CULLMAN, Ala. – The Cullman Chapter of the nonprofit organization Truth in Nature is getting ready to begin its archery program. This Saturday, Sept. 12, mentors will come out to help boys learn the fundamentals of archery. Truth in Nature is a free program for fatherless boys or those from single-parent homes in grades 6-12.
Truth in Nature’s mission is “to reach, inspire, support and engage young men from fatherless and single parent homes in understanding their purpose as Christian men and helping break the fatherless cycle in society today.”
This Saturday, Cullman Program Director Brian Burchett explained, “They just have to come to our website and sign up and once they do that, we will provide the information about having them there this Saturday.”
The day will include learning archery and a fun 3D target competition.
“We will teach the ones who have never shot a bow how to shoot a bow and how to aim, said Burchett. “We have four mentors signed up to help them.”
Truth in Nature is located approximately 14 miles west of Cullman on U.S. Highway 278 so it arranges for an easy pick-up and drop-off point near Cullman for convenience.
Burchett said of the boys who have attended the last couple of events, “They are having a blast. What we are all about is, our number one goal is to try to lead these boys to the Lord, but we use as our platform is just the outdoor ministry. We can teach these boys things they may be missing out on by not having dad at home. Whether it be fishing, hunting, archery shooting, hiking and camping- just trying to build bonds with these boys that they might be missing at home and giving them someone to look up to, someone they could turn to if they didn’t want to talk with mom about something.”
