It's amazing how many gifts God has given to His church. After going through an asset mapping session with Send Me St. Louis, Salem Lutheran uncovered a wealth of resources we didn't even know we had! By identifying the talents, the physical and financial assets, and member expertise, we were able to identify what community need we were best suited to address.

Rev. Martin Dressler, Salem Lutheran Church
