The stated goal of Cross Trails Outfitters (CTO) – a National Christ-centered Ministry is to guide “The Next Generation to Christ Through the Outdoors”. From their testimonials and growth across the United States, CTO is beginning to have some phenomenal success rescuing the next generation of young boys and young men (ages 7-20) off the streets.  Based and anchored out of Plymouth North Carolina, this exciting Outdoors ministry, which teachings these young men how to hunt and fish in God’s creation, while learning the Bible, now has a solid presence in Illinois.

CTO was brought to Champaign, Illinois by former WWE Professional Wrestler Bear St. Pierre who left that field of work, after SMACKDOWN in 2010. Since then, Bear has thrown his entire life focus, energy and resources into making CTO a presence in all 102 Counties of Illinois. BMIC was humbled and blessed to be invited to SCHEELS Sporting Goods in Springfield, Illinois to witness the launch meeting. Bear St. Pierre is the Illinois state director of CTO explains more about CTO.
