Shelby and Sheree began a journey in 1998 that has led to the adventures of Majestic Outdoor Adventures.  From 1999 - 2001 they worked as youth leaders in their local church.  As they sought to gain a fuller understanding of ministering to disadvantaged youth they looked for ministry and training opportunities with troubled youth.  In 2001 they both entered into a one-year commitment to serve the criminal and severely troubled youth in Colorado Springs, CO at the Dale House Project an affiliate of Young Life Ministries.  Shelby and Sheree received thorough training, experience and seminary coursework focused on the work with troubled and Christian youth.  After their commitment was fulfilled they returned to Missouri.  In February of 2003 after prayer and fasting the Lord distinctively led them to start Majestic Outdoor Adventures and begin the 4 phases of ministry.  Shelby today serves as the Executive Director of MOA, while being active in mentoring, discipleship, and leadership.  Sheree currently serves MOA as the Executive Secretary as well as fulfilling her call to motherhood to their 3 little MOA outdoorsmen and 1 little lady.

Brandon and Kelli were both educators before entering full time ministry in May of 2002.  After serving almost 5 years at Trail's End Ranch in Ekalaka, MT they joined MOA in November of 2006.  Mr. Bodenhausen currently serves as the Senior Director of MOA and is involved in all four phases of the program.  Mrs. Bodenhausen serves as the Administrative Assistant and spends much of her time raising their two boys River and Eben.
