Living Hope Lutheran Church

The greatest source of peace for those who trust in God’s promises is that our Savior is a living hope. That could be a great name for a new church. And I think that Rev. Eric Melso would agree. He should know because he talked to hundreds of people in Chattanooga, TN who were given…

Martin Luther College

Would you go canvassing in a blizzard? That was the dilemma facing Martin Luther College. Praise and Proclaim was invited to come to New Ulm on April 10th in conjunction with E-Day Action Day to provide evangelism training for students. The invitation to participate was also given to members from the two local WELS congregations…

St. Peter Lutheran Church

Records are meant to be broken. Praise and Proclaim Ministries had the privilege of partnering with St. Peter Lutheran Church in Schofield, WI to launch our forty-third outreach initiative since our gospel ministry started in 2016. Established in 1902, St. Peter Lutheran in Schofield (mysaintpeter.org) has over eight hundred baptized members and a K-8 school.…

Crown of Life Lutheran Church

With extreme snowy conditions blanketing much of the northern half of the U.S., arriving to warm, sunny California is not a bad place to be in February. With temperatures in the 60’s all week, it was a lovely time to go outside and proclaim the message of salvation. Praise and Proclaim Ministries received an invitation…

Ascension Lutheran Church

When palm trees are part of the landscape in February, you know that the prospects of warm weather are high. For those visiting from the north, it can be a welcome respite to shed winter jackets and mufflers for light jackets and sunscreen. This was the setting in Escondido, CA to launch an outreach initiative…

Praise and Proclaim Mighty Warriors

Redeemer Lutheran Church

Evangelism is far more about trusting God’s promises and assurances than it is about ourselves. Believers trust that God’s Word works, even though we may not see the visible results of our efforts. Immediately following the Praise and Proclaim outreach initiative at Redeemer Lutheran Church (Yakima, WA), Rev. Isaac Cherney posed the following question during…

King of Kings Lutheran Church

“Those are two nice ladies. You must have a great church.” A gentleman working in his yard had just met two members from King of Kings Lutheran Church in Little Rock, AR. They had just come by his house to introduce their church, proclaim a short gospel message, and personally invite him to their Fall…

Saint Peter Evangelical Lutheran Church

The city of St. Peter MN is located ten miles north of Mankato and has a population of 11,000. It is the home of Gustavus Adolphus College and could be considered a small college town with a strong ELCA presence. Some could say that the area is over-churched to go out into the community to…

Redeemer Lutheran Church

There are benefits going door-to-door to proclaim the gospel in 100-degree weather. The people you meet at the door will be either impressed with your zeal or baffled by it. Either way, you can get people’s attention and gain a hearing to proclaim the gospel. This was the case at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Tucson,…
