WELS – Christs Love Our Calling

The love of a Lamb
The Lamb’s sacrifice secured the salvation of your soul, giving you the honor of serving God every day of your life.

A delightful trouble
A man sharing online the peace he has in Jesus creates a problem—the need to coordinate multiple baptisms around the world.

This month, WELS is highlighting the work of the WELS Commission on Inter-Church Relations (CICR) which maintains relationships with church bodies all over the world.

Recently, two church bodies that recently joined hearts and hands with us to uphold and proclaim the saving truth of Scripture. At the 2023 synod convention, WELS affirmed fellowship with Iglesia Cristo WELS Internacional and declared fellowship with Obadiah Lutheran Synod.

We pray: Lord, how good and pleasant it is when your people live together in unity! We rejoice in our synod’s declaring fellowship with the Obadiah Lutheran Synod of Uganda and affirming fellowship with Iglesia Cristo WELS Internacional in Latin America. May our joint ministry be strengthened as a result. Bless the Obadiah Lutheran Synod especially as they serve Sudanese refugees in their country. Be with Iglesia Cristo WELS Internacional as they strive to gather 1,000 groups across Latin America around the Bible in the next five years. May your Word and your Spirit guide your Church! Amen.

Last week the Board for Home Missions met for its fall meetings and approved one new start and four enhancement requests. This brings the total new mission starts this year to 10 (not to mention the approved enhancements), which is on pace with our synod’s goal of starting 100 new mission churches and enhancing 75 existing ministries from 2023-2033.
