Dear WEI friends and supporters,
I trust you have read the front page of this newsletter. We are embarking on an exciting and momentous time for WEI! Our Internet ministry is effectively spreading the Gospel message in EVERY country of the world. Many lost souls have been baptized, and churches have been planted. As a result, we MUST invest more resources into the WEI Internet Bible-teaching ministry. The web site has incurred many serious glitches over the last year. For some time now, it has become increasingly obvious to the WEI board of directors, and to Bob and Jan Towell, that WEI needs a full-time web site programmer and engineer.
The Lord has blessed our fundraising efforts in 2012 just enough that we are now in a financial position to open a new Internet office in partnership with the Laurel church of Christ in Knoxville, TN. Though we have the money in place to initially make the hire and open this office, funding the ongoing operation will continue to be a major challenge in coming years.
With regard to this new long-range fundraising challenge, as President, I would like to use this column space to make an appeal to all our WEI friends and supporters. The expense of this new office will require us to raise an additional $75,000 each year. We’re asking that you please give prayerful consideration to helping us reach this goal. We’re asking all our 200+ Internet teachers to simply pledge $100, or $8.33 a month to this need. If you have the ability to give this amount, or more in 2014, we would be most grateful.
We know that many of you are already giving generously to the WEI ministry. We would like to take this opportunity to express our deepest gratitude for your partnership in this “Great Commission” ministry. THANK YOU! We love and appreciate you more than you know. If you can assist us in this ministry, we would be most grateful. Please send your tax-deductible contribution to WEI, P.O. Box 5293, Maryville, TN 37802. Thank you, and may the Lord bless you in 2014. —Tom & Angie Langley
