Asia

WELS World Mission work in Asia is subdivided into three different administrative groups: Asia-Pacific Rim, East Asia, and South Asia. Each of these groups has an administrative committee appointed by the Board for World Missions to help facilitate this work in Asia.

Other Mission Partners

WELS Missions also partners with sister synods and independent churches in fellowship with WELS throughout Japan and Taiwan. This partnership and support can come in the form of financial assistance, theological training or continuing education through the Pastoral Studies Institute (PSI), visits and assistance from other World Missions representatives or missionaries, as well as the sharing of outreach ideas. A church in South Korea and another Lutheran synod in India are directly supported by our mission partners in the Evangelical Lutheran Synod (ELS). Visit the ELS world outreach page to learn more about that work.

Many of these mission partners are a part of the Confessional Evangelical Lutheran Conference (CELC), a worldwide fellowship of confessional Lutherans. To learn more about the CELC and these mission partners, visit celc.info.
