Help Us Support Our Soldiers
Hundreds of thousands of U.S. soldiers are serving their country in far away countries such as Iraq and Afghanistan. While it is important for our nation to supply these brave men and women with weapons and equipment to accomplish their stated missions, it is just as important for God's people in the WELS to provide them with spiritual support.
Through the Military Services Committee of its Commission on Special Ministries (CSM), the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod provides world-wide spiritual supports for soldiers (and civilians) who live away from their spiritual homes. A WELS civilian chaplain in Europe and a network of 126 military contact pastors stand ready to serve all who request their support. The Special Ministries office csm@sab.wels.net also maintains a ministry-by-mail program that regularly provides issues of the "Meditations" devotional, printed monthly worship services, cassette and videotaped worship services and e-mail messages. All are provided free-of-charge.
Won't you help us provide this important spiritual support to our men and women in uniform by sending the names and addresses to us. Use our convenient online referral form.
