God's Great Outdoors - Billy & Laura Parker

September 14, 2015
The topic on this week’s Trail To Adventure! is on Lyme Disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Gerry visits with Billy (Catfish) Parker and his wife Laura at the C’Meer Deer booth during the annual Archery Trade Assn. Show that was held in Indianapolis, Indiana in February of 2015. Both of these outdoor recreationalists share stories of the adventures and the battle that is encountered by a tiny insect at least eight months of the year. Ticks! Laura has been infected with both Lyme Disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, but early detection helped in her treatment being a quick ordeal. Billy however, went a number of years before his Lyme Disease was discovered causing extended and daily treatments that lasted many months. Their hope is as they tell this story; is it will help keep others from having to go through the same mess they experienced!

The topic on this week’s Trail To Adventure! is the annual Game Dinner at Skidway Lake Baptist Church in Prescott, Michigan. Gerry is joined by this outdoor outreach ministry team’s leader, Gary Moore who heads up the evangelistic event. After sharing about how he became involved in outdoor activities with his dad, Gary reflects on discovering the effectiveness of doing some form of sportsmen’s meal to bring in unsaved people to get them under the hearing of the Word. Skidway Baptist Church’s event has some very special dishes they present to the local community, all with the hopes of having a platform from which to share the Gospel. Gerry saw and tasted some things at this Michigan Game Dinner he’d not experienced before, but best of all, there were a number of life changing decisions made!

Gerry visits with Roy Hendrickson at a fishing event that includes Jimmy Houston as the keynote speaker in the northeast corner of Ohio. This multi-species fishing tournament is an outreach ministry of the likes Gerry had never seen before. It is where a small fish like a green sun fish that is caught during the day’s time on the water could actually be a winner over a larger species fish, such as a bass or walleye. It all works on state records and a percentage, with the formula for judging being explained by this week's guest Roy Hendrickson. The lake the church was using was public access and fishable from both the Ohio and Pennsylvania sides and you will discover that this ministry outreach is also designed to share Christ. This tournament concept can even be done on a small farm pond that has several species of fish.

On this week’s Trail To Adventure! Gerry is in the Wisconsin Dells in Wisconsin, at the Mathews Bows Dealership show. His guest is Joel Maxfield who was the very first employee of the company at the start, as the owner Matt McPherson launched the business. Joel describes the humble beginning that was so small and yet, how on one given Thursday, suddenly the orders started rolling in, one phone call after another. He realized then that God’s hand was on the business as this clearly was a blessing from the Lord! Joel shares on how important the Lord and evangelism is to the owners, always trying to be a reflection of the Creator, Jesus. Also, he tells some fun outdoor adventures stories from years past.

Paul shares how he got started in the treestand industry with API being the first aluminum stand to appear on the market and when he sold the business it was the number one manufacturer of treestands.

The program this week is a visit with outdoor writer Tracy Breen at the Mathews Dealership Show where God’s Great Outdoors sets up a booth to hopefully evangelize those who attend at the Wisconsin Dells in Wisconsin. Tracy shares how he got to where he is today as the field of outdoor writers continues to shrink as print publications die out. Part of the interview looks at Tracy’s cerebral palsy and how he knows that God used this in his life to bring him to where he is today. The two point to how Tracy’s position in the industry allows him to be a witness for Christ Jesus.

On this week’s program, Gerry visits with Ralph Cianciarulo of the “Archers Choice” television show at the studio he shares with his wife Vicki in Lanark, Illinois. Ralph shares about his early years of growing up roaming the woods and fields of his Illinois home and the adventures he had. These times included his family and how the bow and arrow introduced into his life set a course to where he is today. Ralph also tells how he met Vicki through archery and their TV show got its start. This path in life led to the two of them praying to receive Christ, as did their son RJ.

Gerry visits with the Founder of the Answers In Genesis ministry at the Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky. Ken shares about watching his dad, a Christian school teacher in Australia where very few people know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Ken also became a school teacher and like his dad was challenged on creation vs evolution and what the Bible said on the matter. This led to Ken’s passion to present the truth of the book of Genesis and the real facts of what science reveals about God’s universe and our earth. Ken unveils how studies done by Answers In Genesis and others are discovering how young people are doubting God’s Word because of evolution and “the millions of years” they are taught in schools. Yet, the two point out the many items that people can learn to use to defend God and his creation.

Gerry visits with Dennis and Peggy Robinson on this week’s Trail To Adventure! The couple relates an experience that happened back when they were dairy farmers in Wisconsin. Dennis had put God on a shelf and everything in his life was about him what he wanted. So, Peggy had turned him over to the Lord and said, "You need to deal with him Lord, he is yours." Two days later Dennis was pulled half way through a hay wagon, mechanical apparatus and was not expected to live from the massive injuries he received. Yet, God had a plan, and it included transforming a man to be what God wanted him to be.
