Are you one of those who delights in the first Christmas card arriving in your mailbox? This season, as we celebrate the birth of our Savior, we’re reminded of the angels’ proclamation to the shepherds:
“Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.” – Luke 2:10
What a powerful message! The angels announced not just joy for a few, but for all people—reminding us that the gift of Jesus is meant to be shared far and wide. This is the heart of our mission: to bring the Good News to every corner, every community, every soul in need of hope.
We invite you to watch a few short Moments with Missionaries videos. These updates offer a glimpse into the lives of those serving in Home and World Mission fields—and the incredible impact your generosity makes possible.
Because of your support, WELS Home and World Missions continue to reach out to the lost and hurting, proclaiming the message of salvation. Together, we echo the angels’ song: “Joy to the World!” Let’s pray for God’s continued blessing as we bring this Good News to new hearts and homes.
May the peace and joy of Christ fill your family this Christmas and throughout the coming year.
