If you have updated your iPhone or iPad to Apple’s latest iOS 9 mobile operating system you may experience inconsistent behavior while using WELS Mobile. Our most recent WELS Mobile Release, version 2.5.6, should resolve those issues. Please be sure to go to the App Store and update the app.

A couple of fixes are included:

  • Social sharing is now available on all devotions and Bible readings
  • When sharing devotions on Facebook the correct image is now displayed for that day

iOS AND Android users stay tuned for version 2.5.7 as we introduce a brand new weekly devotion for early childhood educators!

Blessings!

Interactive Faith examines Elisha

The next Interactive Faith online Bible study is underway. Rev. Keith Wessel, professor at Martin Luther College, New Ulm, Minn., will lead the study twice each Wednesday at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. (central) through Oct. 7.

Wessel will be leading participants through a study on Elisha. This is his second time leading Interactive Faith; his first study examined Elijah.

Thousands of WELS members have participated in the Interactive Faith Bible studies, which are held twice a year and led by a WELS pastor or professor. Many congregations gather as a group for the study; other WELS members connect as couples or individuals. The studies are designed to have 10 to 15 minutes of lecture by the instructor, followed by 5 to 10 minutes for congregations to discuss a question or two or do further study. Participants can interact with the instructor via a chat box on the live stream.

To learn more or join the study, go to wels.net/interactivefaith.

Version 2.5 Released

We’re happy to announce that WELS Mobile 2.5 is available. If you haven’t updated, please visit your device’s app store and download the latest. The following updates/fixes were made:

  • Restored local playback for Today’s Devotion, Military Devotion and Three Year Bible. When the new WELS.net was launched the previous version opened a browser window and played the web version. Some devices had issues with playback. The current version now plays the audio file from within the app without loading the WELS.net version.
  • Converted Verse of the Day source to one hosted on WELS.net. The previous version was using Bible Gateway to deliver the verse of the day. Now the source and sharing all come from WELS.net. This gives greater control over what verses are used, and the translation.
