For more than a century, WELS schools have helped children grow in both knowledge and faith. Now, that mission is reaching new hearts in Buchanan, Liberia. The One Africa Team is working with a group of Christians in Liberia who understand the importance of educating children in the truths of Scripture. Lamb of God Lutheran Church is hoping to start with ABC Kindergarten and praying to expand to primary and secondary education soon.

Mark Jiang (picture right) serves Apostles in San Jose, Calif., as outreach pastor to the Chinese community. A growing Chinese fellowship and Bible study already meet every Sunday afternoon. In addition, Mark will continue teaching international high school students at Apostles Lutheran High School, offering classes like Bible Information Class and Intro to Christianity. David Shang (pictured left) will continue serving in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, where he is helping grow a local Chinese ministry supported by Hope Lutheran Church and another active PSI student. Additional details regarding his ministry are still in the works. Both of these efforts are currently supported by the Joint Mission Council.

The Pastoral Studies Institute provides pre-seminary and seminary training to students from a variety of countries and cultures. As WELS congregations reach out to immigrants with the gospel, the PSI team equips future spiritual leaders—often right where they live and serve. In many cases, this training leads to international gospel connections as well. Pastoral Studies Institute director, Skip Goetzinger, pictured center above with both PSI graduates.

Please keep Mark and David in your prayers as they continue to share the gospel and serve their communities. We thank God for raising up leaders through the Pastoral Studies Institute to bring Christ’s love to the nations!

On Sun., March 30, Intown Lutheran Church welcomed three college students as adult confirmands. These young women impressively completed our 12-lesson Bible Basics class while also managing busy academic schedules and student-athlete responsibilities. All three of them are new to Lutheranism and very excited to be part of our church family!
