Onward Christian Soldiers - To the National Wildlife Turkey Federation, Over 20,000 Copies of Lord of the Spring Given out

On February 18th through the 21st. a team of men from Colonial and our brothers in Christ from Heart of a Sportsman went to Nashville to man the booth at the National Wildlife Turkey Federation.

As told by Ed Strickland:

What an awesome time we had and all but a few of the 20,000 Lord Of The Spring DVD's are in the hands of about half of the 40,000 in attendance.

All of us were just blown away at the event and all that it God was doing through our team as well as the other teams that joined us in this mission.
We were sowing those seeds and we are confident that God will give the increase.

After arriving Thursday afternoon we got settled in and then had a team meeting. We shared our thoughts on the project, got to know one another Jason Cruise from Outdoor Ministry Network encouraged the men with a awesome message.
We arrived Friday morning and at nine AM the gate was opened and it was non-stop all three days.

There is no way to know the fruit God will produce from this project, but folks have already e-mailed the Lord Of The Spring web-site saying that they had been touched by the content and it had an impact on their life. Praise God!

We had our focus on those in attendance as our mission, but like so many times we can get narrow minded forget that God's ways are not our ways, and we had not given the attention to the thousands of vendors present. But The Lord reminded us a we had several opportunities to minister to several around us that sought a couple of our group out for council. A couple of the team spent several hours with one gentleman who needed help and prayed with him in the parking lot of the hotel.

Again, all I can say is WOW! What an awesome God we serve.
