Global Spotlight | Dan & Meehan Shannon
The Carpinteria campus has the blessing of hearing from Dan and Meehan Shannon this Sunday. Dan and Meehan currently live in Denver, Colorado, but since they were married God has lead them on a crazy adventure living in both South Africa and Hawaii for a time. During this spotlight they will be giving an update on all the beautiful things God is leading their family into in this next season. Daniel and Meehan Shannon are long-term missionaries who have spent a majority of their married life in South Africa and Northern India. This week, Daniel and Meehan are visiting Carpinteria at their home campus celebrating the 1 year birthday of their son, Ryder McCoy Shannon. Four months after Daniel and Meehan were married, they moved from Santa Barbara to Cape Town, South Africa. While there, they focused on simple church planting within impoverished communities and worked with an NGO preventing baby dumping called, Baby Safe. Daniel and Meehan have also invested into Northern India since 2005, most recently forming a Bible course within a monastery for Tibetan Buddhist monks. They have just been asked to take on the directorship of Baby Safe and are currently praying into this opportunity. In the mean time, the whole family will be going back to Northern India this summer to help continue a Bible course with the monks there. For more information about Daniel and Meehan, their ministry, and to receive monthly newsletters email: dan.awaken@gmail.com. |
