NWFL Encounter's Faith & Fairways Golf Classic
Join us for our first-ever charity golf tournament benefiting the mission of NWFL Encounters on June 7, 2025 at Blackstone Golf Course in DeFuniak Springs, FL.
This event brings our community together for a day of fun while supporting a meaningful cause.
Making a Difference: How Your Help Changes Lives
  • Meeting Jesus: Your support helps people meet Jesus in ways that change their hearts and lives in ways that shape their future.
  • Sharing Good News: We help believers share Jesus' message with those who haven't heard it. This brings hope to people who need it most.
  • Helping People Heal: Your gifts help those who have faced trafficking, abuse, and addiction. We offer them healing and new purpose through Jesus' love.
  • Caring for Those in Need: We help people who are hurting or lost. We walk with them, teach them, and show them they matter to God.
When you give money or join our golf event, you do more than play golf. You help free people from problems, bring families back together, and spread God's love. Join us on the golf course and help make lives better!
Faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. James 2:17
