I’m writing this column from Romania. The summer short-term missions are always the highlight of my WEI year. We have teachers from Oregon to Connecticut, Texas to Tennessee, California to Michigan, and many states in between. All of these teachers will be so blessed by this experience, but lives will be dramatically changed, and eternal destinies will be altered among the hundreds of students who will be participating.
As we’re embarking on this year’s summer WEI missions, I wanted to share with you three personal testimonies of your sisters in Christ who came to have a personal relationship with our Lord and Savior through WEI.
“The beginning of the WEI course was, in fact, the beginning of my spiritual journey. Lucky me, I had one of the most wonderful Christian teachers to show me the way, to build the necessary bridge between my Orthodoxy background and the real Christianity. Because of that study, now I’m married to a servant of God, and we have our first child.” —Anca Iuhos
“Through WEI, I had the opportunity to know God better and to come closer to Him. After taking the WEI courses, I decided to become part of the Lord’s family, and that was the best decision I could ever make in my life.”
—Magdalena (Maggie) Lilla Luchici
“I began attending the courses of WEI about 7 years ago. That represented for me the beginning of discipline in my spiritual life, and especially the discipline of going to church every Sunday. I grew up spiritually. I began reading the Bible more intensely. I knew God’s principles even before attending this course, but after attending it, I knew I had to pay more attention to respecting them because I had made a commitment to God, and I had to fulfill it.” — Lenuţa Ştuybe
Angie and I love and appreciate so much your support of this WEI ministry. We cherish the partnership in world missions that we share with you. Please know that we lift you all up in our prayers regularly. Thank you.
