Ablaze! Movement

The Ablaze! movement is a global Lutheran mission movement to encourage and celebrate witnessing our faith in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Through Ablaze!, many individuals, congregations and organizations have shared encouraging stories and ideas of how God has used them to share the Gospel with uncommitted and unreached people in the United States and around the world. Many organizations and LCMS partner/sister churches have embraced this effort and adopted it in specific ways to their own ministries and context.
