We praise the Lord for 97 years of building godly men, now at two locations! We could not have done it without your financial and prayer support. Hundreds of Deerfooters participated in this ministry this season. Thank you!
As we approach the end of the calendar year, we invite you to consider Deerfoot in your year-end giving.
