The ICC Men’s Conference was held on June 17th, 2025, comprising Mass at 6 PM, a meal, and a presentation by Greg Raymond, followed by Adoration & Benediction in the Church.
The event was attended by over 60 men, who found it inspiring, and Greg’s presentation very uplifting.
Mr. Raymond’s Closing Prayer is presented below.

“SOLDIER FOR JESUS CHRIST”

I am a soldier for Jesus Christ. The die has been cast. The decision has been made. I have stepped over the line of fear and doubt. I won’t look back, let up, slow down, back away, be still, silent or afraid.  

My past is redeemed, my present makes sense and my future is secure.  I’m finished and done with low living, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, cheap giving and dwarfed goals.

I no longer need pre-eminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits or popularity. I don’t have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded or rewarded. I now live by faith, am fed by the Eucharist, love with patience, live by prayer and endure with His power because His word is in me.  

My eyes are focused, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few, my Guide is reliable and my mission is clear so why FEAR? I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded, or delayed.  I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice or suffering, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or mean er in the maze of mediocrity.

I won’t give up, shut up, let up or slow up until I have stayed up,  stored up, prayed up, paid up and spoken up for the cause of Jesus  Christ! YES!!! I am a SOLDIER FOR JESUS CHRIST! I must go ‘till He comes, give ’till I drop, preach ’till all know and work ’till He stops me. And when He comes for His own, He will have no problem recognizing me. My heart is for Him! I will not waver, because I’m a SOLDIER FOR JESUS CHRIST!!!

AMEN! AMEN!
