About 5 years ago, God put it upon the hearts of the men at Ryans Creek Baptist Church to use God’s great outdoors to reach those who do not know our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Four years ago, RCBC hosted its first annual fishing tournament on Smith Lake in Cullman, AL and had 13 boats participating. God has truly blessed this event and this year we had 67 boats participate in the tournament. We would like to personally invite you to come along and experience some of the great blessings we received at the 4th Annual RCBC Outdoor Adventures Fishing Tournament on Smith Lake with guest speaker Danny Tesseneer from Ain’t God Good Ministries.

If you are interested in participating in the 2010 5th Annual RCBC Outdoor Adventures Fishing Tournament, either as a fishing entrant or sponsor, please send an email to Ryans Creek Baptist Church.

Tournament Co-chairs: Tony Byrd and Wayne Vintson
