional.
I Attended the: London Seminar - 2007
There are many things that I can talk about concerning my experience in the Quarry Seminar in London from the interaction with the corporate body of men to the surgical approach of God but I would say, for me, the overarching message that God implanted in my heart was a sober understanding of my posture before Him as the head of my family. When Marlon used the scripture in Job 40:7 to describe the position that we as men must have before Him, I felt as though God had drawn me into His office, closed the door and expounded on what it means to be a true man.
This process continued throughout the seminar and continues to this day. In my mind, I took note of issues of my closeness to Him, responsibility, not only of the physical well being of my family but of the spiritual as well, transparency and communication, deliberateness, stability, and compassion to name a few. Of those, I got the sense that God was especially putting His finger on the issue of compassion – to really hold the development of those I am responsible for in my heart and seek to build structures that would encourage and strengthen them.
I left the meeting with a clear understanding that change and adjustment was necessary but only possible with the closeness of God.
My Kingdom Community: Davidic Center, New Zealand
I Attended the: New Zealand Seminar 2007
The words I could muster up at that appointed time, was Wow! and Wo! Captivating God's design of Complex Manhood on one hand, then seeing inaccuracies within my own life that needs attention.
The understanding of "the talents" that manifested that Wo!, propelled me into action not immediately but actually strategically to my wife, I apologised to her for all the wrong doing throughout our married life.
There has been times when I have retreated back to my "Cave" so to speak but realising my headship position and overcoming the "Ogs" within my life, and understanding that going through our "Ogs" is part of the building blocks to produce Kingdom Men.
Together let us build within the context of the "Congress Way"
My Kingdom Community: Generation DavidI Attended the: Switzerland Seminar - 2007My Experience: My general feeling during this particular time was a sentiment to be back home... I just fell to be born again and having a great sens of how I am naked and stupid ... but this view gives a real sense of complexity - I realise all this, but in the same time now " it is possible to change" - to be weak and extremely strong in the same time. Now I am back in real life...out of the cocoon of the seminar... I continue to fight with disfunctions - sometime I win sometimes not, sometimes I see progress, sometimes not - but it is just a point of vie - if I see globally my movement, my pilgrimage I can see changes in my internal process and how I govern my life. Thank's to Alain Patrick who beleve in me and who is a great help in the process, and for the amazing patterns that you are; men of the Congress, men of the Quarry!! See u at the Border!
My Kingdom Community: Excellence Governing Centre
I Attended the: West African Seminar 2007
It was a moment of truth for me. I thought I knew what manhood is all about- I have been a man all my life- but I now know better.
My process of becomming a true man starts from the "border", my wife and my kingdom community is about to meet a man from above and corporatedly we will become His representatives within our world.
I saw clearly God's architecture for recreating -A REFORMATION- of not just man but His entire creation through his 'Quarried' man. we're blessed in the congress that God is paying close attention to the details of our lifes in This Sacred Season. I feel empowered!
from this perspective life has an enhance purpose than merely existing. I'm absolutely committed to the processess that would cause HIM to emerge deep within my flesh.
My Kingdom Community: Eagle's Rock Ministries I Attended the: Belize Seminar 2007 My Experience: It was certainly a defining moment, I felt as if I was chisled and hammered upon but yet so very much empowered to be a portal to my world to enact God's divine architecture, I can now clearly see what it means/ what is takes to be a Complex Man.
My Kingdom Community: Elijah CentreI Attended the: Antigua 2007
Throughout the conference I could not help but feel a deep sense of love and regard for my brothers. From my good friends to the complete strangers there was a very real connection.
While we sang "The Source" I got flashes of "The 300" and I could see all of us Spartans preparing to head into battle and I was willing to die for my brother. I NEVER heard that song like that before. We are truly connected and in this battle together.
There was also a very strong sense of God and his 'Godness'. I KNEW in a whole new way that God is real and while He's loving and comforting and all that wonderful stuff, he is deadly serious.
Puting all these things together it is clear that God is doing something. Let's prepare to fight!!!
My Kingdom Community: Zoe Ministries World Outreach Center I Attended the: Belize Seminar 2007 My Experience: It was a time of breaking down, rebuilding and extreme reconfiguration. My concept of manhood has been expanded and enlarged. I cannot say however that it was an enjoyable experience. Sacrifice and dying to self are not feel good experiences. But I see now that it is not for my sake. So the process continues by the grace of God and in the company of my brothers. May your heart become the possesion of your world!
My Kingdom Community: Davidic Centre, Wellington I Attended the: New Zealand Seminar 2007 My Experience:
The Quarry for me was an experience beyond my expectation,it was a really defining moment where my thinking pattern had to really change. I have lived long enough to realize that my former perception of what men is suppose to be is now no longer valid, I have come to the conclusion that the only way to obtain the truth is God's way. Quarry was indeed an overhaul of the past understanding of manhood, to the current demand of men being defined by God. God is reshaping men in His own image, therefore there is a need for all men to remove all the 'ogs' that have shaped their character in the past.
It was a privilege to attend this re-designing and re-modeling of men. I have attended a few men's conference in the past, this Quarry exceeded my expectation. My life now has a purpose, I must build the people that are in my sphere. Quarry was also a painful process because it really addressed the issues which I have ignored for so many years. When God comes to address the issues in our lives, our only response must be' Yes God mold me' into the man you want me to be. There is now a greater demand on men to be an accurate representation of God in the world today.

My Kingdom Community: Reformation Centre, Nigeria I Attended the: West African Seminar 2007 My Experience: The Quarry is/was the nexus of total transformation. Where I touched the real issues that matters most to God.
My life indeed experienced a quantum leap at the end of it... I received more sight, more courage and a clear understanding of a latent God nature within me. The Quarry opened me to new standards for living-living at the Border.
Just as we have come to know and experience that blessed are the dead, for in it God takes delight!
My Kingdom Community: Reformation Centre, Lagos
The serminar indeed was a gathering that gave answers to lots of questions that where poping up, and it rekindled my dwindling ethusiaim. My view of manhood is being redifined; my understanding of what order of life that is required of me is being shaped; I am continually coming out of my cave; I am learning to do away with some oximorons I have discovered words like easy and hard though not smooth but i know its achievable.
My Kingdom Community: Advance Breakthrough Centre; Citiconnect; Davidic Centre
The Quarry seminar has total change my marriage life to another new discovered level after the Quarry. I have developed to understand my wife better than before and by this has made me respond to her need more accurately.
I no longer desire to live in a cave mentality but desire to live with her in the open field and understand her better. Our desire to journey together as one is awesome as this has caused our children to respond accurately towards us as parents.
I have now understood that being quiet (Fijians culturally are quiet people) is a violation of principle as this reveals the nature of the heart. So I desire to converse and dialogue as this shows the nature of my heart posture whether it’s right or wrong. By wrong heart posture gives me the opportunity to deal with those highlighted issues and become a better man in the mind of God.

I Attended the: Trinidad 2007
The Quarry seminar was eye-opening and empowering to say the least. I definitely captured a stronger sense of the need to live at the Border. One of the things that stood out was how that the most intimate place in God is the place of greatest self-denial. Every time we go before God and live in a manner pleasing to Him we are denying self, burning flesh, drawing wisdom and grace to shatter the darkness that attempts to shut down our world and us, as well.
I found myself asking God to give me sight of the next level and the wisdom and grace to move to that next place in Him. Of course, all this alongside my brother who’s faith spurs me on, and whose processes are mine as well. I truly am grateful for this manhood development resource especially at this point in my life. I see every step forward in my journey to becoming more like Christ, as a step closer to more accurate manhood expression. Every movement to greater self-denial implies greater safety for my world and what it will evolve to become, that is, wife, family and anything else God chooses to place under my covering….We are simply required to DIE and keep on dying - for it is when we declare our incompetence that God, our Father, supplies the necessary strength to fight our battles.
My Kingdom Community: Encounter Life, Wellington
I was there for just a minute, 'but what was spoken in that minute brought realization that one must die a good death and be reborn a better man, a better father to lead by example.
To be a better husband to walk side by side with the woman God gave me. All this comes about by rubbing shoulders with men who have the same desire in their hearts to be made in the same image of God
My Kingdom Community: Exalting Jesus Christ Ministry
I Attended the: Belize Seminar 2007
This was a heart warming seminar. I was very touched to see men of all walks of life come together in one place and take in knowledge. All through the seminar you could feel the presence of God.
The Quarry has given us a template for manhood against which we can measure our individual status as a man, husband, father, community member, leader etc. It has helped me locate myself in God's world (both in the natural and the spiritual realm) and provides a structured pathway and practical work process into which I can invest my life.
The realization of my accuracy and success having generational impact creates a new resolve to make certain that I remain engaged to the finish and that I leave a foundational legacy created through my battle in this time for my children and the generations that follow them to walk in.
I am also struck by the issue of our personal accuracy and success having broader impact into the world into which we have been sent in this generation. Our success can be a redemptive catalyst and example for the people and world that God has placed round about us.
The Quarry has clarified my role and strengthened my resolve.
My Kingdom Community: Encounter Life Sydney Australia I Attended the: New Zealand Seminar 2007 My Experience: An enriching experience that helped me identify the importance of true partnership in my marriage. Building a marriage around community will take submission and and only through God's love will it strengthen beginning with myself and God .
My Kingdom Community: Davidic Generation I Attended the: Switzerland Seminar - 2007 My Experience: It is clear that God is making great efforts to speak to us in The Sacred Season, and this Quarry Seminar was yet another Landmark moment. I was confronted with what it means to have the calling of a man and the responsibilities that go along with this calling. I must leave my cave and learn how to correctly interface with God and my world at the Border.
To truly hear (i.e. listen and obey) is something that must take place daily, even in the smallest of details. My commitment level was challenged and I left the Seminar with a deep sense of sobriety and confidence that we CAN do what God requires of us. He does not lie and is definitely not stupid!
Brothers, let us continue to stand and build our respective Worlds together to the FINISH!

I Attended the: Switzerland Seminar - 2007
It's difficult to describe what happened in this Seminar with words: It was so simple & large in term of comprehension as well as it was so light and clear.
The impact in my life is like a time bomb: God continues to teach me this things every days.
The bigger change I see from the Quarry Seminar is a beginning of a new capacity to listen to Him and that he want to speak to us for our world.
My Kingdom Community: Praise Fellowship, Spearfish, SD, USA
I Attended the: Mid West USA Seminar 2007
God captured my full attention very early on by illustrating to me how I'd been abdicating responsibility as a husband, through the scriptural example of how Adam abdicated his responsibility with Eve. It's no wonder Marlon had a hard time reading us, as many of us were simply shell-shocked with the weight of the revelation, the newly exposed truth.
One of the many statements I found impactful was; "There's no such thing as a selfish man." Our directive was to "just die!". So I join the many other of my Kingdom brothers across the globe in this very process. The example of Stephen brought depth to the measure of sacrifice and hope for what was seen through the heavenly portal.
The personal transformation process continues within me as it does for all the othes I had the privilege of meeting at The Quarry.
I flew to The Quarry with 25 guys from our Kingdom community. I ended up flying back home along side 25 transformed giant-slaying men. I cannot begin to tell you how great an honor this was.

Hello Brothers !! It is good to read you and your comments.
For me, The seminar has been a great challenge and confrontation to come out of my cave. To break my inner barriers of egoism and start to open to my brothers and leaders and this means also to God. By doing this, I can read again what I heard during the quarry, and this brings me further in the process of becoming The man God has created us to be.
Today I can say, I need you brothers. And I am happy to walk shoulder to shoulder with you.
My Kingdom Community: Davidic Centre, Wellington New Zealand
This is rich intense dialogue. As I read each statement I am convicted and impacted by the deep "internal" processes that are taking place within your hearts. I'd like to take this moment to edify and exhort each of you, "in your journey" that as you become that "Man", which is within the mind of God. "A greater father to your children", "a better husband to your wife","a reliable source in the communities", trust worthy, dilligent, "sustainable in the midst of battle", "one who does not faulter" "one who puts others before himself". These are just some of the attributes which describe our posture as "Men".One who is willing to sacrifice "his intentions", "his ambition" his will, so that others may live.
It is important therefore to continually remind ourselves of that position, that as we as Men engage into (our) "death process", the lives of those that we are responsible for ( Wives, children, community), are sustained through our death. Therefore it is important that as we position ourselves to fight, may we never forget that it is not just for ourselves that we are fighting for, but as Marlon has quoted " It is so that others may live".

My Kingdom Community: Restoration Ministries I Attended the: Southern Africa (Zambia) 2007 My Experience: I have really come to a level of consciousness of my manhood that I previously did not have. I have realised the magnitude of the calling that I have as a man. It is a great challlenge yet attainable.Thats good to know!
My Kingdom Community: EC Nexus
The Quarry seminar for me was like walking from darkness with a torch light in my hand to walking in noonday sunlight. Everything surrounding my life was now clearly visible all at the same time and I could see all the faults (like life in High Definition).
I thought it was good to always listen to what my wife had to say, that I did well but now I realise that I must RESPOND.
Now I am making the effort to talk more about issuses in my personal life and respond to her issuses accurately.
I now have a clear definition of what it means to be your brother's keeper. We can only come to the finish TOGETHER. Antigua was a perfect picture.
Let us battle Warriors,time to stain our swords!

The Quarry was a life changing time for me. It has had such a great impact on my married life as well as in my work environment. I now have all the tools I need to make a dramatic impact for the Kingdom in my world. After all we are all responsible for eveything that happens in our worlds and cannot make any more excuses when things are out of line. It is awesome to see all the testimonials here on this website and to know all my brothers out there are standing with me .
My Kingdom Community: Precision Centre
I must say that up to now, utterances from the Quarry has and is still causing mental shifts in the way I see myself and govern my world. I can remember clearly during one of the sessions in Antigua when the visible presence of God was so strong that it was almost accurate to believe that anything you asked God to do once it align with his purpose it was done.
I remember as a camera man standing for so long and the great strain on my back was so hard to bear that at one time during the session I asked God to touch my back and immediately the pain left.

The urgency to die continuously is highlighted. Every choice we make directly affects the building no matter how insignificant it might be to natural eyes. We must take our positions for Kingdom advance.

Guys indulge me a bit further as I must mention the impact of The Quarry's "Perfect Storm" on the KC.
There are adoloscent sons of fathers in our Community, my 23 year old included, who were not able to attend the Seminar in Antigua because of school or jobs, that were powerfully impacted and transformed through, what I can only describe as an Eldad and Medad principle. I mean I showed some clips from the meeting and my some men who could not attend received massive download of the impartation it is amazing.
One son saw his father on the clip and broke down and sobbed, when asked later, what was he crying about he said, "I saw my father worshipping God in the Quarry." That young man went home that same Sunday and his father heard some 'noise' coming from his bedroom. When he rushed into the room he saw his son standing in front of a mirror making some massive declarations about his life and renouncing certain dysfunctionalities and proclaiming new positions and committments to God.
My son during the clips on separate occasions was standing with upraised hands and being 'transported in the raging winds' of the perfect storm, .."just as if I was there daddy." Today he his a changed young man.
But the most impactful encounter was to watch the women weeping during the clips and participating in the worship with depths of hunger for the God of the Quarry
Kingdom Community: Life Advance, New Plymouth I Attended the: New Zealand Seminar 2007 My Experience: To have the love of Christ shared by Marlon and his compatriots was so awesome. The impact of the message of sacrifice and serving with love, and in joy has been so transforming for me. The richness of Christs outreach and desire for us to be proactive in all things according to his purpose, is undoubtably a message for us as individuals, but also for the world.
My Kingdom Community: New Horizons, Coventry, UK
The Quarry Seminar weekend was a fantastic experience for me in my growth as a Man of the Quarry. God struck me in many areas in the seminar, 'Being close to the Border' ,God 'shaping us as men of the Quarry', and even some valuable feed back from the fathers and husbands as I am still a single man it was great to hear their feedback so that I could prepare for my future.
God really spoke to me that weekend and I left feeling really happy,confident and excited on what is to come on my path with God. Amen Brothers :) I AM THE YELLOW DOT!

I Attended the : Switzerland Seminar - 2007
The teaching was so powerful that it had charged the whole atmosphere of the seminar with God's overwhelming presence. The seminar has made me go back to the basics and ask myself: "who am I?". Yet, the teaching has provided answers. Thanks to God, I am not stuck posing questions that cannot be answered. God had answers in the seminar.
I found out that being a Man is not something that can be taken for granted. I found out that Man is not a biological phenomena, as I had always thought was the case. The Quarry seminar was a moment of introspection for me. It has planted a life-long blueprint on how I need to walk on this earth as a "man". I must honestly confess, realising the truth of my own male-centred paradigm and attitude and being confronted by an accurate perspective about the call to take up my right position as a man was really shocking.
Yet, the realization, in the aftermath of the shock, that God has started the Quarry seminar to guide us through the process that will enable us to distill manhood out of our maleness has been empowering. Indeed, the Seminar has destroyed the unwanted part of me, the maleness, and has planted the seed that would allow us grow into to a new manhood that God wants to get us evolved to. The key thing that I took in my heart and the one that has since been resonating is to just "do what the boss says to do&qu

Je rends grâce à Dieu pour l'appel; je peux témoigner sur la CONFRONTATION et à répondre à toute question de Dieu, OUI. En effet, de retour du séminaire, j'ai confronté la direction de ma banque à travers un article dans le journal le plus lu sur une injustice sur le client que je suis, et la direction a reconnu les faits dans son droit de réponse dans le même journal, m'a remercié pour ma franchise et le ton courtois employé et a décider de lever la mesure cotestée pour tous les clients sur tous son réseau dans le pays.
Aussi sur le SACIFICE consenti à ce voyage difficile, le Seigneur m'a gracié de 2 consultations (je suis dessinateur d'Architecture) où j'ai pu régler nos dettes, et venir en aide à notre communauté.
Ce séminaire des hommes du Congress a positivement changé ma vie, et je vois les signes, des visions que je partagerai avec vous plus tard.
Nous devons assurer notre position d'homme.
Dieu vous bénisse.

As a young man about to get married, I encountered a new outlook on what my role as a man in society and most importantly, at this time, marriage is. I have moved from ignorance, a state that always leads to confusion and fear of venturing into a known unknown, to an affirmed complex individual that has an eagerness to become.
Backed by a stronger more complex brotherwood of men, I know that I am stronger than myself. And this isn't an emotional state of mind or feeling, but a deep conviction of the corporate strenght of manhood. MAKE ME A MAN GOD!!!

Quarry formed my life for ever. It is comparable a person who goes to a Chiropractor so that he may put in place the bones. Several elements of my life which I didn't expect, have been shaken in a deep way, the hall atmosphere allowed all men of different Kingdom Communities in Switzerland to be "one" like never before.
The impact went on to impact the rest of the people in the respective Kingdom Communities who were not in attendance at the seminar. It's is a big privilege, to have a world like this, full of resources.
My Kingdom Community: TC, Fayetteville, Arizona
I Attended: Mid West USA Seminar 2007
The quarry was a powerful time that opened my eyes to areas of life that need restructuring. I felt a greater authorization to aggressively move into all areas of my life and destroy anything that would stand in the way of my becoming a Complex Man.
Coupled with greater authorization there was a tangible understanding that there is resource to move forward. Some of this resource included an increased sense of God's architecture and the nature of covenant with my brothers. We are in this together. We will finish this together. This sense of covenant must become real in my life.
Since the QuarrySeminar there has been rich, intense dialogue. As I have read each of my brothers statements I am convicted and impacted by the deep "internal" processes that are taking place within their hearts. I'd like to take this moment to edify and exhort each of you, "in your journey" that as you become that "Man", which is within the mind of God. "A greater father to your children", "a better husband to your wife","a reliable source in your communities", trust worthy, dilligent, "sustainable in the midst of battle", "one who does not faulter" "one who puts others before himself".
These are just some of the attributes which describe our posture as "Men". One who is willing to sacrifice "his intentions", "his ambition" his will, so that others may live. It is important therefore to continually remind ourselves of that position, that as we as Men engage into (our) "death process", the lives of those that we are responsible for (Wives, children, community), are sustained through our death. Therefore it is important that as we position ourselves to fight, may we never forget that it is not just for ourselves that we are fighting for, but as Marlon Jameson has quoted "It is so that others may live". &nb

The Quarry for me was life changing. I am now killing Og's by the day. The process has started for me to be a better MAN, a better father, a better husband and a better high priest.
My challenges are becoming victories. I seek to be more Christ like, daily. The Quarry was not a good feeling, seminar, but a life changing process.
For me, coming out of another religion, I always battled, with passivity. Now I know who God wants me to be. I am the man, that God wants me to be.
My Kingdom Community: Elijah Centre Embassy London
The issue of brotherhood was highlighted as the pinnacle point of the Quarry. My decisions, thoughts, future, life and destiny was never my own. My faults affects another brother/ his righteousness holds me when I'm down.
Together we effect the Quarry. The Quarry mirrors the image of our becoming. In the midst of hard labour, a sense of carrying...where sweat and the metal sounds is actually a whisper of this significance of brotherhood. A joy deep in my innermost part to behold!

I am reading what is happening in other Quarry Seminar's around the globe. It's impact is somewhat enforcing the one I was in Antigua and here in Belize, it brings me right back into the quarry seminars.

Very intensive and vibrant issues were dealt with, shaping men to the original intent of God and this also impacted on my personal life and a lot of issues pointed to a deep personl internal process that must begin to take place in us as men.

I Attended the: East Coast USA Seminar
One of the most significant things that was imparted to me when I went to the East Coast USA seminar was the reality of Complex Manhood. My understanding of Complex Manhood could be captured in this statement, 'Complex men require complex interface with God!! '. At the end of the day, it is our relationship with God - its authenticity, its depth, its profundity, its clarity, its growth, its complexity - that allows us:
- as men to function as gatekeepers/immigration officers to our world;
- to 'Be the Hurricane' (completely still at the core with a space totally reserved for the Lord, whilst absolutely functional in the turbulence of life);
- to be totally conscience in our walk;
- to wrestle with God and demand the blessing (His presence; His scar)
- to be priests
- to truly love our brothers
- to DIE COMPLETELY!!Our role as men is critical to the finish. It's almost like

I Attended the: Nairobi, Kenya 2007
The Quarry to me was a massively devastating encounter with God. I met a God who lives in Light and the darkness of phychological temperamental identity was stripped away,cultural definations,past experiences,postures of personal comfort like the cave all melted away before a resolute God who wants to see His image reflected in my life. Like Jacob,am still wrestling it out with God as I implement a few transactions He initiated at the Quarry. More so,my challenge is to destroy any character trait that is not part of the nature of Christ.
Before the Quarry, I had been praying to God that I may begin walking in the ancient pathways of the Partriarchs and true to His plans, I got more than I could handle. I realise that after Jacob succeded in wrestling with God, his walk was transformed; that was when His identity was elavated to patriarchal status. I am keen to complete this transaction with God alongside my brethren as our world mutates into its ancient ordained status before God,I BLESS THE GOD OF THE MAGNIFICIENT DAWN!!!!
Your Kingdom Community: Restoration I Attended the : Southern Africa (Zambia) 2007My Experience: Firstly, I greatly celebrate the Quarry. My celebration grows from the fact that, the process of creating a Congress man, who is a certified interface, began. Quarry seminar was indeed an opportunity for me to honestly confront myself and commence a transformational process. Quarry, is a wholesome adjustment creating in me a more accurate Hubby, Father, as well brother. I determine to live in the Quarry. Quarry is the tool that God is using to touch and adjust my world. This website is great, and what an opportunity to share my brothers and stand shoulder to shoulder with my brothers. "Life in the quarry is for life".
Your Kingdom Community: Kingdom Training CenterI Attended the : USA Midwest Seminar 2007My Experience: Hello Brothers! It was a powerful time to confront mentalities in my life, to see that I am called by God to give my life to develop the faith of others. As a man I am called to receive resources from Him and come back to release His life to others. It is also important to have a clear understanding of the people He has committed to my responsibility, who He has created them to be and how I am to form them into His image to fulfill their function in Him. It has been about 5 weeks since the seminar and I am seeing it is a process to develop constantly, to be consistent in the process of death to give life. We must press on to achieve that to which God has called us!!
My Kingdom Community: Legacy International I Attended the : Caribbean Seminar, Antigua 2007 My Experience: The Quarry was an experience of a lifetime that changed my whole perspective of Manhood and cause me to be more open to my family , my senior elder and my brothers . It also made me aware that I am in charge of my world, and should take full responsibility of the content in my world. From the very first night the Quarry started, it felt like angels were just surounding the whole atmosphare and somethings were assending and desendiing just like Jacob experience in Beth-el.
My Kingdom Community: Global Ministries I Attended the : South Africa 2007 My Experience: I can definitely say that I have the scars to show that I have been to the Quarry. The Quarry experience is merely the starting point towards truely becoming what God created me for. One of the things that really hit home for me with regards to Complex Manhood is our awesome example in Christ. We have to reach that FULL MEASURE of the STATURE of Christ. The most important thing for me was that I do not have any more excuses for not being who God created me for. Christ Has been through it all and I am a new Creation with new DNA and my past, or my parents, or circumstances can in no way, means or form define my existance. I only use my past experinces to map my proccess. But I am not defined by where I come from but rather by current revelation and where I am going. The other thing was that God speaks to man and man speaks to his world. The reality is that I am a freak of nature if I don't hear God. We were all created to hear God and interact with him. If I want to be a true MAN, I need to return to the reality where I am connected to the Source and consistently being a portal for God to speak into my world. One Last thing! I think another thing that stood out for me and I think the guys in our community that went to the Quarry..... was that if I stand before God one day, there can be no well done unless my brother is there with me...... I AM MY BROTHERS KEEPER. I thank God for all of my bothers..... not just the guys in my community but all of you!!!!!! KEEP IT REAL!

The sadest thing about the Quarry and basically my only complaint is that way too many men in the Kingdom are not exposed to this life changing intervention.
I have really been radically changed in my attitude the way I see my wife and my responsibility in our home.
I have been confronted by God like never before and life in the Quarry never ends.
Your Kingdom Community: WorldGateI Attended the : East Coast USA SeminarMy Experience: My experience at the Quarry Seminar, was like being baptised all over again in the processes of God. The way I was going about things was totally wrong and it has open my eyes to the proper things that God wants built in my life, and the life of my family, and also the life of my community and my world. It taught me how to listen to my wife more, without responding so quickly or getting mad at a sudden point. And it showed me how I was not spending the time with my 4 kids like I supposed to as a man of God; to guide them and lead them in the proper direction. And it also showed me how I have to live my life accurately for my brothers all over the world so they can live. P.S. BE THE HURRICANE

This was a powerful and thought provoking seminar which illuminated great flaws in my process as a kingdom man. The identification that I had was that of Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane where He laid His life before the Father and purposed to fulfill the will of the Father. Jesus is the pattern for the Governmental order that we must Identify and emulate in our lives as men.
It is after this seminar that it was important for me to lay my life before the Father and proclaim "Father not by my will but by Your will" I come before You as a sacrifice for my wife, my children and the community where You have placed me. Reveal to me the strategies and patterns that You have set for the advancement of my wife, my children and the community where I am placed.

The Quarry was a very explosive event for me. At first it crept up on me but then stopped me in my tracks and redefined my existence, role and responsibility as a man, husband, father and priest. Despite my familiarity with some of the material the Quarry package for me was a divine deposit from God that will change my life forever and will be one of those memories that becomes a milestone because of its profound impact.
Simple things like ‘a real man is a dead man’ took on very different tones for me and helped me understand how much more I need to die daily. It was not hard after that to see a laundry list of things that needed adjustment in my life especially when it comes to my wife and kids and their dependence on me as a priest going in to make a sacrifice.
There were a number of things that changed immediately on returning home. Firstly my 6 year old son had a prophetic image of me dying with a very bright orange dot on my face (the eye of the hurricane). He saw fleshing dripping from me yet my skeleton particularly my shoulder bones were growing (a real man is a dead man). A very disturbing experience for him that night as he had to be comforted.
God turning up in my family the way He did with my son forced me to explain to my children what the images in dream meant and more importantly how it related to my Quarry experience.

Going to this seminar, I had no idea what to expect. All I knew is that it was about developing complex manhood, and that was something I wanted and needed. What i recieved was something that will last me for my entire life.
The concepts, insights, teaching...they all pertained to ALL aspects of manhood in every season of a man. I'm a young man now, and I have spiritual issues that a young man has. I feel not only equipped to deal with those, but years from now, equipped to deal with issues of family, wife, children, business endeavors etc. Truly a timeless experience.

Immediately after the quarry seminar in DC, my prayer life changed. I feel now as though I can tangibly see my border, a place where I go and speak and hear from God face to face, on behalf of my World. I also recognize when approaching my border, I have to be completely dead. The affects of this switch in my prayer life sticks with me through out my day as well. It’s like a constant buzzing in my thought process that makes me remember that what I do affects others that are depending on me in my World (whether they know it or not).

What this encounter did for me was firstly clarify what the "Quarry Process" means. I saw in a clear way the value of participating in a process that though difficult at times adds value to my existence and by extension that of my family and my wider world.
I was particularly impacted by the icon of the hurricane which spoke of a life with a 'busy' outer realm but yet a core of tranquility where every proceeding word of God to me is received decoded and then acted upon. The image given of a dead man being kicked around, shoved, moved from place to place struck me. The response is always the same flat, even and unflinching no matter what is done to him.
My commitment is to present a 'dead man' to my sphere of influence, where my death is defined by accurate responses to the varied human experiences that will come my way. The Kingdom of God indeed does not make you religious it ennobles your life.

The seminar was timely and relevant, equipping me to be productive and to sustain the life around me, as intended by God. My life has been changed and accurately crafted to lead my family in the right direction, not based on my own false and limited understanding but according to divine patterns.

The seminar was a timely intervention from God as my wife and I just had our first baby, I was finishing up studies and working as the same time. I was struggling with my responsibilities and was faced with tough decisions on the next step for my family.
The seminar resulted in immediate adjustment in my position as a man and head of my household. I no longer struggled with tough decisions as I knew that I was man under authority and the only way I could lead my family was to be led by God and to do so could not let love for my wife, my rationale or distraction from circumstances interfere with my interactions with God.
I now engage God constantly in the quietness on spirit. The image of the hurricane aptly describes my new position. I now have force and impact to deal with situations that arise but my center is perfectly still and keenly attuned to the voice of God.

I think the seminar was excellent as it has re-shaped the way I view manhood.
