Get Rally Gear NOW!
HOLA, BONJOUR, HEY! Only one more year until the WELS INTERNATIONAL YOUTH RALLY! The rally is a meeting of thousands of WELS teens from all over to celebrate in Jesus as the young people they are. In 2009, we'll be saying "Peace Out" to Dallas and heading over to Ames, Iowa! Iowa? YES! The '09 rally will be held at IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY You will get to explore the campus, the city of Ames, and Adventureland! Sounds pretty cool, right? You'll become acquainted with new friends that share your faith as well as the college atmosphere! And in case you were worried that it wouldn't be worth it to go...DON'T! This rally was put together by three teens just like you-which means that this rally will be fun for you! Together they came up with a theme that focuses on discovering and celebrating YOUR light as God's child, even-and especially- as a young adult, so that you may "Follow the Path" AND "Lead the Way"! The four days of July 8-11 in 2009 will be packed with fun memories and wisdom to last a lifetime. So, chat with us, share your ideas, visit for updates, and start packing!
