Why We Do What We Do
At that moment, all eyes were on the skies. Some had never seen so many stars; for others, it was the first time they’d ever seen the Milky Way. As I rested on a rock, listening to the conversations around our camp, I thought to myself, “This is why we do what we do.” We’ve just wrapped up another incredible river trip season. In our 24th year of guiding people through the canyon along the Colorado River, God continued to amaze, astound, and inspire us at every turn. While exploring
Cedar Falls Bible Conference
I recently had the opportunity to speak at the 100-year anniversary of the Cedar Falls Bible Conference in Iowa. This 8-day event featured a separate youth track, designed for students eager to learn about biblical and creation apologetics, while also growing in their walk with Christ. I was thrilled to speak alongside my good friend Dave Glander. Dave and I first met on our Christian Leader’s Trip (CLT) through the Grand Canyon 10 years ago. We hit it off right away and have stayed in touch ever since. Dave

2022 River Trips Coming Soon!
As we ramp things up here at Canyon Ministries in preparation for our busy spring and summer season, we’re filled with excitement for all the incredible opportunities ahead. Our rim tours, walking tours, and hiking tours at the Grand Canyon are always a highlight, offering guests a chance to experience the canyon’s majestic beauty from a variety of perspectives. But we’re also looking ahead to the river trips—an adventure we hold close to our hearts. Not only are we eager for this season’s trips, but in just a
Our Refuge and Strength
The best thing we can do, sometimes, is simply to shelter in Him and trust Him to guide us through. Struggle. We all face it. It comes in many forms—physical, emotional, spiritual, and relational. During times of difficulty, we each have our own battles to fight. The weight of those challenges often feels overwhelming. The unknowns of tomorrow, the pain of today, and the fatigue from trying to keep going can leave us feeling weary. Yet, in the midst of struggle, there is a beautiful truth we can cling
What Will You See? – Waterfalls
One thing people on river trips through the Grand Canyon are often surprised by are the number of waterfalls we encounter. In such a drastically dry desert environment, seeing water cascading from canyon crevices is an unexpected delight. The Grand Canyon is home to numerous waterfalls, both large and small. The most well-known waterfall in the Grand Canyon would have to be Havasu Falls. Standing at the base of this tumbling torrent of turquoise and travertine whisks you away to another world — seeming an island paradise, rather than
Grand Canyon Snow
One of the surprising things to many who come to Northern Arizona is the fact that we have snow. And when I say snow, I mean not just a little, but quite a lot! In fact, Flagstaff is often listed as one of the top 10 snowiest cities in America each year. With the higher elevations and colder temperatures, we are no strangers to snowfall, and much of it settles around us during the winter months. While we see a fair amount of snow on the South Rim
River Rats Across the Pond
One thing I often tell people at the end of a rim tour or river trip is, “You’re now part of our Canyon Ministries family.” As you read this, you’re part of that family too. Recently, I returned from the United Kingdom after conducting a week-long biblical tour of London. This is something my wife and I typically organize every two years, offering an open invitation to people from around the world. Apart from all the sightseeing and adventure, during our London Christian Tour, we focus on three main
