Lutheran Women’s Missionary Society (LWMS)

As WELS women we believe that Jesus was speaking to each of us when he directed his disciples to “go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:19).  To this end we freely give of the time, talents, and treasures with which God has richly blessed us.
