This is the seventh year that the C.T. Wetzstein Donor Advised Fund in support of Christian Education has financially supported confessional Lutheran education projects through Lutheran schools and other ministries in Canada.

The C. T. Wetzstein Donor Advised Fund honors the legacy of the Rev. Dr. C. T. Wetzstein, a long time pastor of the Lutheran Church in Canada. All of Pastor Wetzstein’s children continued in a life of service to the Gospel, including his youngest son, Ralph ‘Mickey’ who served as a Lutheran school teacher and in refugee settlement with Canadian Lutheran World Relief. Upon Mickey’s death in 2008, the C.T. Wetzstein Donor Advised Fund was established by his widow, Aileen Wetzstein, as a means of making good on her husband longtime commitment to Christian education. The Wetzstein family administers the fund, in coordination with Lutheran Foundation Canada.

Donations to the Fund are gratefully received and may be made through the Lutheran Foundation Canada offices.
