SC Upstate CLASSIC Series had 50 boats that competed on lake RUSSELL, 4/23/2022.
Tx SPONSOR- Highway 72 Marine
We had a Great meeting on Friday night with a NEW Host: NORTHSIDE BAPTIST church. A special thanks to Walter Buff for helping to organize the Food and connecting SC Upstate with Northside. It was so nice to meet Pastor Brian and all the true servants that were there on Friday night.
One of our own anglers, Cory McGaha shared his heart with us. To paraphrase, he encouraged the Christians (Believers) at the meeting to be strong in their walk. Its all about taking that NEXT step. For some it may be to begin reading the word more, for others it may be to answer God's holy nudge to serve Him in a different way, and for others it could be to be intentional about Fishing fo MEN in different areas of your life. Cory stated that ALL Christians are called to share our FAITH with those that God has placed in our lives. Have you told YOUR story to someone lately? Would you consider doing it? I pray that God will use you to be a vessel that he can use to Share his Love and Mercy with others.
