Christians Reaching Across Cultures

In Feb. 2004, the WELS Model English Language Outreach Program opened at Gethsemane Lutheran Church in Milwaukee, Wis. Representatives from congregations and missions can receive training on how to set up volunteer-based adult outreach programs, starting with a few volunteers and teacher resource materials. It is an environment where immigrants have long stretches of time to learn to communicate in English with caring, Christian, fluent speakers of English.

The incarcerated often realize the depth of their sin . . . they’re hurting . . . and they’re open to the message of the Savior. But can a lay person play a role in this kind of outreach? Absolutely. In fact, God has blessed WELS with one of the largest prison ministries in the nation. And the majority of the work is done by volunteers.
