Most businessmen in Toledo are busy building careers, companies, and reputations. At the same time, many are quietly battling isolation, spiritual drift, or wondering if there is something more their life and work were meant for.

Toledo is filled with strong and godly men. But too many are carrying the weight alone. They are not creating eternal impact with the 90,000 hours they will invest in their work over a lifetime.

Here is the reality: over 90% of men in Toledo will show up to work this week. Far fewer will walk into a church. What if the workplace became one of the greatest mission fields in our city? What if God is preparing to unite men across Toledo around something bigger than themselves?

CBMC, originally founded in 1930, exists to reach, empower, and deploy men to live out their faith where they work and multiply their impact for Christ. CBMC has founding roots in Toledo, and organized and presented the Northwest Ohio Prayer Breakfast through the mid 2000s.

Would you be interested in exploring a re-launch of CBMC in the Toledo, Ohio area? If so, please join us for a Vision Casting Lunch at noon on Friday, September 25th, at The Back Forty, 5215 Monroe St., Toledo.

Please confirm your reservation and attendance at the Vision Casting Lunch (complimentary) on Friday, September 25th, by Friday, September 18th, so we can save you a seat with plenty of BBQ. Contact Rick Smith by phone, text, or email at 419-377-4829 or [email protected].
