Twenty
years ago, less than
200 of the founding fathers of
Lutheran Men in Mission gathered under the theme
“Visions and Dreams” to launch a new men’s ministry,
partially supported by the Evangelical Lutheran
Church in America, with the vision and dream that
one day it would be a robust, self-supporting
ministry of this
church, changing the lives of thousands of men.
That day has come.
August 1-3, 2008, men of all ages will gather in
Omaha, NE, under the same theme verse
as the founders, “…your old men will dream dreams,
your young men will see visions.” (Acts 2:17). We
will celebrate 20 years of ministry and launch the
next great step. Lutheran Men in Mission will
continue to grow and become a financially
self-reliant, separately-incorporated ministry of
the ELCA.
Lutheran Men in Mission will COME OF AGE.
More importantly, generations of men will come
together in Jesus Christ. We will serve, we will
play, we will learn, we will worship, we will
encounter God – and each other – and we will grow!
Bring your son, bring your friend, and bring your
dad
– join us! |
Early registration discount extended to March 15.

When Peter isn’t playing lead guitar for
Jimmy Buffett, he’s often giving his
services to Lutheran Men in Mission and
other causes. He is a world-renowned
guitarist. After years in the “pop” music
world, Peter began to return to his
spiritual roots. “Stirrin’ Up the Water”, a
collection of Peter’s Christian music, was
released at the Lutheran Men’s Gathering in
San Antonio in 2002. Peter continues to
contribute 10% of the proceeds of that CD to
Lutheran Men in Mission. |

| Lutheran Men in Mission (LMM)
is the men's ministry of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in
America. We are building a dynamic ministry that addresses
the needs of men of all ages. Statistics reveal that
families and congregations are more likely to thrive when
men are actively engaged in their faith. |
|
|
|
 LMM
events are the focus of this issue of
Foundations. We are planning at least six “Building for
the Future”
mini-gatherings in
2006-2007.
