High Tech


Shannon and I have decided that a blog may be the easiest way to get information out on what is going on in the ministry God has given us. Since we seem to be slacking on update letters, we thought this might be an easier and more efficient way of updating our supporters.




For those of you who haven't heard from us in a while, Shannon has answered the Lord's call to Doe River Gorge Ministries. He is now a full time Assistant Activites Director. If you know anything about Shannon, you know that God has allowed him to do what he loves to reach young people. So while Shannon hangs from trees, tubes down the river, and jumps from VERY high places, he is able to tell others how much God loves them!


The last couple of months have found Shannon in the office a lot. Now is the time for planning the upcoming summer. Designing new activities, creating schedules, and assembling a summer staff have all been part of his days at the Gorge lately. With the great opportunity of summer ahead, plans must be made to ensure that everything goes smoothly.



Outside of the office, we have been able to enjoy the beautiful snow that God has blessed us with. White landscapes and HUGE forms of ice have decorated the Gorge for several of the last few days. It is amazing! Our niece, Sydney, was even able to come with us and enjoy some sledding and adventuring in all the white stuff!


After updating from the past months, we ask that you partner with us in prayer for the weeks that are ahead. We need for God to assemble the right group of young adults to be our summer staff. These young people will be able to minister to the Questers on a very personal level, and they assist Shannon in all functions of his ministry. They are a vital part of Doe River Gorge. With God in their hearts and lives, young people can be changed forever. We also need for you to pray that God will oversee the selection, designing, and construction of the new activities that will be added to Adventure Quest this summer. Although they are always loads of fun, it is a very serious process that we do not want to take lightly. Last but not least, we ask that you pray for God to strengthen us as we prepare for another action packed summer of ministry. This is a time when the devil would love to trip us up. However, we know that God has a bigger and better plan. With His guidance, anything is possible.
We appreciate all that you have done to make the ministry that God has blessed us with possible. Our support team is what keeps us going. We love you all and we look forward to serving with you in the coming year!
