Troy Gunderson
This year’s speaker will be our very own Executive Director, Troy Gunderson. He is excited to share the many stories and experiences he’s had over the last 26 years of ministry in the Jamestown area. Troy was born and raised in Minot ND and was a student in YFC. In fact, he even met his high school sweetheart, Sheri, in YFC. After college he became a volunteer and later joined the staff of Minot YFC. He was called to Jamestown in 1997 as Executive Director. Sheri and Troy have four children and 5 grandchildren. Troy has lots of creative talent and his fun personality and passion for the Gospel will no doubt leave you in tears of laughter and joy. He has recently become a published author of a fiction work titled The Prairie Comrade. We have been blessed to have Troy for so many years and look forward to many more. We hope you can join us for this fun and inspirational evening.

Our 2021 Guest
Dustin Tavella
Dustin is an amazing illusionist with an incredible heart for people and the love of Jesus. One of Dustin’s philosophies as it relates to reaching people for Jesus is, “Find people and do life with them.” Dustin spent six years in the mission field and has a passion for the homeless. Through their work with young women in pregnancy centers, he and his wife, Kari, were blessed to adopt two little boys. Illusions are one of the tools that Dustin uses to communicate what God has done in his life and the lives of others. He has recently been featured on the television show America’s Got Talent and is quickly becoming a top rated performer. We are excited to have Dustin with us and we know you will be amazed and blessed by both his performance and his heart for Jesus.
