—as a school curriculum, a correspondence course, and as short-term mission material. It’s especially exciting when directors of Bible schools and academies wish to make WEI a part of their teaching curriculum.
We began communicating with Brother Aniefiok Akpan from Nigeria several months ago. He is the director of Rhema Academy. He will be using WEI not only to teach the students in the academy, but also as an outreach tool in the community.
He has also put in an urgent request for short-term mission teachers to come to his country and teach WEI to students one-on-one. Anyone interested in going to Nigeria?
We also have several more countries and cities in our short-term mission plans for 2007. It is exciting to receive requests in our Maryville office for teams of teachers. Word has gotten out among our brotherhood mission churches on the effectiveness of our short-term mission ministry.
It’s also exciting to speak with our correspondence teachers about their students. One teacher recently told me that he never dreamed he would be a missionary in Haiti, Cambodia, and other countries. He also wants to use WEI to teach members of his extended family.
Serving with WEI over the past 3 years, I’ve met the most wonderful people in the world. It is such a privilege to travel and introduce WEI to so many good Christian folks. More and more people are becoming involved in WEI through jail ministries, ESL ministries, and as correspondence and short-term mission teachers.
As we draw to the close of another calendar year, we are reminded that none of this would be possible without your generous contributions. We again ask for your continued prayerful and financial support in fulfilling the Great Commission. We do treasure your partnership, prayers, and encouragement.
Love, —Tom & Angie
