“By building KingsMen I have gotten to know myself better and it’s my awakening of masculinity. I dare to stand up for myself more, but also be more vulnerable and take responsibility in a more focused way. My family has seen this happen and wholeheartedly applaud every KingsMen activity as I have become more of a father and a man.”

His wife and he are members of the Chemin Neuf community. Since 2014, KingsMen has been an important part of their life.

Willem Bakermans (The Netherlands) is married and father of three adult children. He no longer has to work to support his family. This enabled him to join the brothers of St. John in managing the monastery in The Hague and organise boys’ camps. He’s also active with the Ark community in Gouda and on various boards.

“KingsMen is the best thing I’ve seen in recent years. The uncomplicated sharing of what you struggle with to totally unknown men gave me more self-insight.

For example, KingsMen taught me to deal with my pain and not get stuck in “being what happened to me” and to take new steps again.”

I also experienced the healing closeness of God during my Quest, so that I am equipped with new courage and a calm heart.”

“Kingsmen complements my engagement within the Chemin-Neuf Community and gives the support, the intellectual and physical challenge to become a ‘better’ husband, father and friend. Through the service of Christ and company of brothers. All of this in such beautiful mountains!”

Marcel Lemmens is married and father of five daughters and a son. They live in the neighbourhood of Breda, The Netherlands. In daily live he is managing director and shareholder of a company in development and exploitation of real estate. K

“Joining with other men in a spiritual setting brought me closer to God. I realized that vulnerability was not weakness! It was wonderful to experience  how being more vulnerable is necessary for real strength. It’s not easy to live like it every day, but that is what I want to be as a man, as a father, as a husband.”
