The World Mission Prayer League is a Lutheran community committed to know Christ, pray for the advance of His kingdom, share the gospel and ourselves with those who do not know Him, and encourage Christians everywhere in this global task. Prayer is our working method.
We embrace a rich heritage that flows from the passionate witness of Christians faithful to the call of Jesus. Our ministry realizes the vision of Ernest Weinhardt to bring the Good News into the heart of Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The World Mission Prayer League consists of some 6,000 committed and praying members. WMPL has over 100 missionaries in 20+ countries.
“We must have it as our aim to bring the gospel to the very last man. Wherever there are people who have not heard the gospel, to them we must go, no matter how few in number they may be.” – Ernest Weinhardt, WMPL Founder
Let us join you in your call to carry out the commission of Christ. What’s your next step?

I love Trinity Sunday: edgy, powerful, mysterious, provocative Trinity Sunday. It falls, often enough, now in the month of May. It is celebrated on the Sunday following Pentecost. There is mystery here. Trinity Sunday reminds us that God is beyond our cleverest intellect: who can understand the reality of the ineffable Triune God? There is [Continue Reading]
In Jesus’ parable of the workers in the vineyard, the workers who were hired first believed that the owner of the vineyard treated them unfairly. They received less in hourly wages than those who were hired later in the day. I have to agree: that does seem unfair. Like most people, I value fairness quite [Continue Reading]
As part of the never-ending pursuit of getting children to read and ENJOY it, I started a trivia contest for the entire month of March. Each week there was a new set of trivia questions hidden around the school about the most venerable of authors, Dr. Seuss. The students were encouraged to find the answers to [Continue Reading]
“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23) The subject of capital punishment has always terrified me. Without making a political or moral argument, I will just say that I would not want to be responsible for making a decision [Continue Reading]
It has become fashionable in some circles to propose an even-handed, levelheaded, non-extreme interpretation of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Something a bit less dramatic (and a bit more manageable) than the Victorious Lord of Life crashing out of his sealed tomb. If this is the Lord at the center of our faith, after all, [Continue Reading]

It is Lenten time. I have been thinking about a set of passages at the heart of the Lenten season – the “Servant Songs,” in the wonderful book of Isaiah. You will recognize these songs, I am sure (Isaiah 42:1-4; 49:1-6; 50:4-11; 52:13-53:12). Every year at Lenten time (if you belong to a church that [Continue Reading]
I have been thinking lately about stone jars. Stone jars figured prominently in the gospel text for the Second Sunday of Epiphany, read all around the world a few weeks ago. I was visiting friends and colleagues in India at the time: we read the text. My wife attended services in Minneapolis: she read the [Continue Reading]
This month we reach the conclusion of our 75th anniversary year celebration. We have outlined eight decades of our mission history over the course of the last twelve months. So now what? Deeper We must go deeper. Spiritual maturity is a continual movement in two concurrent directions: we “take root below” and “bear fruit above” [Continue Reading]

God’s blessings often come in ways and at times that are not expected. A look at the financial report from 2012 shows some seemingly poor results; overall income fell 31 percent, expenses increased and were $154,455 more than income for the year. Yet at the same time, I can tell you with joy that last [Continue Reading]
Statistics are very tricky things. They can be helpful when used properly, but great care must be taken to compile and interpret them in a way that is accurate and useful. I really enjoy statistics, and I try to use them responsibly. The Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) has recently released their annual “State [Continue Reading]
