Serving the West Coast for The Master's Men Ministry is Ed Garrett. Feeling the deep calling to empress upon the need for strong marriages and to establish noble men for Christ, Ed Garrett sees this journey as a cry for help. Men are in need in our culture of discovering the true foundations of what God has called them to be as a man, husband, and father. Sharing his own story, Ed helps men travel their spiritual roads through relationships and connections. And from the marriage said, the calling is based on the need to stop the divorce cycle our society is in and to bring Christ to the center of all marriages.
Ed now spends a majority of his ministry time mentoring men and couples towards spiritual growth. As a lay counselor Ed welcomes this part of his calling and prays that more opportunities arise. If you are interested in speaking with Ed about mentoring, please contact him.
A snippet of Ed's background: Ed Garrett has been blessed to be used by God in many coaching arenas. He has spent stints coaching women's volleyball at Point Loma Nazarene University (CA), The University of North Florida, Colorado Christian University, Montreat College (NC), and San Diego Christian College.

In 1996 Ed was promoted to the first ever Team Manager for the newly formed Beach Volleyball Teams, which took the sports first Gold and Silver medals for Men's Beach Volleyball at the Atlanta Summer Olympics. But Ed's sports world does stretch outside volleyball. For 2000-2002 Ed joined the Colorado Rockies Baseball staff, serve in guest relations and operations. Growing up always wanting to be a professional baseball player, working for the Rockies on the diamond fulfilled a childhood dream.
Ed is currently serving as the Regional Director for Master's Men ministries, serving both Arizona and Southern California. Ed is happily married to his best friend Mandy. They have four kids: Maddie, Eddie, Mackenzie, and Easton. They reside in Tucson, AZ.

Master's Men West Coast, in sponsorship with Chick-fil-A of Tucson, will be working together to support a Tucson Chapter of All Pro Dads. This a great opportunity to get dads more involved in their kids lives. Check out the All Pro dads web site to find time and information about our Tucson Chapter.
Ever have your kids just want to spend time with you? Ever have them make you breakfast just becasue? The way our kids show us that they love us is very similar to the way God shows us. To a child it is the simple things that they do that show us their love. They don't need to buy toys or fancy items to show us that they care. So the next time your kids show their love in a simple way, take the time to appreciate it and share it with them.
God has a plan for your life and He wants to start right now! I challenege you to watch this and to see what He can do to change your life as a man.
