ABOUT

SGarrison Headshot_circle.png

Windswept Missions was born out of a passion to communicate

the life-giving love of Jesus to those in need.

 

Pope St. John Paul II said:

"The world needs saints.

All are called to holiness,

and holy people alone can renew humanity."

 

Through speaking, storytelling, and music, Windswept mission nights aim to make time and space for people to encounter the Living God in a new way and experience more deeply the fullness of life that Jesus came to bring.

 

This encounter is what ignites our love for God and the desire to become the saints we are called to be.

In addition to mission nights, we are also open for:

  • Youth & Young Adult Groups

  • Parish Leadership Teams

  • Musicians

  • Men's & Women's Events

Windswept was founded by Shaun Garrison, a missionary and worship leader who has devoted his entire life to making Jesus Christ known in the world.

Having worked six years in parishes in youth and music ministry, he then served for eleven years with FOCUS, the Fellowship of Catholic University Students. As a songwriter Shaun has recorded two full-length albums and one digital single. He has had the privilege of playing music for events across North America and Europe, leading more than 18,000 people in worship at World Youth Day 2016 in Krakow, Poland.

Shaun and his wife, Joy, have six amazing children and live in Denver, Colorado.

SURVEY: How Has the Coronavirus Impacted You? (COVID-19)

I invite YOU to share the effect of the pandemic in your life in the comments below… ____________________________________________________________________________________ Please answer the question: HOW HAVE I BEEN IMPACTED BY THE CORONAVIRUS? 1. WRITE YOUR {clean & respectful} COMMENT --Please include your city, state/province, and/or country 2. JOIN IN PRAYING FOR OTHERS ____________________________________________________________________________________ During this time of global pandemic, it seems that people are experiencing its effects in many, varied ways. How COVID-19 has influenced us ranges from mild to severe, from inconvenient to fatal. For the sake of bringing the global community together in even a small way, I invite you to leave a comment sharing your experience of this pandemic and how it has touched your life. As Christians in particular, it is important for us to live in solidarity with the people of God worldwide, and it’s difficult for that to happen when we are even more isolated than usual from the lives of others. “If one member suffers, all suffer together… Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it.” (1 Cor 12:26-27) “First of all, then, I ask that supplications, prayers, petitions, and thanksgivings be offered for everyone…” (1 Tim 2:1) Thank you for your time and prayers...be blessed! ____________________________________________________________________________________ MUSIC: There Is Life Heaven & Earth by Shaun Garrison (c) 2014 Shaun Garrison.

AMONG THORNS

A reflection on the Christian call to self-denial as a means to living a fruitful life. "And as for what fell among the thorns, they are those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not mature." (Luke 8:14) "A love of pleasure, and attachment to it, usually fires the will toward the enjoyment of things that give pleasure. A more intense enkindling of another, better love (love of the soul's Bridegroom) is necessary for the vanquishing of the appetites and the denial of this pleasure. By finding satisfaction and strength in this love, it will have the courage and constancy to readily deny all other appetites."
