Winnebago Presbytery has shared a partnership with the Presbytery of Uraba in Colombia for the past ten years.  We have visited one another, prayed for one another, and shared the ways that God is working in our lives and communities.  The most recent visit of a delegation from our Presbytery was in November of 2010.

Allan and Ellen Smith are mission co-workers serving the PC(USA) in Russia.  In August of 2011, First Presbyterian Church commissioned them for another term of service.  Ellen works with the twining project, matching congregations in the U.S. with sister churches in Russia.  Al works with the Roma people.  Their high school aged daughter Emma recently joined First Presbyterian Church when the family was home on furlough.

One year after the devastating earthquate in Haiti, a team of four people from First Presbyterian Church travelled to the country to volunteer at orphanages.  The four were Ann & Randy Argall, Mary Steeno, and Phil Mikulsky.  The team brought supplies and gifts from the church, but the greatest gift was their time and love.
