WELS Mobile Applications
Currently the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS) offers one mobile application on both the iOS and Android platforms. WELS ONLINE collects much of the devotional and educational audio, video and text content from WELS.net in an easy to use application. Two of the popular devotional feeds are available in audio and text format -- the WELS Today's Devotion and Through the Bible in 3 Years series. Making both a part of routine will provide daily encouragement and comfort. WELS Connection videos can also be viewed. Here is the complete list of content included:
- Today's Devotions (audio, text): A short devotion delivered each weekday based on a part of God's Word to inspire, encourage and inform
- Through the Bible in 3 Years (audio, text): A Bible reading divided into smaller sections across a 3 year schedule
- WELSTech Podcast (audio): A weekly show featuring tech news, tips and conversation related to ministry
- WELS Radio (audio, iOS only): Six channels of music from WELS musicians including Choral, Contemporary, Instrumental, Traditional, Children, and Mix.
- Military Devotions (audio): Weekly devotions developed specifically for our servicemen and women
- Q & A (text): A popular feature of WELS.net that takes faith-related questions and provides answers based on Scripture
- WELS Connection and other short videos (video): The monthly news show highlighting work being done in the WELS and by WELS members
- Together Newsletter (text): The bi-monthly informtion newsletter of the WELS
