What Families Say
Hear from families whose lives have been touched by Odyssey of Faith.
“Odyssey of Faith is so incredible. It is truly an answered prayer. As I wrote this, I cried and praised God on repeat because I remembered crying out to God for this before I moved to Central Oregon. Such an answered prayer. PRAISE GOD.”
- Jeanine P.
“As Christians we are called to have the faith of a child, faith that has no doubt no fear just pure trust in our father. The opportunity to help shape that faith in children and share the type of love Jesus has freely given us is an honor and a blessing. The family at Odyssey, guided by Christ, aims to do just that.”
- Luke S.

Sawyer & Sami Meek
Founders
We are a husband-and-wife team united by faith, love, and a shared calling to serve others. Outside of our ministry, we enjoy spending time in God’s creation—whether it’s hiking wooded trails, fishing, solving puzzles together, or gathering around a campfire. These moments remind us of the simple joys of life and the beauty of God’s handiwork. It’s our joy and privilege to walk alongside others in their walk of faith.
