“As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God” (Psalms 42:1, NIV)
In 1998, Mark Moore sought God’s guidance for a way to unite his love for the outdoors and his desire to reach men with the Gospel. As a church Deacon and avid Outdoorsman, he shared a burden for reaching fellow sportsmen and realized the impact that sin continues to bring upon our world. As Christian Sportsmen enjoy the refreshment that God gives to them in quiet moments surrounded by His majestic, undisturbed creation, it is difficult to imagine how any man can be alone in God’s great outdoors and not desire to know the One who spoke it into existence.
His burden became focused in prayer and developed into a well-defined mission as an important part in fulfilling God’s “vision” for reaching outdoorsmen with the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ. God wants to unite Christian outdoorsmen from various denominational backgrounds for this purpose and develop a relationship between them. God desires that men be united through their shared love for Jesus Christ and common interest in outdoor sports.
In 2004, the ministry was finally given a title. F.O.C.U.S Outdoor Ministries! The F.O.C.U.S. stands for “FOCUSING ON CHRIST’S ULTIMATE SHOWCASE.” The ministry is designed for Sportsmen to grow closer in their relationship with God and the local church, by using our passion for outdoor activities. It is our hope that this common bond of enjoying the outdoors will create an environment to bring together Christians and Non-Christians, while building friendships between them. If you are constantly in pursuit of outdoor adventures, I know you will feel very comfortable with the members of this ministry.
