God's Great Outdoors has spent years compiling the names of Christian guides and outfitters and we want to share that information with you. We are in the ongoing process of creating a list of the family friendly outfitters and providers of outdoor services. Folks we hope to recommend to you.
So take a look, and check back often to see new additions. Just remember, as with with any service provider, it is your responsibility to investigate and interview these outfitters and guides before giving them your business. Read the "Special Note" in the middle column of this page.

Skipper Bettis has spoken and helped us at our Trail To Adventure! Conferences and also speaks at game dinners across the country. You can be sure those attending will hear some great hunting stories from this seasoned guide. But also they’ll hear about his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
Though I have never had the opportunity to hunt the Legends, I’ve been able to stay there several times, once when we held our God’s Great Outdoors Board meeting there. It is a beautiful lodge, with big wonderful meals, on a bass filled lake surrounded by oak trees. What a place to hunt the deer and turkey I saw! They do have some monster bucks there.

Children and families are the obvious victims of this cultural epidemic. Pheasant City Adventures uses our facilities to conduct camps, outdoor activities, retreats, and conferences designed to build the individual and the family. The ultimate adventure is achieved though the discovery and cultivation of personal faith in Jesus Christ. Pheasant City provides a good Christian environment. At this time Pheasant City focuses on father and son relationships. In the future they will expand into family accommodations.

Kevin Teveldal is also available as a speaker, does an excellent job and will share what the truth of Jesus, the Gospel, has done in his life. We have done several of the Fathers To Future Men Pheasant Hunts there now. This is a “number one” family friendly and fun place. It is a well run outfitting business. I promise they’ll treat you right!
