LADIES MINISTRY

Available for your Ladies’ Event is Candise Farmer, sister of Jon Paul and wife of Rusty. Candise is an avid outdoorswoman, respected by many within the hunting community. She was born and raised in Paris, Tennessee, where she developed a love for the outdoors.

Over the years, the hardwoods and row crop acreage of West Tennessee have provided Candise with big and small game kills. Candise has been able to accomplish some noted feats in the field of hunting. In 2004, she earned her spot in the National Wild Turkey Federation Records. She completed her first single-season Grand Slam (along with her dad and brother, Jon Paul) and tagged the 8th heaviest Osceola ever registered. She also received the Tennessee River Longbeards Grand Slam Award.

She’s had several articles published in various respected outdoors publications, including Turkey Call, Turkey & Turkey Hunting, Women in the Outdoors, Wheelin’ Sportsmen, and The Christian Sportsman. She has instructed Tennessee Hunter Education Courses, and she has been featured in The Commercial Appeal.

Although blessed with various hunting accomplishments, Candise considers the most valuable aspect of her life her personal relationship with Jesus Christ. More precious to her than memories of longbeards taken or mounts of impressive whitetail bucks is her walk with the Creator of the universe. Drawn by God’s Holy Spirit and then gloriously saved at the age of eight, Candise began a journey with Jesus which she still cherishes.
