Dear Family and friends,
It’s wild to look back and see how fast the past 15 years have gone by. When the Lord first placed the vision for Ride Nature on our hearts back in 2009, we never could have imagined all He would do through it. We’re continually humbled and encouraged by the incredible team of leaders we get to serve and lead alongside, people who share the same heart to see lives transformed around the world through action sports.
On the home front, our family is doing great! Shannon is homeschooling and doing an incredible job. We’re currently serving on the leadership team at our church here in Fort Myers, Fort Myers Community Church. We are so thankful to be surrounded by such an amazing community of people.
We want to thank each of you for supporting our family through your prayers, encouragement, and financial partnership as we continue to give our lives fully to serving the Lord in full-time ministry. We’re confident that this is exactly where the Lord has called us and where we’re meant to be. There’s truly nothing else we could imagine investing our lives into than serving Him and building His Kingdom. Thank you for being a part of this journey and for standing with us in the mission.
Until EVERY ear hears…we will keep bringing the Good News of Jesus Christ to the ENDS of the earth!
- Mark, Shannon, Ellis, Nollie, and Willow
