Missionaries

Each month we pray for Missionaries that we support:

  • Lakeshore Center on Okoboji, 1864  Hwy 86, Milford, IA 51351

Lakeshore Center on Okoboji (Presbyterian Camp on Okoboji) has been supported by First Presbyterian Church as they serve over 480 campers in a summer.   In a time of increasing development and technology it is great to have a place for God’s children of all ages to come and experience God. Our church has been a supporter of the growing ministry and the construction of a new Retreat Center.  The Retreat Center gives the camp the ability to minister on a year-round basis to adults as well as children. Our church member volunteers remain active in improving and maintaining building and grounds at the camp.

Aaron is working as the Operational Director for the student ministry of Agape (Campus Crusade in Western Europe). He also works part time with the local campus ministry in Riga, Latvia. Aaron helps provide leadership to 17 countries and works on expanding their ministry to 5 other countries where they have no ministry. First Presbyterian has supported Aaron and Deb since 1996.
