God’s reach and restoration extend to the farthest ends of our neighborhoods, our communities, and the earth. This promise is fulfilled in Christ, whose light has dawned on the world. As you reflect Christ’s light to all nations, you are playing a role in God’s big promise to reach and restore the lost through the power of the gospel.

WLS held its 2026 Mission and Ministry seminar February 3–5 under the theme, “Reach and Restore.” Attendees had the opportunity to worship, hear from a keynote speaker, attend workshops, and explore displays set up by various organizations within the WELS.
