Mid-South churches are known for going above-and-beyond when it comes to helping members of their congregation - whether it's a love offering to help after catastrophe or a simple hospital visit in a time of need.

But a small town church in central Arkansas is going even further by arming their Christian soldiers, come to church and get a gun!

The First Assembly of God Church outside Little Rock, Arkansas, hosted "Camo Day" this past weekend.

Giveaways for those in attendance include a Remington 870 12-gauge shotgun.
