Classic Ichabod - WELS Started TELL To Promote the Church Growth Movement

Friday, May 27, 2011


WELS Started TELL To Promote
The Church Growth Movement.
Continued under Perish Leadership with Radloff,
David Valleskey's Classmate


"TELL has served the church faithfully for 15 years. Three editors have served; Ronald Roth (1977-84), Paul Kelm (1985-88), and the undersigned since 1989...The lead article in the first issue of TELL was titled 'Church Growth - Worthwhile for WELS.'...The author of this article in April 1988 issue of TELL concludes, 'It's obvious by now that I believe we in WELS can profit greatly from the writings of the church-growth leaders.' ...TELL as a separate publication ends with this issue. Nevertheless, the focus of The Evangelism Life Line will continue for years to come as an integral part of the new Board for Parish Services journal - PARISH LEADERSHIP
Rev. Robert Hartman TELL (WELS Evangelism) Summer, 1992.

Ron Ash chaired Church and Change
and got church-wrecker (Savoy) Tim Glende to replace him.

GJ - Suddenly, this post is leading in the last seven days, with 336 page-views.

This is a good start for studying the spread of false doctrine in WELS. Church Growth is a deliberate cancer transplant from Fuller Seminary, Trinity in Deerfield, and Willow Creek.

Valleskey advocated "spoiling the Egyptians,"
a concept he grabbed from another Fuller camp-follower.

WELS leaders who have served as CG midwives are:
Valleskey, President, Sausage Factory
Bivens, Professor, Sausage Factory
Tiefel, Professor, Sausage Factory
Radloff, Missions
Kelm, Omnipresent Menace, Now at WLC
Roth, DOA
Hartmann, Missions
Steve Witte, Asian Seminary President
John Lawrenz, MLS, MLC, Asian Seminary
Wayne Mueller, previous WELS VP
James Huebner, WELS VP
Mark and Avoid Jeske, Time of Grace
John Parlow, St. Mark Depere
Bruce Becker, Time of Grace
Fred Adrian, vicar supervisor for Scott Zerbe
Wally Oelhafen, mission board chairman
Hagedorn, missions
Norm Berg, missions
Larry Otto Olson, DMin Fuller

Larry Oh! - students prayed he would take the job in India.


SP Naumann approved the promotion of Church Growth in 1977, in the first issue of TELL. Every synod president since has spread Church Growth and promoted those who advocated false doctrine:

  • Carl Mischke
  • Karl Gurgle
  • Mark Schroeder
The last WELS SP to exert any doctrinal leadership was John Brenner, who left office in 1953.



Is it a co-inky-dink that all these Church Growth stars
came from the same class at Mequon?
