God's People Ablaze!

A Story from a member of Church of the Pines in Waveland, MS shared by Pastor Gary Faith.

 
 
We start every Bible Class with the question,"Has anybody had a critical event this week?"  She came into my office and said, "I am not sure if I had a critical event or not."  I asked her to tell me about it. 
 
She described the person as one who hadn't been to church in a long time.  She described a loving , relationship building conversation.  I asked her if during that conversation she told them that Jesus died for them.  She said, "well, yes." 
 
I smiled and said yes you had  a critical event.  This child of God who is in her late 60's, said with tears in her eyes, "That was the first time I ever did that."  The Holy Spirit is using the Ablaze movement to help us all see that we are missionaries on the mission field.

WHAT'S GOING ON NOW?

President Kurtis SchultzPresident's Post -- Great is His Faithfulness
 
“. . . for his steadfast love endures for ever!” (Psalm 106:1b)

In the month of October we celebrate the Reformation. Many have often wondered what enabled Dr. Martin Luther to be the driving force he came to be, during the Reformation. The answer can be found in our verse this month.  Read more here.

Ablaze! is a mission movement within the LCMS to encourage members to be active in their witness to the unchurched and dechurched by offering a clear Gospel message of the hope we have through faith in Jesus.  Ablaze! is also about revitalization (transformation) of existing congregations and the planting of new ministries.  Learn more about Ablaze! along with some starter ideas. 

Fan into Flame is a capital campaign to help fund the Ablaze! initiatives locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally.  The Southern District is pleased to be a partner in this effort.  Join in prayer and support of this iniatiative
The mission of the elected officials, committees, executives and support staff of the Southern District, as joyful servants of Christ, is to provide vision and leadership for the mission and ministry of the Southern District as we:
