Centershot is a program that teaches archery skills with a focus on sharing Christ with others. The past two years, Centershot has been held at the Action Impact complex, which is located just off of Hopewell Road in Elverson a couple of miles outside of French Creek State Park. Three years ago, Bob and Dottie Gerhart were introduced to Centershot when viewing the hunting channel. Kevin Vogt, professional archer and Centershot trainer from Minnesota, personally came to Action Impact and provided instruction to all who were being trained to teach archery. He guided the leaders through the NASP (National Archery in the Schools Program). The Centershot courses that have been run at Action over the past two years have been exciting for both instructors and families who participated.
This year, there is a group of returning instructors who have been working with Bob and Dottie since April 2013. Centershot is a six week course that will be held on Saturday mornings promptly at nine o’clock. The next Centershot course will begin on April 11 and end May 16. Each lesson builds on the one preceding it. This is a wonderful opportunity for families to be involved together. Parents, grandparents, teens, and elementary-aged children are all welcomed to participate. Past participants have ranged from grandparents helping their grandchildren to a single mom helping her son. This is a free outreach, but donations are appreciated. Please call Bob and Dottie Gerhart at 484-651-1047 to register.
Also, Kevin Vogt, has invited Bob and Dottie, and any interested Centershot instructors to go to South Africa on a ten day short-term mission trip in August. Sponsorship is requested for this profitable time of teaching archery, sharing the gospel of Christ, and helping families in the schools in South Africa. Josh Kochel has also decided to join Bob and Dottie and the Centershot Ministry group. If interested in sponsoring us, please contact us at 484-651-1047.
