The Humanitarian Aid Committee of the Board for World Missions is making a visit to Zambia and Malawi to assess the work of our committee. Our committee exists to help build bridges for the Gospel by providing points of contact with people through humanitarian aid. It is funded solely through gifts of WELS members.

Ezekiel saw living spirits in service to God moving on wheels. Somehow this translates into our desire to have our pastors in Nigeria on wheels too. Nothing so complicated as Ezekiel’s vision for our pastors however. Motorbike wheels are far more practical for them. Especially as they navigate the sand trails or muddy ravines in […]
Spend enough time in Thailand, and you’ll almost certainly hear a Thai person speak this classic broken English phrase: “Same same, but different.” The apostle Paul teaches us in 1 Corinthians 12:4 that “there are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.” This month the “It is Finished” Bible Institute in Chiang Mai, Thailand, […]
On Sunday, July 20, 2008, Alejandro Sánchez graduated from the Mexican Lutheran Seminary. He’s pictured above with Missionary Mike Hartman. A graduation ceremony for Alejandro was held during the closing service of the national convention (learn more about the convention here and here).
We are extremely grateful to have another pastor in Mexico! Alejandro will help […]
The convention last week was one of the best ones in the history of the Mexican Lutheran Church (see entry here to learn more about what goes on at conventions).

It’s that time again…once a year, pastors and lay leaders in the Mexican Lutheran Church hold a national convention. This year it will be held at the church Cordero de Dios (Lamb of God*) here in Torreón.
The pastors and lay leaders will use their time together for a number of things. They will look at […]
Last week we had a great break from the hot Torreon sun. On Wednesday afternoon and evening, they sky grew cloudy and the wind picked up. Then it started raining! It rained on and off for the next three days. The temperature cooled down considerably with the rain.
This was the first time it had rained […]
The members of the congregation El Buen Pastor (The Good Shepherd) in Guadalupe have good news to share. On June 1st, they moved into a new place to hold worship services in.
Before, the members had rented a place in a different neighborhood. But as Pastor Eduardo Vazquez (pictured above) notes, “Our previous location was in […]
On Sunday we had a small farewell party for two of our volunteers that are heading back to the US this week. We said good-bye to Dave Sigrist and Grace Bey, two WELS Kingdom Workers that have been teaching English at El Redentor (Redeemer) here in Torreón.
Dave had been in Mexico for one year, first […]
