Mallard Manor Events Calendar

Thank you for your interest in Mallard Manor and what the Mississippi Delta has to offer in this great waterfowling experience.  As hunters ourselves, we understand the strong responsibility to reach out to the young hunters of this great nation and have taken steps over the past few years in implementing a program designed to help meet this need.  With that being said, we are in the process of expanding our youth and ministry programs to help meet this great need and will not be offering commercially guided hunts to the general public during the 2009-10 season.  This is something that might change in the future but this is the direction that we will be headed this fall and winter season.  If you are interested or know of someone who might be interested in sending their youth to one of our programs, please don’t hesitate to call or email us and be placed on our email list for future news and happenings at Mallard Manor.  Below is a list of some of the events that we have coming up in the near future.

2010- 2011-Pastors’ Gospel Gunnin' Hunting Retreats 

Dates to be announced soon!!! to be placed on our mailing iist.

DiscipleNOW Youth Duck Hunts

As a youth, did you ever wish that you could go hunt ducks but never had anyone to take you or go hunting in an area that had a lot of ducks?  Or perhaps, you are a parent in today’s world wanting some way to teach your youth about hunting and the way of life that outdoorsmen enjoy but just don’t have the resources to do so.  Well, this program is designed to fulfill these needs. 

The DiscipleNOW youth hunting program is a mentoring program with the goal to give youth awesome hunting opportunities in the outdoors and help them better understand what life's journey is all about! We encourage youth through Bible study in the duck blind or maybe on the dove field to know God personally through His Son Jesus and to live each day of their lives under the authority of God's Word.  These events have been a hit since 2006 and we keep adding more each year for the kids.  Here are the dates coming up.  Please view the Mallard Manor Ministries page of our website for more detailed information and downloadable forms.

Outdoorsman Summer Camp Program 2010

Our summer program is a blast! We take a group of youth and place them into a small camp atmosphere where they can develop new friendships and their skills in the outdoors. Regardless if a youth is an avid hunter or none at all, the program is designed in such a way to involve everyone. Below is a list of activities that youth may be involved with during their stay at summer camp:  3D Archery Shoot, 5 Stand Clay Shoot, Fishing, Bowfishing, Game Calling Seminars, Dog Training Seminars, Coon Hunting, fun at the lake, and much more!  Please take a moment to view the Mallard Manor Ministries page of our website for more information and camp forms.

Dear Pastors and Staff Members,

It is my joy to recommend Mallard Manor and its programs for your consideration for ministry opportunities.  I have been familiar with Mallard Manor from its inception as Dr. Terry Westmoreland, owner, is a faithful member of Fairview .  His heart is to reach young people for Christ and to help them grow into fruitful disciples. 

Dr. Westmoreland and his family have made several trips to Peru on Medical Missions and have been involved in hundreds coming to faith in Christ.  Evangelism is at their hearts as a family.

Kevin Dewry, Assistant Manager/ Camp Director is a current student of New Orleans Baptist Seminary and has a heart for reaching youth.  He too is connected with Fairview Baptist, having married one of our members and I can recommend his leadership with no reservations.

Mallard Manor Ministries offers a tremendous opportunity for young people to be exposed to the outdoors, to have the opportunity to develop hunting skills, and to develop in their relationship with God.  We have had several youth from Fairview participate in their ministries and they have greatly benefited from the experience.

Mallard Manor is also an excellent location for deacon retreats, men's groups, etc.  In addition, it is a very family friendly facility.

I am convinced any group will find an event at Mallard Manor beneficial.  I can highly recommend them as a solid Christian ministry.  They are theologically sound, Biblically based, evangelistically focused, and Christ centered.

Yours in reaching others,

Mickey Dalrymple

Dear Pastor/Church Staff

Somewhere within your church or outreach circle, there is a young person needing reached for Christ that conventional means doesn't appeal to. They enjoy the outdoors or possess a spirit of adventure that the local church doesn't seem to exhibit. If someone comes to mind as you read this, please pay attention.

A few years ago God started reaching youth and students through the outreach ministries of Mallard Manor. Inviting them to various camps and experiences at an otherwise wintertime duck hunting camp, turned out to be quite effective. Several families in my church have been reached through this innovative endeavor. Two of my three sons have also worked for Mallard Manor in this ministry. The young man that heads up this outreach is Kevin Drewry and he and his wife are members of my church.

Henry Blackaby once said, "Look for where God is working and join Him there." Friend, God is working through this ministry. Please look over their information and prayerfully consider who you may want to recommend to attend a future event. You will find their staff easy to work with and I promise they will take every possible means to accommodate your students or prospects into their events. You may also want to ask about using their facilities for some future event. We held a deacon's retreat there a few years back and our men were excited about their accommodations.

Feel free to contact me personally if I can be of further assistance.
