This Doctor of Ministry project originates from reflection on the topic of evangelism, especially in relation to four major outreach projects of Grace Lutheran Church in Lancaster, PA. Using action/reflection methodology, the project considers four outreach initiatives made by the congregation in the period from 1998 to the present -- a weekly community meal, a child care center, a neighborhood housing development organization, and collaboration with Narcotics Anonymous. The project includes reflection on these specific initiatives in mission to discern whether and how they hve been effective as part of Grace's larger attempt to renew its mission in the face of its own demographic decline and the urban transformation taking place in the congregation's neighborhood.
