The first couple of weekends saw us still getting ready for the year. Youth weekend we had a couple of our own kids working on the lease and sitting in stands, but the second weekend in November was our first official weekend of the season. We had a new group scheduled to come up, but […]

We were blessed with about 90 in attendance with over 50 being youth […]
Our First Gator Hunt!
Just finished out a great weekend for Briar Ridge. It’s not deer season yet, but we do our best to make as may weekends as we can for the kids. We got to take a small group of our local kids to fishing camp for a little bit of Alligator Hunting! A great time was […]
Recap of the Season…
Good morning!!! Just sitting back reflecting on all that God did this past deer season. Our weekends were full of blessings, and every group was absolutely wonderful. We ended up with 20 bucks down but more importantly 23 confessions of faith. I’ve been thinking of what that means this morning. As a matter of fact, […]
Finding Rest…
So the last weekend of January, ended our 2022-2023 Deer Season. And we ended it with a good group of kids, and a decent weekend of taking animals. That’s right we ended up with a hog and a deer. And I’m pretty sure everyone got to see deer on that final weekend, even though there […]
He’s looking for you…

Who is in your circle?
It was wonderful, completely busy, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. We had 22 kids and that put us around 45 at the camp house last weekend. We ended up having 2 deer taken, with one of those being a first kill. The kids were wonderful and the family was great. The messages […]
Where’s your spot?
This past weekend was our biggest weekend ever! It was great to see so many first time hunters, and some of our old friends. It’s a blessing when groups come up that focus on bringing new people to experience the ministry. We ended up with about 47 people for the weekend, which put our bunkrooms […]
Going to see the Savior…
This last ministry weekend of 2022 went very well. We ended up with about 10 youth and close to 20 overall. We had a group out of Bogue Chitto come up and it’s always good to spend some time with them. The messages were brought by a couple of our board members and one of […]
Perspective
It was a great weekend. We ended up having about 24 I think that included kids and mentors. The group were all pretty grounded and most of the messages were geared more towards discipleship and living the life we claim. The deer didn’t seem to move at all, pretty sure we all saw does and […]
