One of the most exciting aspects of my work with WEI is the short-term mission. Although WEI material is so easy to read that it literally teaches itself, it’s not always easy to convince Christians to go. However, once they go and experience the thrill, they always want to return and teach again. Most of our teachers even plan their vacation time around the next WEI short-term mission.
Here are quotes from a couple of our WEI short-term teachers who taught this past summer:
“One thing I like very much about the WEI program is the opportunity for women to teach the Gospel. In other types of mission work, our role is to be supportive, and our input is not always necessary when men lead the work. The one-on-one aspect of the program allows the teacher to know the student, learn about their family, and understand where they are coming from spiritually. The work is intense in a relaxed environment. We work hard, have good rest periods, stay in lovely, clean hotels, eat nice meals, get to see amazing parts of God’s world, and worship with faithful saints. It’s a win-win opportunity. Let’s GO!”

“I have now been on 5 WEI short-term missions at 4 different mission sites in 3 different countries. WEI gave me a lot of confidence in studying the Bible with a lost person. Every time I go, I learn something new about my faith as it grows and stretches me. I have developed relationships that transcend culture and that will last a lifetime. I am continuously amazed at how God’s Holy Word works in the lives of people everywhere. I consider it a privilege to witness the simplicity and the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Recently, I signed up to be a WEI Internet teacher, and I find it helps me stay in touch with teaching while I wait for the next trip! WEI has also brought growth to our congregation at Waterbury as we use the materials in our local ministry.”

Testimonies about what God has done in our lives and how he is using us are so powerful and scriptural. Thank you for your continued support and prayers.
