Jesus said “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. ” Matthew 4: 19 We are here to present you with a new yet effective net, with a proven method to produce disciples of Christ and growth to the local church body.

Over the past few decades, the martial arts have become a big potential ministry field within our culture. There an estimated 2 to 3 million people who practice the martial arts in the United States alone. Approximately 40% are children between the ages of 7 to 14.

Jesus said to Simon, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch. ” Luke 5: 4 We are here to ask that you pray and consider letting down the Shiloh Martial Arts net into the depths of your local community and allow Christ to fill your nets as only He can do.

The purpose of this ministry is to strengthen disciples and reach people with the gospel. This ministry is another “hook in the water” to reach people for Christ. ” – Dr. Tommy Snyder - Tommy Snyder Ministries • “Robert Blackstone's karate ministry is a first-class ministry.
