We had our final event of the 2025 season and it was successful.  At our Friday night meeting we were able to share the Gospel clearly and without shame.  We asked what it was like to hate God, to be an enemy of God.  If you are not saved, then you are an enemy of His.  Our goal this season was to share that Jesus died for YOU, so that you could be forgiven and receive eternal life.  You repent and believe in your heart and you will be saved.

A huge thank you to all of our volunteers that helped out.  By building, cleaning, setting up, serving food, praying for division and our members, cooking, shopping, painting, counting, checking, and tearing down.   These tournaments do not just happen and it is only possible with the help of MANY.  

Thank you to Pastor Scott Gorbett and Noonday Baptist Church.  They were gracious hosts all year and allowed us to use their facilities, always willing to help.

A true blessing was this season being able to collect just under $8,000 for the Ugandan churches that we were introduced to.  These churches were truly blessed and able to share the gospel in their country.  One day we look forward to spending eternity with our brothers and sisters from over the pond.

Secondary is the fishing in Fishers of Men. This season had a lot of good competition.  Live scope was huge and was evident with all top finishing teams.  If you do not learn to use the electronics, it is going to be hard to win.  It came down to about three teams fighting for the title of "Points Champions" as the started the May tournament.  When the scales were closed and all bags had been weighed, it was the team of French and Marshall who hoisted that title.  These two were at the top of the leader board each and every tournament this season after finishing just out of the lead last season.  Congratulations to these two men.

We will continue to pray for those fishermen and fisherwomen who are still unsaved and we pray that the Holy Spirit pursues them all without ceasing.

Thank you again for everyone's support and help. 

In Christ, Daniel
