Teaching God’s Word Around the World by Teaching the English Language
World English Institute has one mission with one purpose. WEI works to lead as many people as possible from every nation under heaven to Christ by using God’s Word as the text to teach English grammar.
The English language is universal. Billions want to learn it. WEI teaches English free of charge in order to help them communicate effectively and read the Bible in English, many for the first time.
They need most of all salvation and a relationship with Jesus Christ. WEI has designed this unique teaching tool to reach as easily into dark places of the world, like the world of Islam, as it does the non-English-speaking communities of America.
Every day, hundreds of precious souls log into WEI to study one lesson in English grammar and one lesson in the Bible. They thrill at being able to learn English, but they are amazed when they learn about God and his plan of redemption.
WEI’s Teaching Website Makes it Easy
Using your computer/tablet/cell phone, your Internet connection, and WEI’s teaching website, you can teach the Good News to people in all of the world’s 203 nations.
Approximately 10000 people visit the WEI teaching website each month to study the English language because it is free. Each month over 3500 of these people register and return the introductory lesson and need to be claimed by a teacher. WEI uses lessons from the Bible to illustrate the accompanying lesson on English grammar.
The website provides recordings of the Bible lesson so students can learn to hear and speak English as they read. While they learn to hear and speak, the Word is being planted deep within their memories.
