Shawn Newhouse

On May 9, 2026, Shawn Newhouse, along with Team Shone Gerbe from Watermark Church, will be participating in the Amway River Bank Run in downtown Grand Rapids to  raise support for the youth center and marketplace in Shone. Learn more about Team Shone Gerbe and the project here.

I’m running the River Bank Run to support the Shone Marketplace & Youth Center in Shone Gerbe, Ethiopia through Children’s HopeChest. This isn’t just a race—it’s about hope. Together, we’re empowering families & local leaders with skills, health resources, and opportunities to break the cycle of poverty. I’m grateful to run alongside my Watermark Church team as we come together to support and uplift the Shone Gerbe community.
