Joe Bundy, Wilderness Adventures Ministry
WAM is an organization that is striving to work with individuals who have disabilities to go in nature and help them participate in or experience or try an outdoor activity such as fishing, hiking, camping, hunting, and so on. If there is a will for someone to get outdoors, we want to make that goal or dream become reality since the people around them may know how to make it happen or have the resources to do so. But, our greatest mission though is to let the people we work with that they are loved by people and especially God and can live a greater and more purposeful life.
We take blind people on hunting and fishing trips. We encourage them and support them and getting out of the house and doing something Outdoors.
