Speaker: Deb Hetle

Deb will be sharing about sheep, and we are looking forward to how we will learn about our Great Shepherd through her stories and insights.

“Hi, I’m Deb Hetle. I presently live in Sioux Falls, having moved from near Cavour in 2020, with my husband Paul. We were blessed with a son, two daughters and now seven grandkids. When we aren’t watching our grandsons play sports, I enjoy camping, fishing, gardening, and anything music.

I grew up on a farm south of Huron. It was there that I was first introduced to the world of sheep. I attended Grace College of the Bible in Omaha, NE, where I met Paul and married. In 1987 we bought a small farm near Cavour. There our children grew up, and together we began our 22-year journey with sheep.

Over these years many animals came and went. Some I remember, many I do not. But as I simultaneously grew in my relationship with and love for my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the references to sheep I read in the Bible and our day-to-day encounters with our wooly friends collided. My family’s eyes were opened to understand why God calls us His “sheep” and the deep sacrificial love and compassion surrounding that relationship between the Good Shepherd and His sheep. I journaled many of these insights, and especially the story of one very special lamb. It will be a joy to share them with you. I pray that, through the stories of these amazing animals, hearts may be drawn to the Good Shepherd who gave His life for His sheep.”

Registration closes: Thursday, October 9th. If you would still like to attend, just give us a call,
605-352-7267.

Note: If you do not feel comfortable sleeping at camp, please feel free to sleep in your own bed and join us for all the activities.
