One of WELS’ objectives is “to foster a sense of urgency for the lost and to seize every opportunity the Lord provides to evangelize lost souls.”

The Commission on Evangelism serves WELS by developing and promoting evangelism resources that faithfully proclaim the truth of Scripture to the lost; by promoting evangelism attitudes, structures, and programs consistent with Christian doctrine and the situation into which God has called a church, its pastors, and its people; and by promoting the “equipping of the saints” for organized congregational evangelism and individual Christian witness.
