Registration is open for this year’s 6th Annual Ministry Village Clay Shoot, and we’re shooting to break our fundraising records! Sign up now for the event which will be held on Saturday, October 8 at the Santa Rosa Shooting Center - 6950 Quintette Road, Pace, Florida..

The 6th annual fundraiser for the Charis House and the programs of Ministry Village at Olive will feature special guest and multi-time professional tour, world and national champion shooter Gebben Miles! Gebben will kick off Saturday’s event with his testimony, life as a professional world champion shooter, and how he has woven his sharp shooting skills and his faith together to glorify God. Gebben will also be on the course during the shoot to give participants tips to improve their technique and their scores! Check-in begins at 7:30 AM and Gebben will speak at 8 AM. The safety meeting will immediately precede the start of the clay shoot at 9:00 AM. Teams or single shooters are welcome and shells are provided. The event will also include a silent auction, live raffle, door prizes, and lunch immediately following the conclusion of the shoot. Participation is limited to the first 120 shooters.

All proceeds benefit the programs of Ministry Village at Olive, Inc., including the Charis House, a faith-based residential recovery program helping women gain freedom from addiction. Dr. Stephen Newsome, Chairman of the Board of Directors for Ministry Village at Olive, is looking forward to this year’s event because of its purpose. "The annual Clay Shoot provides a fun way for us to share the work of Ministry Village with our community, and provide an opportunity to make a difference in someone’s life. The work done at the Charis House is life-changing and life-saving. But it takes resources to support that work. It costs about $1,600 each month to provide housing, shelter, and program support for just one woman. Each woman commits to a minimum of 1 year in the program, so the costs add up quickly. This fundraiser is a wonderful way to support Ministry Village.”
