MISSION STATEMENT
Peterson Outdoors Ministries' (POM) mission is to provide faith based outdoor recreational therapy for injured and recovering Veterans, and their families, as well as youth and adults with disabilities or terminal illness.
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 Military Chaplains, Gold Star and Blue Star Families, First Responders, and Police Officers.
POM's recreational therapy has been expanding to the following states: Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Tennessee and to the Countries of Canada, Africa, and the UK.
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 200 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, 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!
As of 5/10/2020 From the Desk of POM Director Tron Peterson
To our POM Family and Friend's
As our Nation and States and Cities begin to surface following the storm of COVID-19 we as a ministry are beginning to emerge as well. We have managed to accomplish several small scale ministry events throughout this time of Social Distancing and quarentine, many lives have been affected and many ministered to through small turkey hunts, fishing adventures as well as simple ministry contact with our family.
As we push forward we will begin to expand our efforts of outreach and will pick up where we left off with planning for many upcoming events including our Banquet and Festival slated for later this fall.
several events may appear suddenly as we are allowed to expand our socializing, 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 your prayer and your continued support of this ministry, through you we can make a difference in the lives of those in need.
Thank you,Tron Peterson
