The Lord is opening so many new doors to Latin America that we can hardly keep up. Spanish-speaking teachers are needed to share the Good News with people in Central and South America.
In May, Tom Langley visited Benny and Donna Baker in Jinotega, Nicaragua. The Bakers began working in the Jinotega and Mategalpa regions of Nicaragua in 1997 with one congregation of twelve adults and children. Today, there are seventeen churches with more than 800 adults and children.
Tom writes, “It’s an understatement to say that we are thrilled at the Bakers’ invitation to introduce WEI into their multifaceted mission ministry. We will be initiating a pilot program in one of the Jinotega High Schools in which WEI will be used as the English curriculum. The students will be studying English, but more importantly, they will also be studying the Bible. We also plan to send WEI short-term teachers to this area of the world very soon.”
“Jurgen Gonzalez has accepted the responsibility of working with our WEI pilot program in a Jinotega high school. He will also be helping with our future WEI short-term mission efforts. William Vargas, a teacher in the Spanish Emersion classes in Jinotega, will also be helping with the WEI efforts. Both of these men are fluent in English.”
If you read and write Spanish and would like to introduce people in Latin America to New Testament Christianity, let us hear from you.kf
On June 11, thousands of Christians came together in Managua, Nicaragua for a national day of worship and fellowship. Information about WEI and WBS was made available after worship so that Christians could utilize these tools for personal evangelism. As Tom said, “God’s hand is moving in Nicaragua, and we are honored to join in these efforts.”
