Nebowa Missions
Each year our Board of Directors and area church ministers select a missionary to support throughout the Summer. The missionary usually spends time during each camp educating the campers about their particular mission and how they are telling the world around them about Jesus. We are proud of this tradition and are thrilled to have a chance to teach young students the importance of giving willingly to an organization or individual who is doing the work that God has called them to do. Offerings are collected during each camp and the total amount given is sent to the selected missionary each Summer. Find out more info about this Summer's missionary below.
Summer 2026
This summer we are proud to support the mission of Rob and Lauren Prucha as they are preparing to serve with CMF’s Globalscope ministry in Birmingham, England, joining the team at Canvas. They are parents to Maia (age 3) and Bo (age 1).
On many university campuses around the world, Christian ministries are difficult, if not impossible to find. At a key time in their lives, students often lack a space where they can explore life and faith in a real and authentic way. Globalscope is unique because it creates a welcoming community where Christians, atheists, agnostics, and anyone in between can belong. Everyone is free to ask hard questions about life and faith while experiencing genuine Christian community.
Campus ministry was a pivotal season for both Rob and Lauren. During their time at Iowa State University, they encountered Jesus deeply through the Navigators ministry. Their faith grew in community, and they both sensed a clear call to full-time ministry. Rob later transferred to Johnson University, where he majored in Bible & Theology and Preaching & Church Leadership. While in Knoxville, TN, he joined Crossings Church, where his vision for church and mission was reshaped. Lauren, a bio-systems engineering graduate, lived out her faith by walking alongside peers and sharing Jesus’ love in everyday life.
They married in 2017 and spent seven years serving with Christian Student Fellowship (CSF) in Nebraska, leading a vibrant college ministry. Through it all, Jesus continued to show them the power of community on mission. From pioneering missional college ministry with energetic young adults to coming alongside faithful church communities in the pulpit and small groups, the Holy Spirit has opened their eyes to all that Jesus is doing in the world.
Rob and Lauren’s prayer is to center a college community on Jesus—walking with students as He transforms lives, communities (including their own), and the world.
