Welcome to the Outdoors Network
The Outdoors Network International, Inc. was created for the outdoors enthusiast. Although our organization was formed in 2004, we have just launched this site in January of 2005.

By networking together we can more effectively impact our local communities in sharing our faith and passing along the traditions of our outdoors heritage that we so love. If you desire to work together with other outdoors enthusiasts or outdoors ministries, we invite you to come along for the adventure!

January 2020 Newsletter
Hello Everyone,
Welcome to 2020. I wanted to take a few minutes to share updated information about what has been going on at ONI this past year and where we are going in the coming year. 2019 was an exciting year for us. We have worked very hard to continue to expand our sphere of influence. By meeting the needs of others we continue to impact people's lives through our faith in God and the platform of the outdoor sports. Last year we continued to develop creative ways to reach out to individuals, groups, and organizations. Our venues in Alaska and Montana have been great tools to help us facilitate our mission. We have now seen a head count of over 500 people experience Alaska and hundreds of vets and kids at our Montana location. We have also worked in other places both locally and other states.
In the spring of 2019 we put out a plea to raise funds to build a new shop and staff building. I am happy to report that the building is now a reality. It still needs some finishing, but all materials are on site and paid for, thanks to folks like you. Our plan is to finish with our work crew in May.
We also hosted two prayer breakfasts last year with for SCI and Grand Slam Club Ovis. We hosted our first wedding at Miracle Bay and continued to bless families with the adventures of Alaska. Marriage enrichment has also been a focal point of impacting people. We have found there is tremendous need in this area and Miracle Bay has become a great place to address these issues.
We continue to develop our relationships with vet organizations . Honored American Veterans Afield was selected last year to receive THE SPIRIT OF HOPE award. This award is named after Bob Hope and is the highest award given to a civilian non-profit by the Department of Defense of the US. Good Job HAVA!!! Our friends at Magpul have continued to help us. They have just released a video and letter describing the experiences during our Montana fall hunts. This can be seen at Magpul.com. [Cold Weather Classroom, Magpul Montana]. We have also begun a new relationship with another vet group called The United States of Hope.This group focuses on assimilating vets back into society after their military service. We are honored to work with these groups to continue to meet needs in the veteran community.
Going into 2020 our main building focus will be on installing our new dock system at Miracle Bay. We have sent the first $15000 to get it started. The project will cost $60000 total. If you have a desire to help us, this is where the need is for 2020. This dock system is vital as the last piece to make Miracle Bay function at full capacity. It allows us to be able to accommodate people from all walks of life. Regardless of age or physical ability. We also have received a $10000 designated gift to begin building cabins at our Montana location. Our hope is to construct four cabins to address special physical needs.
We at ONI are very grateful for God's provision and protection. We are debt free and are blessed with some amazing assets. Looking at the coming year we are excited to see God work. We can do nothing without him and we rely on your continued support to fulfill our mission. God Bless
