Servant Leadership to Antigua
In recent years, WLHS has developed a partnership with our WELS mission on the Caribbean island of Antigua. God has blessed St. John’s Ev. Lutheran Church and School there with significant growth: 350 students attend their school and worship services on Sunday are at capacity. Each fall, WLHS holds a school-wide drive to collect resources for St. John's. Typically, five students and Pastor Huebner deliver the donation which this year was five computers, two projectors and 220 new Bibles.
During the visit our students also have the opportunity to do some service to this mission. Earlier this month, our student ambassadors replaced the old, tattered Bibles in the church pews, read books to kindergartners, participated in a game night and beach fellowship with St. John’s teen group, and helped clean and organize two storage classrooms to make space ready for coming improvements.
Even as Wisco is a blessing to St. John's, this opportunity is a blessing to our students who put their faith into action, see how the Gospel bears fruit, and are reminded of how materially blessed we are in comparison to other parts of the world.
