"...so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another." - Romans 12:5 ESV

We live in a time of great opportunities:

• More than three billion people have yet to hear the saving message of Christ.
• Technology allows us to engage with each other more efficiently and effectively than at any other time in history, especially as people crave a relationship with God and each other.
• We can use our gifts to make a real difference right where we are, among real people we know and see every day. Our faith, put into action on a local level, can make an immediate and personal impact in our neighborhood and beyond.

How do we connect and share the hope of the Gospel with so many who have never heard the Name of Jesus? Lutheran Hour Ministries (LHM) believes we are called, equipped, and sent to CONNECT people with the Gospel yesterday, today, and into the future.

Building upon the success of the SENT Initiative that nearly tripled the number of times LHM reaches people with the Gospel each week, CONNECT is a crucial next step forward in achieving our shared mission that is fueled by the generous leadership and support of God's people like you! The urgency of the Gospel is real, and the time to act is now. CONNECT is a bold initiative to ignite a movement throughout the Christian church that empowers Christians to use their unique gifts for sharing the Gospel in word and deed.

"God has called each and every one of us to share the Gospel message in our lives, work, and families," says LHM CEO Kurt Buchholz. "What a special calling for all of us to CONNECT and welcome others into the Lord's family as we grow together as the body of Christ."

Under three key ministry priorities that connect people with the Gospel globally, through digital engagement, and right where they are, CONNECT supports LHM's vision for the future and Christ's call to reach the world with Christ's message of hope.
