What is a "Minute Fisherman"?
During the Revolutionary War, a special group of soldiers were ready at a minute's notice to go out and fight whenever they were called. These men were called "Minute Men." These soldiers were generally 25 years old and younger and were chosen for their enthusiasm, reliability, and physical strength. They were average people that lived their everyday lives as farmers, blacksmiths, preachers, business owners, family members,, etc., but were equipped before the battle with the necessary skills, tools, and knowledge to defend their rights and loved ones when the need arose. Their preparation before being called was vital for the success of those they served.
As Christians we are soldiers in the Lord's army, as well as "fishers of men." Are you equipped to be a "fisher of men" at a moment's notice?

"... always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect." (1 Peter 3:15 ESV)

"This has changed the way I view witnessing; it has made it a pleasure, no longer feels like a duty or burden. I am more equipped than I was to share my faith." ~ B., Fall 2019 Student
