2018 Men’s Mardi Gras Outreach
“Put the Gospel in the hands of faithful men, that they may do likewise.”
2 Timothy 2:2
It’s a challenging day in our nation & world. A fever pitch of concerns at every hand. Anger, fear, anxiety, frustration and division.
In such a time as this, God is calling. God is leading His people to step into the fray, to live and speak the love and healing of Jesus to others.
God challenges us to Cross the Great Divide. We’re regular men, with regular lives, jobs and families, who serve an uncommon God. We believe our God wants to use us to make a difference in our
day. And you’re invited.

New for 2018!
Our 2018 Theme: Crossing the Great Divide.
Our challenging, week-long Message Series from Ephesians chapter 2—“Tearing down the dividing wall of hostility.” God has much to speak to us in our day about being reconciled with God, the people in our lives, and our world. May God move upon our hearts in powerful ways as He sends us on a healing and saving mission every day of our lives.

Aurora University: Daily Electives, Big Faith.
In addition to our daily theme, each man gets to select from a number of Electives for specialized personal growth. Choose from a variety of topic, including Powerful Marriage, Fearless Fathering, Work & Business Matters, Becoming a Prayer Warrior, Facing our Giants, Conquering Addictions and more. Meaningful workshops for every day takeaways.
New for 2018!
This year’s challenge: Bring Your Pastor.
The Aurora NGL experience is life-changing, and holds potential for influencing countless men in your church. Let’s all bring our pastor. The pastors of Camp Aurora are eager to meet and spend time with your pastor, helping him learn about the mission, vision & values of the NGL Network. Our goal is to help your pastor visualize what our week on the streets together can do for all the men in your church.
Big, glorious eats: Holy Smokers BBQ.
We are blessed to have the salty dogs of Holy Smokers BBQ preparing two meals per day for our camp. These chefs will amaze you with their great hearts, great food and great service. Three cheers.
