Southern District Kindle Gatherings serve as orientation workshops to help pastors and lay leaders grow in the dimensions of the Fan into Flame effort. Fan into Flame is the invitation for congregations and individuals to help fund Ablaze! projects that spread the Gospel message of Jesus Christ in their communities, in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida, in North America, and around the world.
The Southern District Steering Committee has scheduled Kindle Gatherings throughout the District to:
celebrate and discuss our mission outreach,
provide an overview of Ablaze! and Fan into Flame,
give options for how your congregation can participate, and
answer your questions.
You are invited to join in one of the Kindle Gatherings to hear President Schultz and Chairman Ted Richter talk about the opportunities presented by taking part in Fan into Flame. The informational 90-minute workshops do not commit you or your congregation to take part in any way. You will simply gain information and tools to use if your congregation chooses to participate. Of course, we cannot think why a congregation would not choose to participate in a mission endeavor.

Links to Fan into Flame Resources
We welcome some good news stories about Fan into Flame through Southern District congregations. Share them with us by sending an e-mail to
FintoF@southernlcms.org. Here are some stories from other districts and how congregations have responded through Fan into Flame.
We know the Spirit is kindling in and through Southern District congregations! Our District goal is to raise a minimum of $1,100,000 over the next three - five years as part of Fan into Flame. Southern District congregations are asked to set a minimum goal of 10% of their annual giving (tithes/offerings) as a goal to be raised through the congregational Fan into Flame effort.
Choosing a Plan for your Congregation
The congregation has the flexibility to choose the gift gathering plan option that will best work in their setting. Take time to explore the different plans outlined in this document: Quick Reference to Gathering Plan Options.
