We gotta do something about that!
In August of 2012 my family and I traveled from MN to AZ to prayerfully consider serving the kingdom through Canyon Ministries. Naturally, a portion of our time was spent at the south rim of the Grand Canyon. We chose to view the film offered at the Visitor’s Center near Mather Point. It is a remarkable film that expresses the magnificence of the Canyon until it gets to the presentation of its formation. As the narrator dramatically tells how the Colorado River formed the canyon over millions of years, people throughout the theatre responded with verbal expressions of acceptance and even awe. Monte (our then 13-year-old son) was taking this all in and noticing the reactions of the people in the theatre. As we were walking out, I heard Monte say to my wife (Kathleen) that people were actually believing what they had just heard. Kathleen responded to his comment by telling him that the millions of years explanation is all many people hear. Monte responded by saying, “We gotta do something about that!”
Indeed we are doing something about that. We just finished an exciting river season with many lives changed, I am doing a private rim tour for a family from California in 2 weeks, and we now own a bus. Full Canyon Ministries rim tours will be happening very soon. Keep an eye on our website for further updates. See you at the Canyon!
PRAISEALLUJIA!
