ATTENTION SAN ANTONIO AREA HUNTERS:
CAN YOU VOLUNTEER ON A CHRISTIAN YOUTH HUNT?

Over the course of my 20-year career as a radio talk show host, I've met and interviewed a lot of fascinating people. Many of them are household names which you would recognize instantly.

The Vision of Tom Snyder

Tom Snyder, the 46-year-old owner of the regional Colonial Life Insurance office here in Garden Ridge, has got to be one of the most intriguing people I've met in a long time. He's not famous. He's not a political leader. And he hasn't even written a book.

But he's spearheading a unique Christian ministry in our own backyard whose vision is as big as the Texas sky.

trinity oaks youth hunt 1

Tom Snyder, founder of Trinity Oaks, teaches a young boy on a Youth Hunt.
If you would like to volunteer to be a guide, call 210.447.351.

Now that he has become a successful businessman, Tom, a member of River City Community Church here in San Antonio, has a passion to give back to the community - especially to the children in demonstrable, life-changing ways.

The heart of Trinity Oaks: Youth Hunts

That's why he founded Trinity Oaks, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. At the heart of the ministry are the youth hunts for 10 to 16-year-olds. Throughout their time, the young people experience firearms safety instruction, target shooting and actual big game hunting.

In the process, Tom wants to give the tweens and teens access to the great outdoors, to build their character, and to teach them the importance of responsibility in our narcissistic culture.

trinity oaks youth hunt 2

10 to 16-year-old boys, like the ones pictured above on a Trinity Oaks Youth Hunt develop self-confidence, an appreciation of God's creation and connect with the volunteer hunting guides.

"Our goal with youth is three-fold. First, we want to teach kids that hunting is not just about 'killing animals', but also about building relationships and enjoying God's majestic outdoors. Second, we want to promote our country's hunting heritage to future generations," said Tom Snyder.

"Third and most importantly, we want to show children of all ages that they have value and let them know there are people who care about them, people willing to listen to them and mentor them. We have found you can really reach a child and make a difference in his life just by sitting next to a campfire and listening to what he has to say."

During the 2010/2011 hunting season alone, Tom personally acted as the lead field guide for every one of the 20 youth hunts attended by 85 young people, 53 of whom were first-time hunters. Typically, each hunt is comprised of 3-5 youngsters along with their fathers and some volunteer guides. Each youth is assigned to an adult.

Their goal for the upcoming 2011/2012 hunting season is to have 30 youth hunts attended by 100 kids and 75 first-time children hunters.

The Youth Hunts are totally free to the kids

Amazingly, Trinity Oaks covers every single expense including the cost of transportation, the lease of the land, the hunting license fees as well as the food, lodging and the mounting of the child's wildgame trophy.

All the meat is processed for free by volunteers, ground up and frozen into family packs. It's then distributed to needy families and homeless shelters throughout San Antonio as well as orphanages in Mexico.

ACTION STEPS FOR ADAM'S ARMY:

1. If you would like to suggest a boy or girl between the ages of 10 and 16 to
participate in a future Trinity Oaks youth hunt, please call 210.447.0351, and tell them you are a McManus subscriber, or email.

2. If you would like to volunteer to become a guide or firearms trainer for some of the
youth hunts, please call 210.447.0351 and tell them you are a McManus subscriber or e-mail.

3. If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation to Trinity Oaks to ensure that the
Youth Hunts and Wounded Warrior Hunts continue, donate on-line here.

The cost of sending one underprivileged kid on a Christian Youth Hunt is $1,200. And now, thanks to the generosity of one sponsor, anything that you give up to $100,000 will be doubled.

So, if you give $150 today, your donation will be doubled to $300 and fund one-quarter of the $1,200 cost for one kid to participate in this life-changing ministry.

You can also make a tax-deductible donation by check made out to "Trinity Oaks." Send it to: Tom Snyder, Trinity Oaks, 9385 Miller Lane, San Antonio, Texas 78266. (Write "McManus newsletter" in the memo)

REPUBLICAN DEBATE BRINGS OUT AGGRESSION IN CANDIDATES

The race for the Republican presidential nomination took a turn toward the South Carolina surreal Thursday as Rick Perry dropped out, Newt Gingrich faced stunning allegations from an ex-wife and Mitt Romney struggled to maintain a shaky front-runner's standing.

An aggressive evening debate capped the bewildering day.

Former Sen. Rick Santorum played aggressor for much of the night, trying to inject himself into what seemed increasingly like a two-way race with little more than a day remaining until the South Carolina polls open on Saturday. He accused Gingrich and Romney of "playing footsies with the left" when it came to health care. Both men rejected the allegations.

GINGRICH LACKS MORAL CHARACTER TO BE PRESIDENT, EX-WIFE SAYS

Newt Gingrich lacks the moral character to serve as President, his second ex-wife Marianne told ABC News, saying his campaign positions on the sanctity of marriage and the importance of family values do not square with what she saw during their 18 years of marriage.

In her first television interview since the 1999 divorce, to be broadcast tonight on Nightline, Marianne Gingrich, a self-described conservative Republican, said she is coming forward now so voters can know what she knows about Gingrich.

MARIANNE GINGRICH, NEWT'S EX-WIFE, SAYS HE WANTED 'OPEN MARRIAGE'

Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich in 1999 asked his second wife for an "open marriage" or a divorce at the same time he was giving speeches around the country on family and religious values, his former wife, Marianne, said Thursday.

In an interview with The Washington Post, Marianne Gingrich said her former husband called her on May 10, 1999, as she was having dinner with her 84-year-old mother and said, "I want a divorce."
"Is there anybody else?" Marianne Gingrich recalled saying. "He was quiet. Within two seconds, when he didn't immediately answer, I knew."

gingrich ex-wife

Two days later, Newt Gingrich gave a speech at a conference titled "The Demise of American Culture" sponsored by the Republican Women Leaders Forum in Erie, Pa. Gingrich extolled the virtues of the Founding Fathers and criticized liberal politicians for supporting tax increases, which he said hurt families and children. In the speech, which was televised on C-SPAN, he spoke often of God, families and values.

Marianne Gingrich FULL Interview on ABC News Nightline

"When a liberal talks about values, will he or she actually like us to teach American history?" Gingrich told the women's group. "Will they actually like young people to learn that George Washington was an ethical man? A man of standards, a man who earned the right to be father of this country?"

Marianne Gingrich said she was surprised at the timing. "How could he ask me for a divorce on Monday and within 48 hours give a speech on family values and talk about how people treat people?" she said.

NEWT ALLY CALLS EX-WIFE UNSTABLE, UNHINGED

Allies of embattled GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich are coming to his defense against his ex-wife's new and salacious charges, labeling Marianne as "unstable" and "unhinged."

What's more is that they are slapping at ABC, which is set to run an interview Thursday with Marianne Gingrich in which she claims the former speaker wanted an open marriage so he could date his current wife, Callista. Gingrich's supporters claim the network is trying to get the Republican out of the race just as he's peaking in the polls.

GINGRICH SLAMS CNN FOR MARRIAGE QUESTION, GETS OVATION

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich drew at least two standing ovations just moments into the final South Carolina GOP presidential debate tonight when he criticized CNN moderator John King for opening with "trash," and accused the liberal media of attempting to protect President Barack Obama by attacking Republicans.

Gingrich Rips CNN's John King at Republican Debate -- 1/19/2012

King began the two-hour debate from the North Charleston Coliseum with a question on accusations by Gingrich's ex-wife, Marianne, that the former speaker had asked her for permission to have an "open marriage" after she learned he was having an affair with his current wife, the former Callista Bisek.

WHY ARE WE ALLOWING LEFT-WING MEDIA TO MODERATE GOP DEBATES?

ABC NEWS: GINGRICH NOT CORRECT ABOUT SOURCES

Newt Gingrich's most potent slam against the media in last night's CNN debate alleged a certain cognitive dissonance. The speaker was on fire about an ABC report giving air to claims by ex-wife Marianne Gingrich that the former speaker had requested an "open marriage." He said:

"This story is false. Every personal friend I had in that period says the story was false. We offered several of them to ABC to prove it was false. They weren't interested because they would like to attack any Republican. They're attacking the governor, they're attacking me, I'm sure they'll get around to Senator Santorum, and Congressman Paul. I am tired of the elite media protecting Barack Obama by attacking Republicans."

ABC WORKED FOR MONTHS TO GET MARIANNE GINGRICH INTERVIEW

The television interview of Marianne Gingrich, a former wife of Newt Gingrich, that will be broadcast on Thursday night was initiated back in November, when ABC News was looking into an old federal investigation that involved the family.

Newt Gingrich, aside from the budget deal in '95 and being made to ride in the back of Air Force One, Newt got along with Clinton pretty well, if you recall, and Newt treated Hillary with respect, even sat on the couch with Nancy Pelosi. Now, there's an accusation out there that Newt wanted an open marriage, just like Bill and Hillary. And, in fact, Newt even had the politeness to ask permission for it.

CONSERVATIVES: FIGHT LIKE NEWT

I wish Republican politicians would have faith in the largely conservative electorate and not behave as though they'll make themselves unelectable unless they pander to Generic Moderate. Who is that guy, anyway? Have you ever met him?

Recently, we've seen a few examples of the liberal narrative's rearing its oppressive head and starkly different reactions to it. The first was Mitt Romney's reportedly telling the Wall Street Journal that as a wealthy person, he thinks he lacks the credibility to aggressively push tax cuts. Mitt is also looking timid about releasing his tax returns. He needs to fight back - consistently - instead of surrendering to the liberal narrative that success is evil. Mitt should take a lesson from Newt Gingrich on counterpunching against false liberal charges and innuendo.

PASTOR SAYS, 'VOTING FOR MORMON ROMNEY IS BETRAYING JESUS CHRIST' -- FIVE MORMON CULT ERRORS EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD KNOW

"Obviously Mitt Romney is deceived. Do you want someone deceived by the Mormon cult in the White House?" says pastor Steven Andrew. He is president of USA Christian Ministries and author of "Making A Strong Christian Nation."

To help Christians understand the Mormon election issue he has written "Five Mormon Cult Errors." The errors are Mormons: 1) deny God, 2) preach another gospel, 3) hide the cross, 4) have occult practice and 5) are anti-Christian.

"Many people know that Mormons teach heresies like Jesus is the spirit brother of Lucifer. But do people know voting for Romney will bring God's judgment (2 Chronicles 19:2)?" he adds. "Voting for Romney or Obama who do not follow God causes the economy to decline and removes Christian freedoms (Deuteronomy 28, Leviticus 26)."

ENCOURAGE YOUR PASTOR TO PREACH A CREATIONIST SERMON

ON DARWIN DAY, FEBRUARY 12, 2012

Darwin Day is coming up on Sunday, February 12th, as the pagans celebrate the birthday of Charles Darwin, the man who rejected God and invented the false theory of evolution.

Charles Darwin rejected God and invented the false theory of macro evolution.

The San Antonio Bible-Based Science Association wants to urge you to contact your pastor and suggest that he might prayerfully consider preaching a creationist message on Darwin Day as well as distributing creationist church bulletin inserts that proclaim the Biblical truth. (Check out links to possible sermon outlines).

Christians understand that man is God's crowning glory to creation, made with a divine purpose in mind. The pagans believe that man is nothing more than an animal, or worse yet, just a bunch of chemicals and chemical reactions.

Sadly, too many Christians, who should know better, have themselves rejected the clear teaching of Scripture. They have tried to put some lipstick on Darwin's evolution pig by proclaiming a belief in "theistic evolution." In other words, they contend that (a) there is a God and (b) that God created the earth and all living things through macro-evolution.

To be honest, that is a lie straight from the pit of hell!

Shockingly, some Christians believe that God created through theistic evolution.

Werner Gitt, in an article entitled 10 Dangers of Theistic Evolution, explains:

"The atheistic formula for evolution is:

"Evolution = matter + evolutionary factors (chance and necessity + mutation + selection + isolation + death) + very long time periods.

"In the theistic evolutionary view, God is added:

"Theistic evolution = matter + evolutionary factors (chance and necessity + mutation + selection + isolation + death) + very long time periods + God.

"In this system God is not the omnipotent Lord of all things, whose Word has to be taken seriously by all men, but He is integrated into the evolutionary philosophy. This leads to 10 dangers for Christians including both the denial of central Biblical teachings and the fact that the Biblical basis of Jesus' work of redemption is mythologized."

The creation account in Genesis is not a fairy tale. It is both historically and scientifically accurate. It's time that Christ-followers take a stand against the teachings and celebration of Charles Darwin.

In anticipation of the Sunday, February 12th celebration and virtual idol worship of Charles Darwin in this post-Christian world, why not use the occasion of his birthday to educate, equip and empower Christians with the truth?

Whether you teach Sunday School, lead a Bible study, pastor a church or just desire to share the truth with your friends and family, the San Antonio Bible-Based Science Association has provided some helpful resources to make a difference!

It's time to draw a line in the sand. No longer will we allow the Darwinian evolutionists to turn unbelievers, much less the body of Christ, away from the truth of the Bible and ultimately away from God.

ACTION STEPS FOR ADAM'S ARMY:

1. Learn more about the vision that the San Antonio Bible-Based Science Association's vision to redeem Darwin Day on Sunday, February 12th for God, the Creator.

2. Print out and hand out a "Darwin Day flyer" which highlights the evils which evolutionist Charles Darwin inspired. You could use it as a church bulletin insert or as the foundation for a church bulletin insert.

3. Check out a 9-page, tongue-in-cheek presentation entitled "Thank you, Charles Darwin". This may be used for a single presentation or printed as additional flyers.

4. Look at a more in-depth statement chronicling the tragic results of Darwin's ideas.

5. Empower your pastor to take a stand for the truth of God's creation in the pulpit on Sunday, February 12th. Forward this e-mail to him with a personal note from you, urging him to use one of the four helpful sermon outlines as a starting place in his preparation. (Don't hesitate to follow-up with a polite phone call to make sure he received this forwarded email).

* Evolution, an Empty Philosophy

* The Bible and Theistic Evolution"

* The Case for Creation

* Creation and Evolution

6. Call Scott Lane of the San Antonio Bible-Based Science Association at 210.599.7240 or e-mail lanes_1@sbcglobal.net in order for one of their speakers to deliver a FREE, hour-long presentation -- complete with colorful Power Point slides -- on such topics as:

PLANNED PARENTHOOD'S MINISTERS AND MINIONS

By Bradlee Dean

Exclusive: Bradlee Dean explains why abortion is still illegal after 39 years of Roe
As the anniversary of Roe v. Wade approaches us this weekend, people need to understand that abortion was murder and illegal prior to, during and after the 1973 decision.

Planned Parenthood's Ministers and Minions. Would You Have Aborted These Famous People???

The law of Nature and Nature's God is perpetually in force throughout the earth. He specifically forbids the execution of an innocent life (Proverbs 6:17). Furthermore, the Constitution does not give any court the authority to make law. Judges can only render opinions that apply only to the parties that are before them.

A new report suggests that Barack Obama's claim to have overseen an increase in production of domestic oil and natural gas actually is backed up by the facts, but the accomplishment is more in spite of Obama rather than because of him.

The issue is addressed in a new Heritage Foundation report on energy production that reveals that oil and gas production on federal land, over which Obama and his appointees have jurisdiction, is down 40 percent.

OPEN LETTER TO GOV. PERRY; WELCOME BACK TO TEXAS

Welcome back to Texas, Governor! You got into this race to provide American conservatives with a choice in the Presidential race. We asked for a proven leader and you stepped up. Five months ago I hoped to be looking at a very different race than we are today but it wasn't in the cards.

The silver lining in this race for me (most texans really) has always been that we either got to have you serve as President, or you came back to finish out your four year term as governor of our great state. It's the rest of the country that lost out.
