The first ever Raise The Bar Rally was held on August 29th,2011 in Springdale Arkansas. Men from Northwest Arkansas shared their stories to a capacity crowd at the Springdale Convention Center. Powerful, life changing testimonies were presented, as those in attendance were challenged to Raise The Bar in their daily walk as a Christian man. Songs of praise and worship from a local Northwest Arkansas band also highlighted the event. Lives were changed and impacted during the two hour program. We welcome your comments, and encourage you to share with us and our followers how God spoke to you through this event.
