Overview
Mission
Blast & Cast Mens Ministries is an inter-denominational Christian outreach ministry that utilizes the common bonds of hunting and fishing to reach outdoorsmen. As we commonly say, we are pointing outdoorsmen to the cross. Each fall, we gather to celebrate God’s work through **Blast & Cast Men’s Ministries**—honoring the lives changed and raising the vital support that keeps our mission thriving. The Gala is more than a fundraiser; it’s the “can’t-miss” date night of the year. Designed for both men and women, it is the perfect opportunity to introduce friends, family, and colleagues to the heart of Blast & Cast. Details regarding Tickets, Tables, and Sponsorships, plus more… are available on the official **2026 Gala Page.** Thank you for supporting Blast & Cast Men’s Ministries. We appreciate you!
What it reported doing in 2024
Local community outreach efforts alongside various bass and redfish tournament trails that are designed to create a missionary presence in locations that outdoorsmen naturally gather. Experienced tremendous success on redfish tournament trails and are growing in the bass tournament scene. Tournament anglers are now attending our events and engaging in the gospel.

The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
