Seeds of Impact: Increasing Your Harvest Strategy Influence

An OpenLearning Power Hour Featuring Jamie Walta

Join us for a FREE one-hour webinar on February 10, 2026, at 7 pm CT as Jamie Walta, WELS National Early Childhood Ministry Coordinator, presents Seeds of Impact: Increasing Your Harvest Strategy Influence.

What exactly IS a harvest strategy? Does my school have one? Is our harvest strategy alive, or is it maybe dead on paper? What is MY role as a WELS early childhood educator in making it an effective tool in our church & school ministry? All questions you may be asking.

In this webinar, no matter where you are on the harvest strategy (HS) continuum, you will: gain awareness of your ministry’s harvest strategy (or lack of one…) and what’s in it, build confidence in being a HS team member, and set next steps for giving life to your HS.

Whether or not you are familiar with your ministry’s harvest strategy, join us to learn more or to support our fellow early childhood educators in the harvest field!

This OpenLearning Power Hour is brought to you FREE by MLC Continuing Education.

“I was really impressed with the 10 young adults from MLC who helped with hurricane cleanup in Panama City. They represented their Savior and their school very well. All of them were self-starters, and every one worked hard . . . not a slacker in the bunch. They were polite and attentive. These future teachers and pastors give me great hope for the future!”

Pastor John Huebner

“DMLC and now MLC will always hold a special place in our hearts. We have seen firsthand many blessings for our families and ministries, and join others in thanksgiving for this special school.”

Connie Scharf

“Martin Luther College is a special place for students to learn how best to serve the Lord with their gifts as public ministers of the gospel.”

MLC Day Donor

“This institution is blessed with faculty and staff members who are exceptionally committed to the mission of preparing students for ministry, who are exemplary in their care for and involvement with students, and who are gracious in their relationships with colleagues.”

The Higher Learning Commissionof the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools

“I thank God for the privilege of sitting at the feet of Christian teachers and professors who molded my life so to speak in God’s ways.”

Carol Gronholz

“I know the Lord is smiling on MLC for the work being done to train those who will teach God’s Word to the world. There is no work more important.”

Jack Ulrich

“Reflecting on the quality of education that I received at MLC and the quality of the professors that I had throughout the program, I don’t think I could have found that care and attention anywhere else.”

Gretchen HintzMS Ed 2015, Leadership Emphasis

“I love the fact that everyone is so friendly and genuine at MLC. It amazes me how everyone smiles and says hi even if you’ve only chatted once. The unity of the student body is very apparent to me, and the faith that unifies them is incredible.”
