THE HURLEY FAMILY ∙ Serving in Uganda
In 2002 Shannon established SOS Ministries. Four years later, he left the corporate world and moved to Uganda to serve the Ugandan people on a full-time basis. Shannon would tell you he’s just a normal guy who finds great joy in serving His King. He’s a proud dad who loves sports and competition, and is the coach of the Kubamitwe United soccer team.
Danielle is Mom to not only their eight children, but is also to the 25+ other young people who live in their home. She manages the important day-to-day details, keeping everyone healthy and happy while Shannon is busy and traveling with ministry responsibilities. Danielle is also involved in bible studies and women’s ministry in the village.
