The backbone of World English Institute is our correspondence ministries. Our Internet ministry is exploding, and our postal correspondence ministry continues to thrive. Born out of World Bible School, WEI has also proven to be an extremely effective tool in reaching the lost of the world with the word of God. We should not be surprised that sharing God’s word and our faith with others by correspondence is so effective.
The entire New Testament is essentially a correspondence ministry. The inspired writers shared the gospel story and the Christian faith with others through correspondence. Hundreds of generations after those documents were composed, we Christians continue to share in the eternal blessings of those inerrant ancient documents. Teaching others through correspondence is exciting and a very effective way to communicate Christ to the world. We need more teachers. Please consider becoming a WEI correspondence teacher.
I want to also encourage you to consider being a WEI short-term mission teacher. This year, we will have WEI short-term mission teachers teaching one to one and in small groups on almost every continent of the world. The power of teaching one to one is unparalleled in its effectiveness. There is no greater blessing than witnessing one of your short-term mission students becoming a faithful Christian.
Anca was a Romanian WEI student who obeyed the gospel in 2002. She is now a short-term missionary teaching WEI and sharing her faith with students in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The cycle continues, the gospel goes forth, and God is glorified. We still have openings for short-term mission teachers in Albania, Guatemala, Romania, and a few other sites.
We at the Maryville office want to express our deep gratitude for those of you who partner with us financially. We have felt the effects of the poor economy, but we are thankful to God for those of you who continue to give so generously. This work would be impossible without you.
