The student mission offering for the first semester has been sent to our brothers and sisters in Hong Kong for the benefit of Asia Lutheran Seminary. Pastor Daniel Koelpin, administrator for the WELS Board for World Missions, acknowledged and thanked us with the following letter:
Dear Friends at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary,
...I would like to personally extend my thanks to you for your gift of $2,200 that has been directed to Asia Lutheran Seminary.
Today the saving love that brought Jesus into this world continues to be reflected in the commitment of missionaries who are willing to dwell amongst different peoples that they might know God's saving grace and truth in Jesus. Love and faith are also evidenced in those who support their important work.
We are grateful that your gift reflects both a joy in the Savior and a concern for those who do not yet know him. We are committed to using your offering in the wisest possible manner.
Grace and Peace,
Rev. Daniel Koelpin
