Rev. Dr. Terry Schultz has served as Artistic Development Missionary for Multi-Language Productions (MLP) since 2019. He and his wife, Mary, reside in Milwaukee, Wis. He encourages and facilitates the use of culturally appropriate art forms (music, art, theater, dance) in service of the gospel among the churches of our WELS world mission fields. He is involved in indigenous music projects and has presented music workshops or pastoral training courses in many countries. Schultz also encourages and partners with local artists in world mission fields to produce pictures and diagrams for teaching biblical doctrines, particularly in cultures with low rates of literacy.

Schultz has a Bachelor of Music with a concentration in Percussion and M.S. in Education in Guidance and Counseling from Eastern Illinois University, a M. Div. from Bethany Lutheran Theological Seminary (Evangelical Lutheran Synod), and a Doctor of Ministry in Missions and Evangelism from Trinity International University. From 1996 to 2011, Schultz served through the Evangelical Lutheran Synod in Peru where he taught at the Lima seminary, served as Peru field coordinator, and worked with the Shawi, an indigenous tribal group, in the Amazon jungle. Mary directed a women’s prison ministry at the time. In 2011, Schultz’s moved to the Dominican Republic, where they carried out WELS mission work in Haiti with national Pastor Rona Abraham from their home base in Santo Domingo. The Schultzs moved stateside after accepting the call to his current position in 2019.
