Anyone who’s been involved with the development of FRATERNUS is probably laughing when I say its simple.  After all isn’t there ranks, virtue marks, handbooks, trips, agendas, etc, etc, ad nauseum?  Well, yes, but those are details that were hard to work out but the end program is rather simple.

Boys get together with virtuous men.  Virtuous men show boys how to be virtuous men.  Love begets action begets love begets action.  Games, movie clips, talking, challenges.  Guys do these things anyway right?  Is it really so complicated to have a group of men playing a game and watching "man movies" and then talking about reality (well the talking might not come as natural to all…).  FRATERNUS is very simple in it taps into something that’s deep in a man’s heart - the need for brotherhood, the hunger to know the Father, a yearning to be rid of the burden of sin.

FRATERNUS has made this huge assumption, that the hunger for God is deeply rooted in being human.  And, as one of those believers, I know that the reason we have seen this success is because we look to the Father for guidance, and we point the boys to Him.  They learn that a life in God is all they ever really wanted (although that love was sought in wrong places in the past).

Its simple.
