Three ways to support WELS Prison Ministry – Summer 2025

Pray – As God’s redeemed children, our prayers are powerful and effective. Current prayer requests: for guidance in the best use of new technology and opportunities; for success in integrating WELS Prison Ministry efforts with those of Institutional Ministries.

Serve –All our ministry efforts are driven by volunteers motivated by Christ’s love. To inquire about any test correction or pen pal matters, contact our New Ulm office ([email protected] or 507-354-3130). To inquire about serving as a mentor to a returning citizen or making in-person visits to a correctional facility, contact IM’s volunteer coordinator ([email protected] or 414-259-4302).

Give – This is the lifeblood of our ministry. After July 1 we ask that you give directly to Institutional Ministries (see Milestones article)

By mail:

Note: All gifts to WELS Prison Ministry received at the WELS Center for Mission and Ministry will be used to offset Prison Ministry expenses (before July 1) or forwarded to Institutional Ministries (after July 1). If you have any questions about the transfer of financial support, please contact WELS Director of Special Ministries Joel Gaertner ([email protected]).
