Ignite Church, in Joplin, MO, announced on their Facebook page that they would be raffling off two Black Rain AR-15′s for Father’s Day. Their aim was to connect with more men ages 18-35 in the local area, and it sure did work.

Ignite Church’s pastor, Heath Mooneyham, is a bit of an unconventional guy himself. He sports a mohawk and recently made the switch to playing loud rock music during church services to draw in a younger crowd. Mooneyham calls the lack of young men who attend church these days, “the biggest black hole in our society”. He says of his church’s gun raffle:

“If we can get more people to follow Jesus, I’ll give away 1,000 guns. I don’t care.”
