Watching God work throughout the world is profoundly moving. Last month, I had an opportunity to watch him work in Cambodia and Vietnam. While I was in Southeast Asia, the Lord was busy in other places as well.
Ellen Walker reports from Tirana, Albania that “Ola Stana was baptized for the forgiveness of her sins. Last summer, Ola studied with Ervin Ballabani and Dick Ady during the WEI campaign. Since that time, she has attended quite regularly and has grown to faith.” It thrills my soul that one of my former students is now our sister in Christ.
We also received some exciting news from Aniefiok Akpan, Principal of Rhema Academy in Nigeria. He reports that “three inspectors of schools from the Ministry of Education registered yesterday for the free WEI correspondence course. They were on a routine inspection visit to Rhema Academy. While in the office, they glanced through the samples of the WEI courses on my desk and became interested.
“After I registered them, they promised to introduce the courses to members of their families and to other schools that they would be visiting in subsequent months. Please pray for these top government officials and other WEI students in Nigeria.”
No one knows what God is planning to do in Nigeria and other parts of the world. Thus far, he has given us students in 190 nations, and more students continue to enroll. In order to meet the challenge and to grasp the opportunity, we need more teachers. We are deeply grateful for the teachers who are working so hard to lead people to Christ, and we would warmly welcome you if you would like to join us in this worldwide ministry.
Our hearts are full of gratitude as we think of all the churches and friends who are supporting us with your prayers and financial resources. We are humbled by the confidence you have placed in us. Thank you. May God bless you for your sacrificial care. We deeply love and appreciate you.
