NEW HOME (August 17, 2009)--Services were pending Monday for a Texas youth minister whose body was found at Palo Duro Canyon where he’d gone on a solo hiking trip.
New Home Baptist Church Pastor Calvin Gray said Monday Nathan Neel joined the staff in early August.
Gray told The Associated Press that Neel, 24, went to Palo Duro Canyon, near Amarillo, before with other people.
Gray says he believes this time Neel "wanted to go by himself to spend time with God."
Neel went hiking Friday morning.
His body was found hours later.
Gray says he spoke with Neel's family and relatives believe the death was an accident.
An autopsy was ordered.
Neel previously was a youth intern at Bacon Heights Baptist Church in Lubbock, where a service was planned.
Palo Duro Canyon is about 120 miles north of New Home.
