How Women of Hope Serves

The Women of Hope team strengthens POM’s outreach by providing:

  • Support for military wives and families

  • Administrative and office assistance to keep ministry operations moving smoothly

  • Food preparation and meal planning for ministry events and retreats

  • Hospitality services, including event setup, cleanup, and coordination

  • Care and upkeep of the many Lodge of Hope facilities, helping to create a welcoming refuge for guests

  • Creative decorating and event planning to bring warmth and joy to participants

Women of Hope offers fellowship, prayer, and encouragement to strengthen one another and lift up the mission of Peterson Outdoors Ministries.

“She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future. When she speaks, her words are wise, and she gives instructions with kindness. She carefully watches everything in her household and suffers nothing from laziness… There are many virtuous women in the world, but you surpass them all!” – Proverbs 31: 25-27, 29 

Outdoor Ministry

Outdoor Ministry for Women

As POM grows, so does the reach of Women of Hope through outdoor ministry opportunities. Our Growing in God (G.I.G.) initiative provides powerful connections for:

  • Responders seeking healing and mental health support

  • Women and female youth who face physical disabilities or terminal illness

  • One-on-one ministry in the outdoors as a unique form of recreational therapy

Combining a love for the outdoors with faith in Jesus Christ, the Women of Hope (G.I.G.) team brings together female veterans, first responders, and women with disabilities into a healing environment where spiritual renewal, hope, and restoration can flourish. Faith-inspired outdoor therapy has proven to be life-giving and transformational for many women we serve.




Veteran Hunts and Outdoor Events

All veteran hunts and outdoor ministry events are fully funded through Peterson Outdoors Ministries. There is absolutely no cost to the veterans who participate. This is our way of expressing gratitude for the selfless sacrifices veterans and their families have made for our freedom. If you are a female veteran or know a veteran you’d like to sign up on behalf of, we invite you to apply today and experience the healing and restoration available through Peterson Outdoors Ministries.
