“ABLAZE – Fan Into Flame”
Mission Emphasis at Trinity Lutheran Church

Theme verse: Acts 1: 8 “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

What is Ablaze?
Ablaze! began as a vision of LCMS World Mission to involve every member of every congregation of the LCMS, its partner church bodies, and partner mission agencies in one focused and concentrated effort to share the Good News of Jesus.  By joining together to share Christ's Gospel with those who do not yet know Him,

• our family members, friends, and people we meet will be transformed through hearing and believing the message of salvation in Christ;
• our congregational members will grow in discipleship through mission involvement;
• our church bodies, mission organizations, and congregations will be strengthened in service; and
• our Lutheran mission resources will be strategically coordinated, so that more can be accomplished to the honor and glory of God.

LCMS World Mission Purpose Statement
Praying to the Lord of the Harvest, LCMS World Mission, in collaboration with its North American and worldwide partners, will share the Good News of Jesus with 100 million unreached or uncommitted people by the 500th anniversary of the Reformation in 2017.
