I have been involved with SYC for 6 years
now and it has been a tremendous blessing. I
am fortunate that my workplace hosts hunts
for this group. It is a life changing
experience to spend a weekend with Ed and
the children. I look forward to many more.

It was five years ago that I became
acquainted with SYC and the purpose that
they serve. Although we have the best dove
field in Walton County, I have not fired a
shot in those five years. Suffice it to say,
I now get my enjoyment from watching kids
"shoot for their first time" at passing
doves and they never know that I am watching
and listening. It does my heart good and I
experience that visceral feeling of
accomplishment through them as if it were my
first time on the field.
SYC is a wonderful organization that
solicits, encourages, and sponsors children
with handicaps or terminal illness to
experience the "excitement" that we
"hunters" take for granted as we have done
so all our lives. We truly do not know what
a blessing from "God" has been bestowed upon
us.
It has been a pleasure dealing with Ed
Persky and Kenny Anglin on these hunts over
the years and we desperately seek support
from business owners in the sport/hunting
field. These children need help and we are
doing everything we can to support them.
The intent of SYC is to introduce targeted
children to otherwise "impossible sporting
events" enabling them to go from "I can't
syndrome to the "I can and I did"
experience. In so doing, it garners parental
involvement for a rewarding event. That
said, it brings the whole family into the
outdoor sportsman realm and propagates more
people in the management of "outdoor
renewable resources."
Special Youth Challenge of Georgia is a
beacon of light for teenagers with handicaps
or terminal illness. One would have to go
far and long to find a more sincere and
loving staff to look over them. We sincerely
hope that others will find out about these
endeavors and support us in our efforts to
support this cause.

Our two boys are really enjoying being a
part of the Special Youth Challenge
Ministries of Georgia. We appreciate the
hunting trips we have been on so far and
look forward to even more fun times.
One of the things we really like about SYC
is the fellowship with other families of
children with special health care needs or
circumstances. SYC tries to accommodate
everyone's needs in order to allow anyone to
hunt or fish, even with limited mobility.
Our family has met and become friends with
so many people as a result of the SYC, and
we are thankful for that as well.

Where to start? Special Youth Challenge
Ministries of Georgia is AWESOME! I just
can't express in words how great this
wonderful organization is for special
children. I have seen how SYC has touched so
many children firsthand. Mr. Persky has
helped so many children build confidence in
themselves that they lacked for most of
their lives. Not to mention the special bond
that they form with others like them. I know
that the thought of guns and children,
especially handicapped children, is not
pleasant, but think of the positives. Mr.
Persky and SYC teaches these youths the
PROPER use of a gun. They are taught safety.
They are taught of the Lord and all His many
blessings, as well. At the events, there's
gospel singings, Bible Studies, prayers, and
new friendships. You would not believe the
volume of new friendships that are formed.
I have seen
families grow closer because of SYC. I am
sure that there has been times when special
children have felt left out because their
dads would go hunting or fishing and they
couldn't go. But SYC and Mr. Persky create a
bridge to bring this problem to an end. They
make devices and special adaptors to help
them overcome their obstacles.
It is just
so wonderful what SYC has done and is
continuing to do. After all, today's
children are tomorrows leaders. Phil. 4:13
"I can do all things through God who
strengthens me."
