We at the southeast office [in Maryville, TN], are thrilled about the transfer of planning and organization of all WEI short-term Bible-teaching missions to this office.
One exciting first time short-term mission that is currently being planned is at the large seaport city of Constanta, Romania. Ady Lupascu, a Romanian naval officer and the primary preacher and teacher of the church in Constanta, was first introduced to the gospel as a WEI correspondence student nearly 10 years ago. After further study with missionary, Charles Jackson, he was baptized in 1995.
Because of Ady’s first impressions of the power of God’s word used in the WEI materials, he approached us about inviting the North Stafford Christians [in Quantico, VA] to come to Constanta as WEI teachers and sponsor a summer WEI school. The plans are underway, and we are working closely with them to make this effort a reality.
Another exciting WEI short-term mission opportunity this year is in Taiwan. Enoch and Jeannine Thweatt recently returned from a very productive 10 weeks in Asia. Enoch writes, “I have used this material only this one time, but I am very much impressed with it for two reasons. One is it is well done and well thought out, and two, it is constantly being revised.”
Enoch and Jeannine have some grand plans for WEI short-term missions involving two congregations in Taiwan this spring and fall. To learn more, please contact Enoch B. Thweatt, Jr. at 1308 Greenfield Ave., Nashville, TN 37216, email him at ebtj@bellsouth.net, or call him at 615-226-8579.
We are currently planning a full year of short-term missions in several countries, and we are always looking for teachers. If you are interested in committing for a minimum of two weeks as a WEI teacher, please contact us at the WEI southeast office.
