One of the unique places to which Jimmy traveled in 2009 was Shipshewanna, IN,
a few miles east of Notre Dame. There he delivered an after-dinner speech to
approximately 600 people, many of them Amish. The event was the Midwest
Select Deer Breeder’s Auction, where top deer breeders spent over $3 million
dollars in a 24-hour period of time. Jimmy mentioned the SOA Bible giveaway
and the need for funds, and several thousand dollars was donated by the crowd
after the event as people came by Jimmy’s booth and dropped donations in a
box or pledged part of their profit from sales during the weekend. All of this
happened by the invite of the man who owns the auction company - Jerry
Campbell. Thanks Jerry and the good folks from the Deer Breeder’s Association!
Many people will receive Bibles because of you!
