GODS COUNTRY

Our God's Country program is just one of the modalities we use as a form of alternative therapy. We utilize various alternative programs to help improve the psychological and physiological condition of each and every member and their families, this includes: hunting, fishing, camping, and golf.  We provide a safe and controlled atmosphere where our Survivors and their families can establish friendship, trust, healthy relationships, and an IDENTITY in Christ. We take our disabled veterans from the common therapy room conversations to the outdoor therapy room. Here, we believe we establish a deeper-rooted sense of healing by taking our veterans out into God's Country. We build comradery, increase inner healing, and create long-term relationships that continue far past the outdoor trips.


THE POWER OF NATURE!

Did you know that the human mind and heart has a natural connection with nature? Taking our veterans outside into God's country puts them back into their natural state, just how God intended. According to the American Heart Association spending time in nature can help our veterans not only build comradery but also relieve stress, anxiety, and depression just to name a few.

COMRADERY

THERAPEUTIC

RENEWING

One of the things we love about activities in God's Country like hunting, fishing, and camping, is the strategizing and preparation required to be successful, and being away from the hustle and bustle of the world. It is beyond exciting to take on the challenge of finding and then harvesting an animal, or coming across that sweet spot on a lake, or hiking and finding an amazing, seemingly untouched camping spot with infinite views of the sunrise, sunsets, and stars.


Just as myself and others in our program would agree, the uncertain and nervous feelings of hunting that come before the success of it all is exhilarating. The adrenaline and endorphins that are released are unmatched in almost anything else you can do in this life.


The "great outdoors" they say is the greatest therapy of all because it involves the creation that God has blessed us with, Mother Earth. There are so many great neurological and physiological benefits centered around just getting out into the country, away from the day-to-day city life. 


The most impactful aspect of hunting, is in fact, the therapy it offers. Of course, it puts food on the table, that is the obvious reason, but there's so much more. Our program talks and teaches our Survivors to reflect and do exactly that, not only in hunting but in real life, and to know that He is Jehovah Jireh, (God the provider). In response to the stresses and chaos of daily life, it can provide a spiritual reset for many. Some say hunting, fishing, and camping is a feeling of being in the presence of God, which provides a refreshing or a renewing of one's soul. It’s interesting to me that the very thing that cause pressure and anxiety in our lives, such as jobs, friendships, and family, are also some of the biggest blessings in our lives. It's all about perspective. Embracing and accepting the reality and truth in that fact, is vital to keeping a balance and developing the spiritual resiliency we need everyday. Providing the opportunity for this pause, God's Country helps you in accomplishing this.


There is even research indicating that hospital patients able to view nature from windows experience faster recovery rates. This included patients with both mental and physical ailments. Not science, but again the affect on the spirit that God's creations has is indisputable.  It's no surprise that hunts are so impactful and transforming for disabled veterans. Given a second chance at life first and foremost, and then being given the opportunity to do things they never thought they'd do or do again, they truly have a life changing experience. As we said earlier, they particularly find relief through the solitude and sensory experience that only fishing or a hunt in "God's

Country " can provide.   


With simply taking in His creation, comes an escape from our worldly problems and pending decisions; and sometimes gives us clarity in the answers we were searching for. If not for only a few hours, it can illuminate a new perspective and appreciation for what we didn't see beforehand as well. 

THE KEY . . .

So consider allowing your time in the woods to blot out your troubles,
even if just for a while. Ponder big dreams, relationships with friends & family, marriage, parenthood, F.A.I.T.H. , and your Blessings. What better way to do this but by spending REAL, unobstructed, uninterrupted time with your Creator and heavenly Father who loves you unconditionally.
