Men Vow to Pursue Honor and Nobility at Promise Keepers Conference
Nearly 7,800 Christian men from around Southern California and the Southwest United States attended the two-day Promise Keepers event in San Diego, CA, on October 2, 2004. It was the 15th of 18 conferences of the season.
The two-day conference promoted a sensational atmosphere in the San Diego Sports Arena. As the conference ended, the men promised that they would join the spiritual revolution called “Uprising” to revolutionize their roles in life the way God wanted them to do.
Honor, nobility and enlightenment were the major themes of the conference as it emphasized the importance of integrity, humility and courage, the qualities that God seeks in mankind.
