These are exciting times. Plane tickets are being purchased and many prayers are being lifted to God as WEI short-term teachers prepare to go into the fields white unto harvest. Guatemala, Romania, Albania, Croatia, Ukraine, and Myanmar are just a few of the countries hosting WEI teachers beginning this spring and continuing into the fall.
This is an especially exciting time for me and my family as my daughter Brianna will be joining me for the first time as a WEI short-term mission teacher. She is 18 years old and plans to attend David Lipscomb in the fall. Brianna has literally spent her entire life preparing for this teaching opportunity. She began taking the WEI courses in the 5th grade as a part of her English grammar and Bible home school curriculum. Brianna made the all important decision to put on Christ in baptism after completing the WEI intermediate course and further Bible study with her mother and me.
After completing the WEI advanced course Brianna became the youngest Internet WEI correspondence teacher at the age of 14. Each spring for the past 3 years she has asked me if she could go with me to teach WEI on a short-term mission. The time has come for this dream to become a reality, and we are both looking forward to sharing this special experience together.
We realize not everyone can go on a WEI mission, but there are other ways you can contribute to the ongoing work of WEI. We could not survive without the sacrificial offerings so many of you generously give in financial contributions. We thank you for your fellowship in world evangelism, and we love you. —Tom and Angie
