WEI’s Internet program is a team effort, and many of the players are unknown. There are the teachers who proclaim the Good News “into all the world.” God knows them and has a rich reward awaiting those who use their time to sow the seed! Others are making the teaching website better. Steve Foltz helps teachers send Completion Certificates and works with Dick Ady to add audio to the Advanced and Supplemental Lessons. Greg Holmes is adding audio to the Elementary Lessons. Because mobile devices provide the same access to websites at less than half the cost, people around the world are buying these instead of computers. Jonathan plans to retool the website making it compatible with these mobile devices this year. You who connect with your “blackberry” or other mobile device will see a great improvement in the way the website works.
When we obey the Great Commission, God will give the increase, as in the following two messages:
From China: “I went to the Church which you recommended. Then I met such a warm family that I loved in the first sight. After the meeting, I went to another house with them for more teaching and decided to accept T’s advice when he asked me, ‘Why not today?’ Praise God.”
From Sudan: “As a refugee in Uganda, I escaped death narrowly when the brutal Resistance Army invaded the camp. I prayed God would rescue me and escaped with my hands tied behind me. When peace was signed in Sudan, I returned and applied for a job that required English. Exploring the Internet, I found WEI. As I studied, I realized that there was more truth in the lessons than in teachings of the Pentecostal Church. On 29 August, I was baptized in the Nile. I imagined Jesus’ baptism in the Jordan and how happy I would be with him in eternity. I felt energized, as though something physical was removed from my body. As I look into the past and the future, it is more than useless to own the riches of the universe and lose one’s life forever.”
