Micah Elfrink

In lieu of flowers, Micah would have wanted friends and family to donate to things of the kingdom. She was passionate about discipleship, community, and missions. All funds will be divided between Kito Community Development Program in Uganda and Armored Outreach in Sweet Springs, MO.

Micah Beth Elfrink was born August 14, 1988, in Branson, Missouri, and went to be with Jesus on April 19, 2024, following a car accident. Micah was born to Vince and Jo Beth (Spurgeon) Elfrink.

Micah loved sports and was a driven athlete throughout her life. She competed on Volleyball, Basketball, and Track and Field teams throughout her high school and college careers. She graduated from Branson High School in 2007 and continued her education at Southwest Baptist University, graduating with a degree in Physical Education in 2011.

Following graduation, Micah became the women’s director of Ekklesia Discipleship School in partnership with Armored Outreach in Sweet Springs, Missouri, through June of 2018.

She continued discipleship ministry through 2022 while working with 180 Farms in Sweet Springs, Missouri, as a farm hand managing cattle, chicken and gardening operations. In 2023 until most recently, Micah was Program Director at Camp Hoblitzelle in Midlothian, Texas. She brought so much light and positivity to Camp Hoblitzelle. Her passion for God, love for people, and her adventurous spirit made her an exceptional leader. 

She was obedient to God’s call to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ to all nations. She served in El Salvador in 2010, ministered in Indonesia with Armored Outreach International in 2012, and most recently in 2023-24 Uganda, Africa at Kito Community Development Program.

Micah greatly enjoyed the outdoors, finding joy in activities like hiking, fishing, hunting, climbing, and connecting with her creator through His creation. Her genuine kindness touched everyone she encountered, leaving a lasting impression. 

Her smile was a reflection of the true joy she had inside, and her legacy of love, mission and service will forever be cherished by those who knew her.

She was a teacher, a friend, a mentor, and was the epitome of great leadership. 

In the presence of Micah, one could truly feel the presence of God, and she has forever shaped those around her in ways we could have never imagined.

Micah was an integral part of several families and loved them all beyond measure.

Micah often shared the saying 'Adventure is Calling,' a philosophy she embodied with every step she took. We take comfort in knowing that she is now embarking on the greatest adventure, spending eternity with her Heavenly Father.

Micah was preceded in death by her dad, Vince Elfrink of Branson, Missouri, her grandparents, J.C. and Jeanie Spurgeon of Mtn. Grove, Missouri, and Norbert and Irene Elfrink of Benton, Missouri.

She is survived by her mother, Jo Beth and husband, Steve Lisby of Mountain Grove, Missouri, brother, Joel and wife, Kelsie Elfrink, niece, Emery and nephews, Loxley and Fraser Elfrink of Aurora, Colorado, and brother, Luke Elfrink of Lebanon, Missouri, along with many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
