In many core city areas where neighborhoods have changed there exists many Lutheran churches that are but a shadow of what they were in the 50's - 70's. With some help to the existing remnant these could be great places for revitalization and essentially a mission church in an already existing infrstructure.

The remnant has to be willing and the church at large has to be willing to partner with and support them in many ways. When this all comes together, God will do things beyond the humans that are involved's imagination!

I am involved in a ministry like this and am seeing things that bring tears to my eyes. What a blessing!
