Worldwide fellowship

Approximately 85 people attended the sixth triennial convention of the Confessional Evangelical Lutheran Conference (CELC) in Kiev, Ukraine, in June. WELS and 19 church bodies around the world are part of this fellowship. “These are lonely Lutherans from around the world that are just boosted by fellow Christians,” says Dan Koelpin, administrator of WELS World Missions and vice president of the CELC. “They need that encouragement; just like water, it is refreshing to them. And we’re uplifted by their faith and courage as well.” Learn more about the 20 church bodies at www.celc.info.
