Contact: Anthony Steinbronn Address: 650 Aldrich Road Location: Howell, NJ 07731 ![]() The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod World Missions, through its National Missions Staff has developed a process designed to assist local congregations in revitalizing their sense of mission. The LCMS Districts will be the responsible parties to introduce, communicate and monitor the Revitalization Process among selected congregations in their judicatory. Districts will not be looking for all of their congregations to participate, nor even for full participation from a selected region or circuit of the district. Rather districts will be fostering the formation of learning communities comprised of willing congregations, which have undergone a screening process. Ideally, these learning communities will comprise congregations in sufficient proximity for pastors and leaders to conveniently meet face-to-face. However it may also be possible for congregational leaders to meet via distance technology.
The Mission Revitalization Process works through LCMS Districts. LCMS World Mission has contracted with Missions International and its Director, Dwight Marable, to create a reproducible process for Mission Revitalization. The LCMS Mission Revitalization team, under the directorship of David Born, is working with LCMS districts to effectively apply Revitalization strategies in their local congregations. In general, it is not possible for the national team to work directly with congregations, but the team is dedicated to be of every kind of assistance to districts in promoting and managing the Mission Revitalization Process within their respective judicatories.

http://www.lcms.org/pages/internal.asp?NavID=9396 Born of a pioneering effort 1996, the ministry (formerly known as Harvesters for Christ) has served more than 100 congregations in diverse cultures in almost all the districts of the LCMS across the United States. Congregations partner with a The 72 ministry team to accomplish specific evangelism goals that the congregation has identified. Congregations then commit themselves to be in Bible study with the team, to support them in prayer both publically and privately, and to support their work in both word and deed while the team is on-site serving them. Host congregations also designate people to receive appropriate training and to follow through on the process they have begun together after the team has departed. While the team members receive no salary for their services, the congregation agrees to provide necessary logistical support, including needed supplies, travel, food, and lodging or utility hook-ups for recreational vehicles. The 72 team members are trained evangelism volunteers available to congregations to serve on location to assist them to either begin, revitalize, or expand their outreach ministry to help them to reach the lost--a mission we share with Jesus, who came to seek and save people who are lost (Luke 19:10). The teams are available to serve for three or four weeks. Occasionally, teams will provide leadership at weekend events only.
