Missionaries
Each month we pray for Missionaries that we support:
Sleep in Heavenly Peace
Sleep in Heavenly Peace is a national organization answering the call to a national problem. We fully believe that a bed is a basic need for the proper physical, emotional & mental support that a child needs. When it was brought to the attention of the national organizers that the need for beds went far beyond our own neighborhoods, they stepped up & took initiative. Sleep in Heavenly Peace is where it is today because of the passionate volunteers who believe in the mission of getting kids off the floor & into beds. In just a few hours of your time, you can make a direct, permanent impact in the quality of life for dozens, if not hundreds of kids in your community. We are fortunate enough to have a Sleep in Heavenly Peace right here in Spirit Lake serving the needs of children in Dickinson County & surrounding communities. Dave & Lisa Tentinger, the local SHP organizers, are so grateful for the support of the community & want you to know that every bed made with your help goes to a child who doesn’t have one of their own.
Global Ecumenical Partnerships
Global Ecumenical Partnerships connects, equips, and accompanies people in shared work and witness for God’s work in the world. The office brings together staff and ministries to advance partnership, equity, faithful ministry rooted in presence, relational accompaniment, and continued listening as we build forward. Global Ecumenical Partnerships encompasses three foci: international partnerships, U.S. partnerships, and the Presbyterian Hunger Program.
The office serves constituents — including mid councils, congregations, new worshiping and diaspora communities, ethnic caucuses, mission networks, ecumenical partners, and global partners such as local nonprofits and community-based connections — to advance shared ministry. GEP prioritizes locally discerned, partner-led initiatives, ensuring that shared witness follows relationships and that local wisdom guides decision-making.
