2021-2022

Newsletter

Greetings, everyone! I would like to take a moment to share about all the adventures we had in 2021, spreading the good news about Jesus Christ across the country.

We traveled over 27,000 miles, sharing the Gospel in 28 different states. We handed out almost 200 “Heart of the Outdoors” edition Bibles (donated by Spiritual Outdoor Adventures with Jimmy Sites) at ten different Pro-Am archery shoots in the Archery Shooters Association (ASA) and International Bowhunting Organization (IBO). We worked with Kicking Bear Ministries at a kids camp. We did a few spiritual retreats, spoke at different churches and also shared the gospel on a couple of TV shows.

This was our third full year in the ministry with many ups and downs along the way. God brought us challenges such has vehicles breaking down, some events getting canceled due to COVID restrictions, and a lot of heartache losing loved ones in the archery community. None of that stopped us from sharing the gospel in any way we could. There are always many trails in life, but every trail results in a testimony. We have seen the Lord do some amazing things in 2021!!!

After three years in the ministry traveling the country, we’ve met and been able to help lead over 300 individuals to Christ. One young man that we led to Christ in our first year we baptized in the mountains of West Virginia, during an IBO shoot this past season. Our youngest, Jacob, was baptized as well.

In 2021 we also partnered up with Centershot Ministries, working with them at all the IBO Triple Crowns and World Championship. That was in addition to what we do with ASA and our Sunrise Services. Nick was blessed to perform two weddings. But also heartache as he did three funerals, saying goodbye to some very close friends.

This year we have already booked 87 days to be on the road at different events and are still looking to add more wherever the Lord leads. He has laid many different visions to grow the ministry and other avenues to share the gospel on top of what we are already doing but we will need the support to get there. God blessed us this past year with a brand new truck to help us get to all the events, as our old truck kept breaking down. We are still praying for the Lord’s provision of a new motorhome. It would help tremendously, eliminating the cost of hotels and being able to cook our meals on-site, saving a lot of money while we are on the road. As many of you know, the cost of everything is going up- gas, food, hotels- so our expenses for 2022 will be a lot higher than what they have been in the past few years. We would love for you to partner with us as we go where the Lord is calling us. We ask that you pray about different ways you may be able to help God’s Country Outdoor Ministries. If you can help financially with a one time or monthly donation, that would be greatly appreciated. If not financially, could you please keep us in your prayers as we hit the road?

You can donate by PayPal to godscountryoutdoorministries@gmail.com. If you use “friends and family” they wont take out any fees and we reciive100% of your donation. You can also make checks payable to GCOM and mail them to God’s Country Outdoor Ministries: 435 N Clinton Tr. Charlotte, MI 48813

Here are some things we could use prayer and support for:

• more doors to be opened to share the gospel

• to be 100% fully funded

• a new class A diesel pusher motorhome that will sleep 8

• staying healthy so we can make all of the events

Thank you for taking the time to read this. May the Lord bless all you do.

Sincerely,

Nick, Amanda, Averill, Dalton and Jacob Harp
