"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
