Olga Foster, a former WEI student in the Ukraine is now a WEI teacher in Iowa.
Olga writes, “I was looking through one of the Christian Chronicle issues the other day, and in one of the articles I read about WEI. Then I recalled that after I got baptized, I didn’t know much about the Bible, but your program helped me learn and grow. I was a WEI correspondence student at one time, and it happened in Ukraine.
“I am a Church of Christ member since 2000, married, and have a son who is 10 years old. Recently, he got baptized, and it brought back so much happiness to me!
“Right now, my family and I live in Muscatine, Iowa. We also attend church here. I have an Iowa license in teaching English as Second Language. My native language is Russian. I can also communicate in Ukranian, and I have a basic knowledge of Spanish. I work as a teacher’s aid at an elementary school here in town.
“I have been dreaming about some sort of Bible class where non-native speakers could learn English through the Bible. It is hard to find time to do that, having a family and a full time job, but [WEI] Internet teaching has that flexibility and lets you reach out to many people.” Olga is now a WEI Internet teacher.
