The reach of Shepherds' Haven extends far beyond the pastors who attend. Church leaders, deacons, and servants of the Lord have also advanced the cause of Christ by attending the conference. One such servant was Scott VanDyne. "Scotty" was not a pastor, but he was a servant of the Lord who loved pastors, especially those who attend Shepherds' Haven. Scott had a passion to invite friends and pastors to Shepherds' Haven each year often acting as a personal chauffeur. He would serve them throughout the week, and ensure their needs were met.

​

Scott was a master-builder of homes, but he also used these skills to be a blessing to churches and pastors by leading volunteers on construction missions projects, which he also contributed to financially (Luke 12:48 Ministries). Scott was a highly qualified preacher, and filled pulpits quite often. He was a shepherd to pastors. He used his wit and wisdom to provide comfort, care, counsel, prayer, and offered a fresh perspective on difficult circumstance. His policy was to drop whatever he was doing to answer a phone call from a pastor.
