The Team
Hi there! My name is Cheyenne Knepp and I have lived here in Canon City, CO, for about 12 years. When I’m not cleaning houses, barista-ing at a coffee shop, or helping my dad flip houses, I enjoy creating art, reading good books, and traveling to interesting places. One trip that has really impacted my life, is when I spent 6 months in southeast Asia on GTO’s Ultra program. I learned so much about who God is and about my identity in Christ. I often found myself wishing that I could have a deeper understanding of those things when I was younger. I am so incredibly excited to be a part of The Venture where young girls can learn these things in such a powerful way!
Hello my name is Monica Miller. I am Colorado born and raised and love any time spent camping, exploring, or hiking in the mountains. I also have a special place in my heart for girls 13-15. The desire to mentor and encourage these fun and full-of-potential young women is what led me start Vibrant Girl Magazine four years ago, where I am still the Editor-in-Chief. So, when I was asked to help with The Venture it felt like a niche-fit in many ways. But I also know that our week together will not just stretch the girls – but me as well. I’m on the edge of my seat in anticipation. I can’t wait to see what God is going to show us through our time together!
Hello, my name is Victoria Troyer. I grew up in Ohio until I was 19 years old. I then moved out to Colorado with my parents to serve at New Horizons Ministries. A few years went by and my parents decided to move back to Ohio, and at that time I decided to stay. I’ve now lived in Colorado for nearly 7 years. I work in the office for New Horizons. I’m 26 years old, still daily learning truth about Jesus and myself. I’m excited for the opportunity to be a part of The Venture, to see the impact this time will have on these young ladies and us leaders as well!! Please be in prayer for us as we plan, that God would lead us with courage and clear direction! Thank you!!

Hey there beautiful friend, I’m Bonita Miller. I am a wife to my best friend, Matthias, and mom to 4 amazing babies. I enjoy running, reading, hanging out with friends, and coffee, lots of coffee. 🙂 My two sweet princesses are part of the reason I am so excited to see The Venture come to life. Having The Venture start is a long dream of mine. Looking back I see how much I would have benefited from something exactly like this when I was a teenager. Being a teenager is hard and I feel like you learn a lot about God, yourself, and relationships during those years. My dream, actually God’s dream I believe coming to life, is to empower young women, like you, to walk in who God has created you to be. To live fully and freely in His love. To live beyond yourself and fully immersed in God and the work He wants to do in and through you. You are a mighty warrior princess. At times, we forget. We forget who God has called us to be, we fall back into the lies the enemies whispers to us, we forget how incredibly loved we are. I desire for this to be a week that forever changes your world. To give you tools to fight off the lies, build lasting friendships, and take you into deeper worship with your Father. I am so so excited about having you join us on The Venture. Know you are prayed for already. ❤️
