Dawn Feely

Children’s Ministries Director

dawn@gifree.org

Dawn grew up on her family’s north central Nebraska farm/ranch as the literal daughter of a shepherd. She came to saving faith in the Lord as a young girl, due in part to her involvement in children’s ministries. She worked in agricultural marketing and public relations until her oldest child was born. After 10 years as a stay-at-home mom, she joined the staff team at GI Free and has been serving here for 15 years. She is wife to William and mom to adult children Andrew, Lauren, and Aidan. Andrew and Lauren are married with families and Aidan is a Biblical Studies major at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. She’s Nana to three precious girls.

Favorite books:

What the Bible is All About (Bible Handbook for Kids) by Frances Blankenbaker, Volunteers that Stick by Jim Wideman, and Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery. She likes reading biographies (currently making her way through DL Moody – a Life) and historical fiction.

Favorite verses:

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

Philippians 4:8-9
