Legacy Minded Men has given me a platform to share what God has done in my life and to encourage and empower others to take a hold of Jesus and the destiny He has for them. More personally, Legacy Minded Men has given me a community of men that I can walk with though this life. They are there for accountability, prayer, and deep authentic friendship. Legacy Minded Men has been a life changing ministry for me.

Joe, You know my purpose and heart in seeking workers for the harvest, and in that the pastors/church that are seeking the same… for the harvest IS plentiful. First, you have speakers that can speak and relate to the men in the pews. Secondly you use different churches and I can only assume this is a never-ending search, but in that you also draw different men, in different venues, in seeking Him to spiritually motivate and equip the men no matter where they may be in their walk. All to the glory of God. One can't ask for much more than that. From my perspective I couldn't ask for more or a better partner in doing His Kingdom work! Thanks for All you do.

Thank you brother Joe Pellegrino, thank you for standing with us throughout this year ever since we came to Legacy Minded Men. We are so grateful and do appreciate all your leadership excellence in our lives. We do pray for you.

Through life’s journey, there are many people with whom we come in contact with. Some of them bring good things to us, and may even promote positive changes in the perspectives that we have. When I came to my first Legacy Minded Men meeting I soon realized that this is a place of spiritual growth and where I would be nourished with God’s living word and the love shared with other brothers in Christ. This is not just a ministry but a safe haven where I can show up as I am and receive new strengths and be refreshed by the Lord. I have been truly ministered with every meeting that I go to. One of the characteristics of life in this region is that most things are fast paced. It is easy for many of us men who juggle between different responsibilities to feel burned out. I have been there several times. It is as if one cannot really enjoy the simplicities of life. When a person reaches this point, there is great danger to fall into unhealthy activities, such as addictions. Even for Christian believers, there may be a spiritual burnout is the person is not well fed and refreshed. There have been times in which I have felt very lonely in the midst of my hectic life. It is true that God is always with us, but many times there is this need to find people that can relate or give you a word of encouragement. I am so thankful that LMM is meeting that need in my life, and I praise the Lord for this ministry. In the society that we live in, we need many more ministries like Legacy Minded Men. The reason I say this is because most of the social problems that we face today are the result of a lack of godly men who would step up to the plate and be a good example to the younger generation. LMM is there to build up such men, and I am very proud to be one of them. This is the time for the church to rise up and be the reflection of Christ. It is time for Christian men to take the lead in the communities and have a character of a servant of others, bringing glory and honor to God’s name. I thank my brother Joe Pellegrino for being that vessel that God has used to start off LMM. He is a man after God’s own heart, and I feel so privileged for calling him my brother and my friend. Joe has been a true and transparent role model for us, and my prayer is that the Lord would continue to use him and strengthen him to cause a greater impact on this generation in the Greater New York City area.

Brother Joe, you are the best. You left an amazing imprint on their lives, praise the Lord!!!!!

Joe, if you didn't already know, Legacy Minded Men has been a blessing to me personally and to the men of our church it has been the spark we needed!! I would highly recommend this ministry and its diverse attributes to any church in America!! God bless LMM.

LMM serves me and many as a 'Balm of Gilead.'

I began attending Legacy Minded Men (LMM) breakfasts right from the beginning back in 2007. My wife and I were still separated at the time so the meetings served as a wonderful source of fellowship and encouragement. Then on Good Friday 2009 I was asked to speak at the LMM sponsored Mayor's Prayer Breakfast in Wayne, NJ. Amazingly just two days before my wife and I were reunited and consequently we celebrated a family reunion at that prayer breakfast that my family will never forget. LMM has continued to serve as a source of hope and inspiration as I have now introduced my two son-in-laws to the LMM Man Conferences. With all the blessings there are still many challenges. The LMM prayer call every Monday and Thursday morning at 6:00 am has been my hotline to heaven as family struggles continue particularly with my recently divorced daughter who birthed our two grandchildren. The LMM prayer warriors have been there for the past two years listening to my heart cry and praying with me for my precious family. I continue to thank God for LMM and avail myself of all the wonderful resources which includes for me the LMM breakfasts, LMM Man Conferences, and the LMM prayer calls!

I think the biggest impact LMM has had for me is that it's a local men's ministry that allows me to refer men to when they are looking for somewhere to receive some ongoing discipling tools. With all their different events and training it really makes it easy for me to refer men to. I have been in men's ministry for almost 13 years and I have discipled over 200 men personally and have help start over 25 different men's ministries in various churches nationally and internationally. it's very challenging to be there for all the men that are in need, I sincerely know that when I direct someone to LMM that they are hearing sound doctrine and that they will learn how to be a true man of God.

LMM has been not only an inspiration but an answer to prayer. To have a regional ministry where Men from all different churches and denominations can come and hear about what makes up a Godly Man... is priceless.

Leading men is the greatest struggle in the church today because the devil knows if you ever organized men you would have an unmovable and unstoppable force that is committed to success in everything it attends. Legacy Minded Men addresses that situation by giving men an opportunity to find purpose in life itself and to recognize the gifts God has given to them and then to release those gifts to the tasks that they have been called to do.
