God's Great Outdoors

This week on The Trail to Adventure host Dean Hulce talks with Jason Huntsman, one of top editors/program producers of hunting TV and DVDs of all time.  He has certainly made the cut in this industry.Jason shares stories of his first buck and a record book buck he took with his bow while running his own camera.  Then he says that something that he longed for his entire life had little lasting meaning.  Then we talk about what’s really important in life.

On this weeks Trail To Adventure we’ll hear a story of a hunter’s biggest archery buck, then that same hunter will share the importance of youth ministry and Christian camping.  You won’t want to miss this week's show… it’s bound to be a keeper.

On this week’s Trail to Adventure we get to know Pastor Ryan Flunker as we tell the story of his harvest of a great Pope and Young trophy buck.  Pastor Ryan will talk about his calling into missions work and then back home to a local church here in the UP of Michigan.  You won’t want to miss the exciting and sometime hilarious story of how Pastor Ryan takes the biggest buck he’s ever seen.

Join us this week as we visit with long-time friend of God’s Great Outdoors and board member Arnie Wolf and His wife Dee.We learn about the Canadian fishing camp that Arnie and Dee have, Rushing Wind.

Hunters have a strong and strange attraction for antlers.  They will spend a lot or money and travel long distances to see and aquire antlers.  This week we learn about antler collecting from a man that has collected them for decades and we learn how the quest for large antlers and record book entries brought him to a relationship with Jesus Christ

A fond farewell is given to Gerry as we share memories and tributes as well testimonies of all that Gerry and Cyndi did over the last 26 to make God's Great Outdoors what it is today.   We'll even share a little history that many might not know of how God lead Gerry down the Trail To Adventure radio.

Dean Hulce, New GGO Radio show host, share his background, his calling and where he sees the future for God's Great Outdoors.

On this Trail To Adventure! Dr. Tom Rakow, the founder of The Christian Deer Hunters Association and Gerry visit together discussing the numerous outdoor ministries that have come about over the years. The idea is to provide Christians looking to reach others who enjoy time in God's creation with the tools to aid in the ability to help win them to receive Jesus Christ as their Creator God. Tom shares about how The Christian Deer Hunters Association got started and how he never expected it to be what it is today. Tom also tells how he began writing books, and today despite the fact that he flunked English several times in school, with his family’s aid he has written a number of books that are helping Christians reach out to their unsaved friends and relatives with true stories on fishing and hunting.

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!

On the Trail To Adventure! photographing mountains, fields, streams, seashores, and much more is the topic with this week's guest Dr. Charles Stanley. Dr. Stanley shares how he got involved in photography to include even developing all of his own photographs which are featured on just about all of the In Touch Ministry's items available to the public. He tells how awestruck he is by God's creation and by the memories surrounding the photos. Dr. Stanley also tells of his early years of fishing, hunting, and shooting, but how the absence of a father in his life to do these things with were clearly remembered in later years when he was a man. He offers to the audience that they may not think that taking a youngster fishing that has no father figure is a big deal, but he assures them that it is and how it can leave a lasting impact for eternity.
