4Streams Partners began in 2009, primarily as a Retreat Ministry for Men.  It became apparent over time that regular follow-through with men was critical.
 
Our Saturday Band of Brothers (affectionately named BANDO) gathers each week in Alpharetta, GA.  We meet EVERY Saturday morning from 7:00am until 9:30am (unless it happens to be Christmas Day or unless the very unusual ice storm blows through!!). Each Saturday is a deeper dive into the Gospel of the Kingdom. It is a Life-bringing time. It's also amazingly fun. Men find their Voice and learn to hear God's Voice.
 
While there are about 200 men who come through the doors at some point during the year, each Saturday we have between 25 & 45 men come because they are hungry for More LIFE.
 
We drink a good bit of coffee. We usually show 2-5 film clips during our time to tie the Big Idea of the day back to Scripture and the Story of God. It is a safe place. Men often find their voice here by offering what is in their hearts during the session. It is very interactive but guided by a leader who facilitates the intellectual and spiritual traffic in the room. 
 
We pray. But this is not a prayer meeting. We display - and often read out loud - Scriptures from a particular chapter or under a Kingdom topic. But this is not a Bible study. This gathering is primarily about connection. Connection with God and connection with other Men. If you live close by, feel free to join us. We meet at:
 
BIS Benefits, Inc., 10745 Westside Way, Suite 250, Alpharetta Georgia 30009
 
Come and See!

Buz and his team have had a transformational impact on my life - I’m entering my 30’s with a Young marriage and two kids, and have found the 30’s ministry to be powerful and life giving. 4 Streams is a place where so much LIFE is being found.

I will never forget July 31, 2016, the first day I attended BANDO in Alpharetta, GA with 4 streams partners. You don't forget days that changed your life. Speaking of life, that is exactly what I found at 4 streams partners. This ministry, as an ally of John Eldredge's Wild at Heart ministry, was an incredible answer to prayer seeking more from God. Through Buz Mayo's incredible leadership, mentoring, discipling, I have found the exceedingly abundant life promised in John 10:10. Because I have been filled with more life through BANDO, our mid week BANDO Bible reading and prayer, Waking the Dead groups, Wild At Heart follow up groups, and weekend retreats including Advanced Restoration and Wild at Heart BASIC, I have been healed, set free, and given Kingdom authority to help other men who are broken find freedom and restoration through Jesus Christ. All glory to God. How rewarding it has been to bring other men to this place of living water and watch them be awakened to more life and transformed by Jesus.

John Eldredge told us from wild at heart basic at frontier ranch in May of 2016 about “the allies network”. I found fourstream partners on the Wild at Heart website in a few clicks and found a home! An avid reader of Waking the Dead, I was immediately attracted to the name since part 3 of WTD is named, “the four streams”. Whether it’s Jack Hayford, John Eldredge or Buz Mayo, the name is awesome. And the ministry is better. True. Authentic. Life giving. MORE LIFE and a TRANSFORMATIONAL relationship with Jesus Christ. Thank you Wild at Heart for the referral and thank you BUZ and all the men of Four Streams Partners!

I have been involved with Four Streams for about nine months and attended the retreat in the spring. The retreat, just like the weekly BANDO meetings, was not just more information- it was transformational. It is a genuine community of men, an environment I haven’t found in any church men’s group or ministry. The hard work of the leadership pays off in events that are well organized and orchestrated - and build up the men in Christ in a new way each time.

Buz and 4streams has built an environment where men can relate to men with no judgement, no comparison traps and the opportunity to be genuine and authentic. The programming is, at a minimum, helpful, but can be life-changing if you are up for it. I have been going to BANDO for only a couple months and have been reading through Waking the Dead on Thursday nights. My wife has told me that she has noticed a difference in me. There is much on the horizon.

For most of my 61 years I have lived only 2/3 of Jesus' imperative to us: that we love God, and love others as we love ourselves. I didn't see myself as lovable as those others, and thereby didn't know how to love me, even though God made me with great value to know and enjoy Him. I am now in my 10th year of assisting Buz Mayo and the 4 Streams team to conduct weekends for men that are powerful and deep. In the course of those years God has revealed to me that I do have something to offer and that I do have what it takes -- and I am resting in God's call to encourage other men and help them to 'get their hearts back.' As I connect with other men in the unique design of these weekends -- I myself am strengthened as we share each other's story -- and discover more of what God has to reveal about Himself as Father, Son and Spirit.

As I pulled into the heavily forested retreat center in the mountains of Northern Georgia I wasn’t sure what to expect. I’ve read many of John’s books and worked through his “Wild at Heart Field Manual” when I was deployed to Iraq a few years ago. As the weekend unfolded, I was lead deeper and deeper into my heart. The retreat was interactive, dynamic and engaging while strategically leading me to pull back and reveal my hidden wounds, passions and God’s truth about who I am and how He sees me. The opportunity to tell my story to a small group of men and to hear theirs, was a unique, divinely appointed experience that has impacted me for life. I highly recommend and encourage men to contact Four Streams Partners and clear your calendar to attend the next weekend retreat.
