Nathanael's Favorite Hunter

Over the summer we reported that Kenaniah was able to meet a couple of his “heroes” (see here). This past weekend, Nathanael was able to meet one of his. As you might know, Nathanael is very much into the hunting/fishing/outdoor thing; he just loves to watch the outdoor channel as well. Last year he heard a guy named Jimmy Sites speak at an event and discovered that Jimmy is also the host of a regular hunting show called Spiritual Outdoor Adventures.

Well, this past weekend, Jimmy was back in our area as our local Baptist Association hosted an “Outdoorsman Event.” It was a day long bow shoot, which Mr. Sites too part in.
There was also a blacksmith demonstration, tomahawk throwing, and it all wrapped up with Jimmy speaking to the crowd of nearly 800 who came. He told some hunting stories but laced them with biblical truths for a pretty nice presentation. Over 100 response cards were collected with various needs on them.

Anyway, as we were there hosting one of the “comfort stations” along the bow shoot trail, Jimmy came by and visited and Nathanael was just thrilled.
Any of you hunter types ought to check out the SOA program and website. It’s pretty good stuff. And thanks to Jimmy Sites for a good day and for taking time to be so kind and generous to our young “fan.”
