Sixth Day Outdoor Ministry was founded by Darren Barnett in 2014. The name Sixth Day was birthed from Genesis 1:31 “And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.” God created the fish of the sea and the fowl of the air on the fifth day, but the sixth day is when He made the whitetail deer, mule deer, elk, and all the other big game animals. God then created mankind and gave dominion to manage His wonderful creation. Though hunting didn’t begin until after the Great Flood it is evident that God created hunting for man.

Darren Barnett was introduced to deer hunting at the young age of eleven. On his first day to the field his dad took a nice eight point and the heart pounding experience has developed into more than just a passion for the outdoors, it has become a way of life. Though hunting is exciting, the real life changing experience took place in September of 1992. Darren was nine years old when he was questioned about the time he accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior. After weeks of conviction the Word of God showed him his penalty for sin and the need for Jesus Christ. After arriving home from a Tuesday night revival meeting Darren called upon the name of the Lord to be saved!

In October of 2016, Sixth Day Outdoor Ministry was established as a non-profit religious organization. The goal is to help hunters first establish a relationship with Jesus Christ and teach sportsman how to become successful, not just in the field, but also through the battles of life. Luke 19:10 is the foundation of our mission: “For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” After a sportsman or sportswoman receives Christ, they will need guidance and direction in not just finding a church but having the right materials to carry out the Great Commission given in Mark 16:15. Seeking to reach the lost, Serving the local church, and supplying materials for the saint is our three-tier mission in fulfilling the call God has placed upon this ministry!

Darren Barnett is a full-time evangelist and available for meetings, conferences, revivals, game dinners, etc. Hunting can become an obsession and god to many people. Darren’s focus is to teach hunters how to have balance in their life and enjoy hunting without it controlling them.
