This week’s interview is with Ron Vining from Polestar Ministry. This is a group that takes young people on hunting and fishing trips in lieu of their parents, who have no idea how to do outdoor activities, yet the kids want to get started. This ministry was started in Powell, Wyoming where Ron lives, but has expanded to other areas and is making a difference in the lives of these young people, as the program is also set up to present the Gospel. Also, they will include the parents if they want to take part and learn how to do these activities so one day they can join their children on the adventures.

The remote fly-in fishing adventures held at Rushing Wind Retreat Center every summer is the topic of this week’s program. The couple, Arnie & Dee Wolf, share how this ministry is all about reconciling men with God during the 5-day adventures that attendees come to experience each year. It clearly isn’t about fishing, but that is the “bait”, if you will, that is used that sees unsaved people come, or couples whose marriages are struggling during the marriage retreats. Arnie reflects on how they became owners of the camp after years of coming alongside the previous owners, and share how Rushing Wind’s ministry is for bringing glory to our Creator God.
