One Thing Works In Outreach Today

Practical, Doable Outreach Workshop 

Saturday, Oct. 17 9am-2pm
@The Village Lutheran Church, Lacombe, LA. Lunch Included!

RSVP to Eric Johnson e.johnson@southernlcms.org

As a mission church planter, I learned that there is only ONE THING that will reach people today and help grow your congregation. 

In this workshop I will teach you and your team the One Thing I learned in over 12 years as a mission church planter.  Using the tools you will learn in this practical and doable workshop, we saw 125 adults come to faith, baptism, and discipleship in the local congregation plus 167 children baptized over a three year period.
  • Bring a Team
  • Leave With an Outreach Plan that is Practical and Doable.
  • High Grace/Low Risk Outreach
  • Outreach that is proven to work in our Lutheran context.
The world around us has changed, and so has the way we reach people and make disciples.
