Shannon Cerneka and his partner (the No-Prize winning Orin Johnson) form Oddwalk Ministries.  Together, they provided music for us while we were at Our Lady of the Snows.  But after doing that, Shannon put on his other hat as a youth minister for St. Peter in Jefferson City, MO, and sat in through all the sessions.

For Shannon, we need to be able to recognize the many diverse settings “where young people are already involved.”  But, we also need to be multi-faceted in our approaches and appeals to young people.

As his young 4-year-old daughter reports, Shannon “works with Jesus,” and I believe that she is absolutely correct!
