OUR MISSION
2016 Annual Report 3
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
– 2 Corinthians 3:19
A Christian Ministry in the National Parks embodies and extends the ministry of Jesus Christ through worship, witness and the development of Christian leaders. When we send young persons to the parks, we ask them to create a community centered on Jesus that gives a freedom filled life to those who partici-pate. As one general manager of a concession-aire said to me, “ACMNP creates community that gives life rather than destroys life.” When people come to the park, we respond to the deep hunger for many to belong to something as they set off on the adventure of living in a national or state park. We provide a gathering of people who have discovered the amazing news that in Christ, they can be free to live an abundant life that lets them thrive at their work and with their friends. God’s creation, the parks, provides a place where Christian community takes place and allows people to confront the deepest questions of life.
I am inspired by the Christian communi-ty our ministry creates as it fulfills our vision to develop Christian leaders throughout the national and state parks for the sake of the world. God is asking us to increase our pres-ence in the parks and we are embracing the task. 2016 was another important year for ACMNP. We increased the number of minis-try team members who served in 35 national and state parks by 31% to 298 ministry team members. We started a ministry team in Bad-lands National Park this year. The impact trips were a significant addition to our program as we led two groups in Zion National Park this year; one from Cascade Christian High School and another from Purdue University. Financial-ly, 2016 was our strongest year in 65 years. We raised over 950k, excluding investment gains, and held our expenses to 834k. People
are resonating with the renewed vision of the ministry to develop Christian leaders for the world through the national and state parks. We can’t thank you enough for your support and encouragement.
The 2016 Centennial celebration of the National Parks took place last year as well as the 65th anniversary of A Christian Ministry in the National Parks. I’m particular grateful for our founders this year as Warren and Nancy Ost didn’t go into traditional ministry but took the risk in the wilderness as they provided Christian ministry in these places of beauty and wonder. We carry the mission forward into 2017 and are extremely grateful for the renewed support and gifts to help us fulfill the vision to develop Christian leaders in the national and state parks for the sake of the world. Thank you for joining us.
Thank you for joining us.
Joyfully,
Rev. Dr. Spencer LundgaardExecutive Director

<AddrSal> <Address> <City>, <State> <Zip> Dear <Salutation>, We are very grateful for your 2016 giving to A Christian Ministry in the National Parks totaling <2016Gifts>. Your generous contribution helped us raise over $600,000 for the 2016 calendar year. Because of your 2016 support, we were able to: Place 298 ministry team members in 35 parks; including opening up the Badlands National Park. Lead park employees and guests in 130 worship services each week. Train 112 Ministry Team Members in a unique leadership assessment.
Please accept our gratitude!!!
Ministry team members also walked away impacted and changed by their service with ACMNP.
“I learned that it’s okay to not have all of the answers…to be afraid of the unknown…but time and time again, God has shown me that when we put our trust in him, He will always come through with what is best for us. His plans
are always better, even if they don’t always seem like it at the time.” – Sarah, Glacier, 2016
“Much of the summer was actually spent tackling conversations of cultural diversity and reconciliation. We saw many injustices and mistreatment of our international workers, and I was able to sit down and truly just listen to
their stories and aspirations. I go into this next school year renewed with the fact that God is working in all circumstances, across all nations, and present in all lives. Justice is present in Christ.” – Evan, Yosemite, 2016
“The most challenging part was overcoming the barriers that growing up in a suburban neighborhood put
between me and my coworkers who were drinking, smoking, and doing drugs. Once I realized that they are just like us, they are people with struggles; relational ministry was SO much easier."– Kate, Yellowstone, 2016
In 2017 ACMNP plans to: Recruit 390 ministry team members to impact 40 national and state parks through
additional programming opportunities. Enlist 150 team members to grow through our Leadership Assessment tool. Empower and scatter 10 ministry team leaders through our highly selective Advanced
Leadership Development program. The future is bright for our ministry. I am so thankful for your support and continued partnership. Joyfully, Rev. Dr. Spencer L. Lundgaard Executive Director
