Both his grandfather and father were pastors. He received Christ as his Savior, as a boy of 10 years, at the altar of the church on a Sunday evening. As a high school student he had a great deal of athletic success but did not find that it satisfied the deep longing of his heart. He came to realize that God wanted his full devotion. “I remember coming before Him and offering my life as a ‘living sacrifice’,” Scott says. “In that moment I remember the Spirit flooding my life with an amazing sense of God’s presence and an inner peace filling my heart freeing me of the inner struggle that I once carried. I realized that something had happened within me whereby my life was fully ‘hidden with Christ in God’.” Following high school graduation Scott came to NNC with a desire to be a teacher and a coach, determined to take a different path than his grandfather and father. However God had a different plan and began dealing with Scott’s heart. In his sophomore year, during a chapel service, God’s call upon his life became very clear. He immediately changed his major and was able to graduate from NNC with a degree in religion. Following his education at NNC and NTS he was ordained in 1986. We Rev. Shaw describes himself as a “churchman” and a “sports fan.” He has served on the District Advisory Board, NNU’s Board of Trustees, NNU’s Executive Committee, as well as the WaPac district in leadership capacities. Scott is a good administrator, visionary leader, team player, and team builder. Scott describes himself as a ”’big picture’ guy (with) a great need to gather around me those who have gifts working with the details.” What really fires him up is discovering the ways that God can transform his life and the lives of those around him into the likeness of Jesus. Scott and his wife Vicki are deeply committed to their marriage and their family. They have a son (Jeffrey) living in the Seattle area and a daughter (Katelyn) and son-in-law who have recently moved to Italy. Vicki grew up in Prosser, WA where her parents were committed laypersons. She attended both NNC and Eastern Washington University. She has a degree in Dental Hygiene. Vicki is a strong and quiet leader with a great burden that people pray. Rev. and Mrs. Shaw will be joining the Intermountain District family in early June. want to say a BIG thank you to our Intermountain District family. Your kind words, expressions of love, best wishes, and generosity were so very thoughtful. You could not have done more to make us feel loved and appreciated. Thank you for the wonderful reception, the many cards, the personal expressions of thanks, and the incredibly generous gift of the 2014 Toyota Highlander. Nampa is our home and the Intermountain District is our district family, so we will enjoy the years ahead as we see God at work in your lives and churches. I am very pleased to be able to pass the “DS baton” to my friend Scott Shaw. Although we are not yet making specific plans, we know God will continue to lead in our lives and use us in ways that He sees fit. We love you all.

We have received many nice compliments about this. I am glad you enjoyed putting a face with the name. Thanks to the many who picked up prayer cards to pray specifically for each of our summer camps. We know it makes a big difference. Work Week ’15 is scheduled for Thursday, May 21 – Sunday, May 24. We have several small projects planned in addition to the usual cleaning, mowing, weeding, spraying, and overall maintenance of the buildings and property to be ready for the summer camp season. We are scheduled to put up the worship tent Friday morning at 10:00. This is a big project and we can use many hands. You may not be able to spend the entire week but join us for a day or two. We look forward to your participation in Work Week ’15. Be sure and call the camp at 208-382-6200 and make your reservation so we have space reserved for lodging and food.
