Thank you Rev. John Welge for visiting us Sunday, August 18, 2019. Rev. John Welge spoke at both services about a ministry providing direct relief to the poor throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. Pastor Welge shared personal witness about Food For The Poor’s mission to care for the destitute as a means of living out the Gospel mandate to love one another.

He graduated from Concordia Senior College in I968 with a BA in Music and later in 1972 earned an M.Div. degree from Concordia Seminary in Illinois. He is married to Susan with two married children. He has led and participated in many mission trips within Central America. Now that he is retired, he speaks on behalf of the poor through Food For The Poor.
