Before 30-30 Ministries' volunteer Tony Smith was saved, he confesses that he developed a hatred for God after the passing of his mother. Looking back at his story, Tony now saw how God continued to work in his life, despite the hatred. In addition, Tony said he was a terrible husband and father and that life was "all about me." Tony's passion for sports is what put him on the church grounds where he later gave his life to Jesus. Since then, Tony says life has never been the same.

Even through dangerous careers in the military and law-enforcement, David Souderes did not fear death. However, his childhood memories of the Bible reminded him that one day he would stand guilty before God and have to give an account of his life. What an awesome testimony to kick-off Bowfishing Camp 2022. If your eternal security is not currently in Heaven, we ask that you consider giving your life to Jesus today. He says in John 14:6 that “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one come...

Bowfishing Camp 2021 was a joint partnership with our friends at Liberty Baptist Church in Carnesville, Georgia the weekend of April 16-18, 2021. Without their facility, staff and willingness to host four kids and their chaperones, this year’s Bowfishing Camp would not have taken place. The following podcast was recorded during the Camp, and we didn't have the full picture of just what God was doing. Prior to this recording, the Gospel had been shared three times in the youth building at Liberty...

Some deer hunters believe that if they could just live in the Midwest around the world's best collection of giant whitetails that life would be much better for them. The reality is that the very same problems they have now would likely follow. After a few months in their new lives, they'd likely discover new problems they never had. As Christians, we're promised eternal life in a perfect place with no problems called Heaven. We'll be there to worship, serve and reign with our Lord Jesus. It'll b...

We met Lea Shaw, 14 at the time, at our 30-30 Ministries' Deer Camp in Oglethorpe County. At that first Camp, she was a sponge, listening to the Gospel and hearing testimonies.

Two months later, at our 30-30 Ministries' Rabbit Camp with Crawfordville Baptist Church, Lea made the decision to start following Jesus, and her life was eternally changed. Since then, Lea has come back to several 30-30 Ministries Camps to share...
