You can support musical assistance grants for home mission congregations as part of the Taste of Missions offering! Home mission congregations are not always blessed with a pipe organ or even a piano. They often use portable equipment such as electronic keyboards or computer-generated music with large speakers. WELS Home Missions offers additional grants of up to $2,000 to home mission churches that are looking to purchase keyboards and other instruments, sound equipment, software, etc., to enhance their worship services.

The Colorado District Mission Board began exploring this area in 2022. A core group of ten adults has been gathering for fellowship and Bible study while attending local festivals to share its plans for a new church. So far, 25 people have expressed interest in learning more about the mission efforts.

In 2023, the new mission in North Liberty, Iowa, started a campus ministry program at the University of Iowa and the surrounding colleges. What I didn’t expect was Eastern Iowa to be a location that was prime to inspire young men to be pastors . . .
