God's Great Outdoors

On this week’s Trail To Adventure! Gerry visits with the sales and marketing manager for Morrell Manufacturing, Butch Thomas. Morrell is a company that produces bag targets and got its start when a brick layer named Dale Morrell decided to start packing the binding and covering material that came on each skid of bricks into bags. Dale wondered if they’d stop his arrows as he loved archery, thus the idea for a business was launched. Gerry visits with Butch in Wisconsin at the Mathews Dealership Show, as Butch shares about growing up without a father, his mother's faith in God, and how that was transmitted to him as he grew older. Butch talks about his mother’s struggle as a single parent as his father died when he was only 2 years old, but how mom was always honoring to God in all she did and as she taught the children. Butch reflects how he’s given up opportunities to go out to hunt for ducks or deer when phone calls come to him from people in the outdoor industry needing immediate prayer!
