They’re taking over the entire town, and no, this isn’t just some science fiction horror movie! Tim Griffiths shares with Gerry about the ministry of Shepherd’s Staff located in Rexford, Kansas. As businesses in this town struggle and have to close their doors, this ministry looks to purchase the buildings and turn them into facilities where churches, groups, and individuals can come for Christ-centered retreats. The ministry is also doing fall pheasant hunts to reach men and boys, and just beginning to see their spring turkey hunts take off as well.
