"Since we have reached our retired phase of our life journey, the time was right to make a faith statement to our children that there is a tremendous joy in being able to give to our favorite charities. Since Green Lake Lutheran Ministries has had an impact on our family with opportunities for hearing the good news of Jesus Christ, making many loving friendships across Minnesota, and times of laughter and fun, it was a giving privilege to support the camp's ministry with a gift to the Endowment Fund. Giving is a privilege, and it is our way of saying thank you to God for the gift of outdoor ministries. -- Tom & Phyllis Jacobson

Share a gift with Green Lake Lutheran Ministries in memory or in honor of someone special to you. These gifts make a difference in the experience our campers and guests have while at camp by providing them with safe, comfortable and energy-saving facilities and equipment.
Gifts given to the Scholarship Fund benefit campers and retreat guests that would not have the opportunity to experience the life-changing love of Jesus through camps and retreats without financial assistance. Last year $13,000 was dispersed allowing 80+ campers and guests the opportunity to experience God’s promise while at camp. Besides monetary donations, GLLM offers several other giving opportunities!
