Missionaries
Each month we pray for Missionaries that we support:
-
Discovery House
1411 Hill Ave.
Spirit Lake, IA 51360
Mission Statement: Discovery House provides a safe, supportive, Christian environment for homeless adults and those recovering from addictions. Residents receive counseling and the tools to begin to build a new foundation for a better life. Residents live by general house guidelines, attend 12 Step meetings and maintain jobs in the community while staying clean and sober. They are given food, shelter, clothing and spiritual guidance. Discovery House was started in 1993 at its current location by Phyllis Kempema and has undergone renovation over the years with help from many volunteers.
- Rev. Janet Guyer
Janet Guyer is a PC(USA) mission coworker in the Republic of South Africa serving as Facilitator for Women’s and Children’s Interests. Janet accompanies African partners as they strive to address the marginalization of women and children in their communities. She assists with strategic planning, works with women leaders as they seek to expand their skill sets, supports initiatives that promote the well-being of women and children, and encourages relationship building among women across Africa. She also engages with Presbyterian Women and other US constituencies who wish to come alongside and promote these efforts. First Presbyterian Church has supported Janet since 2013.
