Dallas Texas - Bass Fisherman For The Lord, Kelvin Entwhistle Fishes For Men As Well
			Kelvin Entwhistle, fishes for Souls. The Dallas, Ga., graduate of Hillytown Fundamentalist Seminary recently came to Freehold Iowa to do a little Bass Fishing, and a little witnessing. He has found a way to turn something that he loves, into something that the Lord loves. Kelvin spoke at our 8am Sunday service. He had already been up fishing for 5 hours. Rev. Smith joked, 'I am sorry I couldn't join Kelvin for his morning devotions on his rusty old bass boat, 3am is a little to early, even for the Lord.' Mr. Entwhistle caught four fish and two souls.

				Kelvin explained to the congregation how he had left his church 10 years ago to form the Sportsman's Outreach Program Center as a full time ministry. He is a fully liscensed Southern Baptist Missionary. He receives support for his Bass Tour Ministry, his National Lakes Tour, his Pacific Deep Sea Vacation Adventure Month, and Bi-Annual Fishermen For The Lord Conference in Cosa Mesa, CA, all through churches, individuals, and Christian sponsors. Mr. Entwhistle spends time with partners in boats during tournaments. He recently shared the gospel with a man who made a spiritual and financial commitment his ministry, right there in the boat! He also shares the gospel whenever he gets a break from his busy schedule. "I enjoy witnessing on a boat, in the middle of a lake, one on one," Kelvin told The AmeriChrist Sportsman Magazine. "A person has no other choice but to listen when they are stuck out there with me on a boat," he joked. "Sometimes I kid around with them and shake the boat a bit. I tell them if they don't accept the Lord we might have ourselves a little accident." Kelvin told a story at Landover's 8am service that had the congregation in stitches. He claimed that one time he had frightened a man so badly that there was a scuffle on the boat. The man got a fish hook caught in his mouth, and pleaded with Kelvin to help remove it. Kelvin told the man, "If you accept the Lord, I'll do it." The man made a hurried commitment, and the hook was removed. Kelvin told the congregation that "that man is now pastoring a church in Ashville North Carolina, but has never gone fishing with me since that day.
