The Lutheran Evangelistic Movement

"The Lutheran Evangelistic Movement has as its purpose by God’s grace to revive and deepen the spiritual life and fellowship of believers, to save the lost, and to encourage the use of spiritual gifts for the extension of Christ’s kingdom" (from the 1951 LEM constitution). 

A Revival History of the LEM - Book Released!

Jonathan Anderson has been a board member and an evangelist for the Lutheran Evangelistic Movement, but another one of his significant contributions has been to write a book chronicling God's mighty works during the early years of the LEM.  Sixteen chapters tell the story of the LEM’s origins, growth, and widespread use by God during its first two decades (1937-1957) within the context of a national revival.  There are also three appendices, the third of which covers the LEM of the 1960’s and 70’s and the youth revival movement of those years.  
You can read these articles online here, but we're also pleased to announce the release of this history of the LEM in book form!  The book is entitled Our Fathers Saw His Mighty Works and is being published by Mercy and Truth Publishers.  Cost is $17 which includes shipping.

Hax on Prophesy

During July 1965, California Lutheran Bible School teacher and former LEM National Board member Theodore Hax conducted a never-to-be-forgotten two-week Prophecy Conference in Lake Preston, South Dakota.  Revival ensued with over 75 people committing or recommitting their lives to Christ. Acknowledged as a leading Lutheran Biblical authority on the prophecies in Daniel and Revelation, Pastor Hax conveyed his understanding in fourteen messages, twelve of which have amazingly been preserved for half a century and are now available online.
