Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.
- Ephesians 1:3
On MLC Day – May 7, 2025, we will celebrate the blessings God has granted to our WELS ministries through the pastors, teachers, and staff ministers who faithfully proclaim his Word and through the individuals and families who support this work.
In preparation for our May 7 celebrations, we encourage you to . . .
- PRAY- Celebrate blessings at your churches and schools through prayers of thanks for the work of pastors, teachers, staff ministers, and ministry leaders. MLC Day Kudoboards will be available online to share our prayers.
- SHARE - Join friends of MLC across the globe in sharing photos and videos that express thankfulness for our Lord's blessings. We especially invite everyone to post short selfie shout-out videos. Watch MLC’s Facebook and Instagram for video-sharing details – and chances to win Encouragement MLC Day shirts!
- GIVE - Give to our Congregational Partner Grant Program to honor those who have blessed you through their public or private ministry. With your gifts, we hope to add another $130,000 to the Congregational Partner Grant Program matching fund so that more students will receive financial assistance for their journey to the public ministry.
Your contributions to the Congregational Partner Grant Program, so far . . .

The first $65,000 donated will be matched dollar-for-dollar by generous donors!
MLC Day is part of a year-long effort to raise just over $775,000 to meet our commitment of matching the grants from congregations who support their MLC students!
