London is one of the most diverse and important cities in the world. Since the 1980s, the WELS European chaplaincy program has held monthly services in London for WELS-connected believers in the area. In recent years, many members from WELS’ sister churches around the world have been moving to the U.K. For example, more than 20 percent of members and leaders from WELS’ partner church in Hong Kong have already moved to the U.K., with more on the way.

In response to this opportunity, WELS World Missions has planted a new mission field in the U.K. Rev. Conifer Berg was assigned to begin serving the group already gathering in London, connect with contacts from other sister church bodies, and launch outreach efforts. With the Lord’s blessing, it is the prayer this mission work could provide a springboard for further in the U.K., made up of England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, and the entire continent of Europe.

Pastor Berg will be visiting Bethany and give a presentation during the Bible study hour on Sunday, December 4 at 10:15AM. Please consider attending and learning more about the mission field in the U.K.
