Daniel Wallace accepted the Executive Director position in 2004; leaving his former Director position at a camp near Tyler, Texas. Gull Lake Ministries has had its significant challenges, yet with their focused and prayerful efforts, Daniel’s committed team has seen a renewal take place in the guests, programs and finances.

Last week, I was privileged to visit my former Manhattan High cross country teammate at his Michigan family camp and conference center while traveling from a seminar in Lansing, MI to one in Fort Wayne, IN.

Daniel had limited time due to 600 ladies descending on the conference center the following morning. We visited for ninety priceless minutes; as is the value of time whenever one catches up with longtime friends. We reminisced about our commitment to teamwork, giving our best and winning against high odds. Daniel used to tap our sternum with his fingers, passionately saying, “You gotta want it.”

Daniel provided a tour of the magnificently picturesque Gull Lake Ministries campus, including the 52,000 sq. foot ministry center built two years ago (2009). Donations allowed a debt free completion. Yes debt free, in Michigan, a state suffering from the horrific economic downturn over the many years. Moreover, Gull Lake Ministries now enjoys healthy attendance throughout the year and a vibrant ministry serving churches, families and other non-profit organizations in this pristine lakeside setting.

Is Daniel is a great fundraiser? Contrary to secular logic, Daniel readily admits that he lacks passion or a great talent for fundraising. Daniel zealously focuses on ministry! The Gull Lake Ministries’ staff assists people in attaining knowledge of Christ and assisting believers in deepening their relationships with Christ. Gull Lake Ministries' focus on fulfilling their purpose for existing meets, with God’s grace, people's substantive needs for over 90 years, which in turn sustains their existence.

Daniel passionately strives to live out Matthew 6:25-34. He seeks first God’s kingdom and righteousness; knowing that in faith, all else will be added to all associated with Gull Lake Ministries. Daniel and the entire Gull Lake Ministries staff readily acknowledge Christ’s generous blessings as the source of all success.

Do you, like Daniel, have the passion to minister Christ’s love and Biblical truth to people? Focusing on and obeying Christ brings His blessing and peace which surpasses all understanding, providing everything you need to achieve Christ’s will for your life and ministry.

Are you in financial, spiritual or emotional debt? Do you feel as if you are stuck in a bad situation? Minister the pure Word of God to those placed in your path. Seek Christ first, He will provide your every need to irrigate souls with Christ’s love, forgiveness, mercy, compassion and Word.

Yes, in a few years span, during struggling economic times, Christ uses Daniel and his staff to revitalize this century old ministry as a place that continues transforming lives. What is possible through Christ in your life and ministry?

See Christ, Believe Christ, Achieve with Christ!
