Missionaries

Each month we pray for Missionaries that we support:

KJIA is a Christian radio station broadcasting within a 50 mile radius of Okoboji, IA.  They play traditional, praise, and inspirational music, and promote positive, encouraging listening through music and teachings.  KJIA is funded through free-will gifts while partnering with area churches.  Besides their music programming, they also provide children’s, Christian-based sports, and outdoor programs on Saturday mornings.  We have supported KJIA for many years.
