First Presbyterian Church Oconto is very active in mission. We contribute to organizations to spread the love of God and Jesus Christ to those who are in need, both locally and around the world. Our second quarter giving is for Marion Medical Mission to help with the creation of wells in underdeveloped countries of Africa. Since 1990, they have built over 53,000 wells, giving over 5 million people a sustainable source of safe drinking water. For more information, check out https://www.mmmwater.org

Message from Mission Committee
On Tuesday, April 22 the Mission Committee went to The Abundant Life Mission Shelter to present our check and to tour the facilities. It was a very humbling and informative. They accept people and families from all over N.E. Wisconsin and even from Appleton and South. We presented the check for $405.50 and they were very appreciative. Thank you to all who supported our Mission project by donating financially and with 97 household goods and personal items!
