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 and Africa. 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!

Greeting's,
As our Nation and States and Cities continue to recover and learn to walk in this new normal following the storm of COVID-19, we as a ministry have continued to move forward in our efforts providing much needed comfort and support during this chaotic time. We have continued to provide for several large and small scale ministry events throughout the time of Social Distancing and quarantine and thankful to be able to move more freely as we progress.
Many lives have been affected and many ministered to through this time and through these events including turkey hunts, fishing adventures, deer hunts, duck hunts, dove hunts as well as simple ministry contact with our family.
As We continue to pursue the heart of God in our efforts to reach those who are in need, our 2022 calendar is already in full swing with exciting and effective ministry events from Kansas City to Jefferson City to Northern Kansas and Tablerock Lake as well as multiple events including our ladies hosting female Veterans on fishing and hunting adventures at Peterson Outdoors Ministries own 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, through you we can make a difference in the lives of those in need.
Thank you,

There are 14 different sessions. Each session has a time of praise and worship, true life testimonies, teaching from God’s Word and a time of personal reflection. All teachings and testimonies are spoken by ordinary men who tell of their Encounter with our extraordinary God!
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
