There are several mission locations that have been using the WEI short-term mission approach for two decades. Romania and Albania are 2 countries that come to mind. WEI has had a major impact in introducing people to God’s word and has aided in planting numerous churches in both countries.
Consequently, we are now witnessing a 2nd generation of Christians who have been taught the Bible through WEI. Below is a photo of two families from Oradea, Romania who have not only been students of WEI, but are now WEI teachers. This photo was taken on the day of Bogdan Ciora’s baptism.
From Left to right: Adinela Ciora, (2001 WEI student), Adinel Ciora, (2001 WEI student), Bogdan Ciora, (2010 & 2011 WEI student), Vasile Iuhos, (current WEI teacher), Anca Iuhos, (2002 WEI student and 2009 WEI teacher in Cambodia). Anca is also pregnant with a future WEI student. Front row: Cristina Ciora, (future WEI student).
This summer Bogdan studied with 2 teachers from Katy, Texas. Having been raised in the church he knew what was necessary to become an adult member of God’s kingdom. He was further brought to conviction through his WEI studies, and later baptized after returning from Romania’s summer youth camp.
Angie and I appreciate so much your continued support of WEI. Our financial challenges continue. Please keep WEI in your prayers.
We love you. —Tom and Angie
