Hunting, Fishing, and the Gospel at Sportsman’s Seminar

By May 15, 2023No Comments

First Baptist Church, Guthrie Center, Iowa, held a Sportsman’s Seminar at its fairgrounds.

On a Saturday evening, participants ages eight and older learned tips on coyote hunting and walleye fishing from evangelist Ross Crowe. Ross (in photo above) grew up in the wilderness of northern Minnesota and holds a US Coast Guard Master Captain license. Door prizes and a catered dinner were also part of the evening.

The event was a great opportunity for attendees to hone their hunting and fishing skills, Pastor Josh Overfors says. But more importantly, the seminar closed with a clear gospel presentation. A number of people, Josh says, accepted Christ as their Savior, and the church is following up with them.

Josh thanks the many members of First Baptist who helped host the seminar. An event like that “takes a whole church effort,” he says.
