MISSION STATEMENT
Peterson Outdoors Ministries' (POM) mission is to provide faith based outdoor recreational therapy for injured and recovering Veterans and their families, 1st Resonders as well as youth and adults with disabilities or terminal illness.
MORE ABOUT US
Peterson Outdoors Ministries is a 501 (c)3 non-profit organization with a governing board of directors. It was founded in 2006 to provide hope, healing, and restoration for veterans, and their families, as well as those with disabilities and serious illness. With an emphasis on veterans, and those with disabilities, Peterson Outdoors Ministries has expanded its outreach to include First Responders, Military Chaplains, Gold Star and Blue Star Families. POM's recreational therapy has expanded over the years to included the following states: Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Tennessee. POM also does events in Canada. Thousands of Veterans, family members, Military Chaplains, First Responders and those with disabilities or life-threatening illnesses, have been helped from over 30 states and 2 countries. Over three dozen Veteran suicides have been prevented that we know of, and many more have been prevented through our support programs and partners. Many Veterans, and those with disabilities, have returned to volunteer throughout the years which is a testimony to the organizations success. The Lodge of Hope, another tool of Peterson Outdoors Ministries, is a 7,000 sq. ft. disabled accessible lodge located on 210 acres in Missouri, with a 35 acre private lake. Lodge of Hope is the headquarters of Peterson Outdoors Ministries and serves as a year-round retreat center where veterans, first responders, and those with disabilities, can come and partake in therapeutic outdoor activities such as deer, turkey, and waterfowl hunting, as well as fishing, boating, kayaking, nature walks, and more! All of this is designed to bring hope, restoration, and renewal for those who come to The Lodge of HOPE!

Greeting's,
As our nation continues to experience uncertain times Peterson Outdoors Ministries has been a beacon of Hope to our military veterans and their families, first responders, and those with disabilities. Thousands of lives have been impacted and ministered to over the years through events such as fishing adventures, turkey and deer hunts, waterfowl hunts, dove hunts, kayaking, horseback riding and more.
Peterson Outdoors Ministries also provides Men’s Encounter Retreats for both Veterans and First Responders. These high impact retreats are life changing and held at the Lodge of Hope located near Bellamy Missouri.
Our ministry and our events are constantly evolving as opportunities arise, so stay tuned for things to come and be ready to jump on board with us as we press on toward the goal. Thank you for partnering with us and for your prayer and your continued support of this ministry! Together we can make a difference in the lives of those in need.
