The Staurolite Foundation
A staurolite is a stone that grows in the shape of a cross.
We exist to renew strength and brotherhood for wounded military personnel — through meaningful hunting and fishing experiences, and the appreciation they so richly deserve.
Our Mission
To bring the light of the world to individuals and communities through education, leadership, and recreational activities.
What We Do
We foster fellowship, restore purpose, and strengthen lives in service to the Lord for His glory.
Fishing Trips
Future: Retreats
“Upon this rock I will build my church.”
Matthew 16:18
From the founder
We're not in the hunting business.
We're in the healing business.
The healing happens around the dinner table. It happens at the fire at night. It happens when a Vietnam vet who came home fifty years ago hears thank you for the very first time and something inside him changes.
We don't preach. We don't judge. We pray, and we take them hunting. The Good Lord plants a seed; we let Him water and fertilize. We have more people lining up to help than we can use.
Are you a wounded vet who would benefit from a trip?
We don't require a Purple Heart. We give priority to combat-wounded, then service-related, then service-time injuries. Reach out — we'd love to hear your story.
