CROSS-CULTURAL OUTREACH

WELS supports cross-cultural outreach at congregations throughout North America. Much of this work centers around diaspora (people group) connections, where immigrants who have joined WELS congregations in North America are able to take the gospel back to friends and family in their home country. The Pastoral Studies Institute (PSI) works alongside many cross-cultural ministries to provide pastoral training for their leaders, allowing them to continue working within their individual ministry context.
