It has been a while since I’ve posted any updates on our mission start. At my last report I stated that we are now considered a satellite of our home congregation, The Lutheran Church of Our Savior. I also shared that we are waiting for the results of our marketing survey. Pending reports look promising [...]

There are days when I wish we all read the same Websters Dictionary. Words are becoming too interchangeable and it is easy to miss a point and lose your audience. I’m especially aware of it now that I’ve returned from a speaker’s conference. The “but I know what I meant” doesn’t cut it. I need to make sure [...]
Stay Calm and Pray

“I’m tired of hearing how our mission start isn’t growing because of space. Space isn’t the problem, it’s the people running it. If we had people who knew what they were doing running our mission start this wouldn’t be an issue.”
I hate voter’s meetings. Don’t get me wrong, I think they are important. I just [...]

We have many wonderful things going on right now. The best is our home congregation, OSL, voted to allow $15,000 that was reserved for a land purchase to [...]

Our core team had a group meeting last week, and then a board meeting this week. Ablaze Church is still running strong, and we are facing some very real blessings that are driving new needs.
Having a mobile church is taking it’s toll on our people and our equipment.
Moving things in and out of our trailer, [...]

“Pastor, I don’t feel comfortable with all of these new people coming to our church. I mean just look at them. They aren’t like us.” — Real Quote from a real Elder to a real pastor. What was he complaining about; the 300 + new members that joined the church from 1991-1994 ish. My husband and [...]
