...With the True Man Inside
The outdoors helps us get "in touch" with the real man inside. Putting on the camo... the shotgun in the gun case... you are a man and you know it. It feels good... it feels right. That's because God made us this way. Even if we can't get out and hunt and fish as much as we'd like, it still does a man good to identify with this part of his manhood, and to instill this in his children. The world is trying to confuse the roles of men and women. God created men to be men. Try taking a gun away from a boy and see what happens. He'll pick up a stick and pretend its a gun... take the stick and he'll use his finger. We are hunters at heart... warriors. Not only warriors to fight evil in the earthly realm, but even moreso to engage the enemy in the Spiritual realm. The enemy is trying to quench this warrior spirit. Don't try to fight this battle alone. Use the outdoors to connect...

Man to Man We will help you link up with other brothers in the Lord. We're building an army...
Volunteer. Then
recruit.
We need more workers... more soldiers for the Lord. Use the outdoors to bring men closer to the Creator. Take your neighbor or co-worker out fishing with you... invite his wife and family to go with yours... it's the perfect venue to build relationships... Start a men's group or ministry centered around the outdoors. We can equip you with the materials you will need to get it started.

Man and his Family The family is under attack. Take the offensive. Love your wife. Pour your life into your family. Men are to be the spiritual leaders of the home. Be the general of your little army...
Psalm 127: 1-5 1 Unless the LORD builds the house,
its builders labor in vain.
Unless the LORD watches over the city,
the watchmen stand guard in vain.
2 In vain you rise early
and stay up late,
toiling for food to eat-
for he grants sleep to those he loves.
3 Sons are a heritage from the LORD ,
children a reward from him.
4 Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
are sons born in one's youth.
5 Blessed is the man
whose quiver is full of them.
They will not be put to shame
when they contend with their enemies in the gate.

Man to God Is there any other time you feel closer to God than when you are witnessing His creation... that you feel more completely satisfied... like a real man? The outdoors gets to your heart... to your soul. God designed it that way... for His glory...
Romans 1:19-20 19since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse...

Man and the Brotherhood We will encourage you to support the brotherhood. As in warfare all branches of service come together in unity to meet the challenge, so we too must come together to fight this spiritual battle. We are here as a resource to link you up with Christian Outdoor Ministries, Manufacturers, Lodges, Outfitters and personalities. Simply put, we are here to strengthen the body of Christ through the outdoors. Ephesians 6: 10-20 10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.
