Fishing For Life - New Men's Ministry

[Dave]

“Fishing for Life” is introducing a new men’s ministry, to men who love the Lord, and want to fellowship with other Christians in the metro area, called “Deep C’s”.

Fishing for Life would like to invite you and your friends to what we like to call “Deep C’s Night”. We are meeting for the second time later this month (Thursday Feb. 25th, 7-9 PM). We will be providing dinner, guest speaker (Steve Carney from outdoor news, speaking on local lake tactics for walleye), and some good old fashion Christian fellowship. We will be meeting at Gander Mountain Lodge in Blaine.

Please RSVP ( [email protected] ) as we will need to have a head count and feel free to bring a friend.

Dave,

Congrats on a good ministry idea. Hopefully it will be a hit. Wish I were closer and I'd be all over it.

I have been involved in a similar group up here in Brainerd for about 15 years now (you may have heard of FOCAS?). It's a nationwide club with local chapters. Many of our guys have been in for the long haul, and it really is good fellowship.

We meet indoors in the winter and share a meal and have speakers. In the summer, we have a short devotional at a public access, and then pair up and head for the water.

Let me know if I can help some time as a speaker.

And may The Good Lord bless your ministry

Tim,

For the record, I have nothing to do with setting up this ministry. I'm just participating and shining a light on it

A friend of mine is the Ministry's Director and I believe there are several members here that would enjoy some fellowship like this. I'll pass your offer onto them, too.

Shine Bright!

[Dave]

Well, there was about 30 men at this 2nd "Deep C" meeting and I liked what I saw. Actually, the GM Lodge was a bit on the tight side and the following monthly meetings may be moved to a church in Ham Lake; so there's more room for seminars and demonstrations.

I'll pass along a few points from last night's meeting.

"Deep C" is a program ministry of Fishing For Life. The main mission is to serve youth, family and community through fishing and outdoor programs.

Some fellows there last night were actually working out the details to take about 70 disadvantaged youth out on a Monticello lake today so they can enjoy an ice fishing experience!

If you're interested in organizing a "home church" fishing and Bible study fellowship group, contact "Deep C" for help. If you don't have a "home church" and want to benefit from participating, they can help you with that, too.

There will be a summer fishing league, tournaments, fishing clinics, Fall weekend fishing retreat and opportunities to help Fishing For Life during its scheduled lake events as well.

I was impressed!

Tim,

Do you happen to know a Darrel (I failed to get his last name) from the Brainerd FOCAS group?

[Tim_Anderson]

I think so, but I can't remember his last name either! Because of my guide schedule, I only make it to about half of the meetings, so I don't know everybody.

[Dave]

Was just curious because Darrel was there and I didn't have a chance to talk with him, to ask if he knew you. Small world type of thing.

[Brad B]

Dave,

just curious what lake did they go to. I am from monticello and if they where to do this again in the area and I was free I would be willing to help out if my schedule would allow it.

Brad,

Sorry, I didn't catch the name of the lake.

does it matter what religion you are?

[Dave]

Sorry, didn't see this early. No, it doesn't.
