Recently, we Americans celebrated the 250th anniversary of our independence from England. We are blessed to live in historical times.
Most of our [WEI] students live under harsh oppression. They do not have the freedoms we in the U.S. take for granted. In some cases, oppression comes in the form of family tribalism, cultural religious identity, or Marxism. Stepping outside these boundaries can come at a personal price. When they do, the only lifeline they have is the one who brought them to Christ. If they are fortunate, and we are able to find a church family near them, they have an additional layer of support.
If you haven’t had a student ready to be baptized yet, don’t be discouraged. Sowing the seed of the kingdom is the true measure of success, even though making disciples is our goal. If you have had a student be baptized, you know the thrill it brings.
The WEI administration works hard to find evangelists we trust that will connect with your students, will study with them, and will help them become disciples. At times, World Bible School helps us find someone. Still, there challenges, even in our instant-information age. It may take weeks, or months, to find an evangelist. Try not to be too discouraged.
First, ask the student’s permission for someone to contact them. They need to send you their WhatsApp number and their city and country. Once you have received it, send us the information, including their name and ID number. We cannot guarantee 100% success, but we will do all we can. Let your students know that we are working and praying for them as they continue to study. Know that we here are doing all we can to help your student complete their obedience of faith in Christ.
