Sharing Hope Through Project Connect with Your Community
Bring hope to your community through Project Connect — an indispensable, on-site, booklet ministry resource that uses a display (a rotating booklet stand) of pocket-sized, topical booklets to promote outreach. These booklets are written from a Christian perspective and address a variety of topics, from forgiveness and the afterlife to depression and anger management.
These topical booklets are a great opportunity to reach out to those in your churches and communities with Gospel-centered topics that help them navigate life. Booklets are available in PDF, MP3 audio, or they can be ordered online from LHM’s storefront.
Below are a few examples of how individuals encourage others in their communities with this popular outreach tool.
David Otten, pastor of Hope Lutheran Church in Jerseyville, Illinois, shared how they distribute LHM materials at the county fair each year. This year at their county fair booth, over 300 pieces of LHM materials were given out. Most of the materials were children’s booklets,and everyone was happy to receive them. In addition, they have a permanent LHM Project Connect display at the local food pantry and are establishing a display at the local Mexican restaurant.
Megan Barone, LHM Ambassador for Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Kearney, Nebraska, uses Project Connect booklets as a giveaway item at their college welcome night. She distributed about 150 copies of What Is Faith? during the welcome night this year, alongside their campus ministry information. In addition to the welcome night, she keeps booklets about anxiety, depression, and how to talk about your faith in the discipleship house, which is utilized by groups like the campus ministry, youth ministry, life groups, and grief groups.
