Stamp Program

The purpose of the WELS CEF Stamp Program is to involve WELS Youth in mission work at an early age. This investment program serves as a great building block for our WELS children to learn clear, Biblical stewardship principles. This program also allows parents and teachers to instruct our WELS Youth to actively participate in mission work going on throughout the world. This program can help WELS Day School teachers and Sunday School teachers as they teach WELS Youth about Christian stewardship principles.

How does a WELS church or school participate in this investment program?

  1. A church or school completes an “Initial Order Form” and sends it to WELS CEF, along with a check. This establishes a stamp purchasing account number.
  2. Upon receiving the “Initial Order Form,” WELS CEF sends the church or school the stamps and support material requested. A stamp purchasing activity statement, along with another stamp order form, will be sent with each order to reflect the current balance due on the stamp account. A payment should be included with each subsequent stamp order to cover the amount of the stamps sent from WELS CEF.
  3. The church or school then sells each stamp to the students for $0.25 to cover the purchase amount. Students can purchase stamps on a designated stamp day made by the church or school. When a stamp book is full, the teacher provides the student with an investment application. An investment application is filled out by the student’s parent and returned with the full stamp book to the WELS CEF office.(Please note: An Investment Application or Additional Investment Form must accompany every stamp book sent to WELS CEF.)
  4. WELS CEF then issues a Savings Certificate to the child and sends it to their permanent home address. The parent is the custodian or joint owner on these investment certificates so that statements and maturity notices can be handled accordingly.

Through this program, a new investor is born who will hopefully support the mission work done through WELS CEF for many years to come.
