One of the major strengths of WEI is its versatility. WEI was originally written as a postal correspondence course, but soon after it was printed, people discovered it was an exceptional tool for one-on-one teaching in mission fields. The English grammar lessons still have a massive appeal, and they continue to generate more students than we can teach. Most students soon discover that the corresponding Bible lessons have more personal value to them than the English grammar lessons do, and many become Christians
A growing number of churches are using our WEI courses in local “ESL” (English as a Second Language) programs. Churches simply run ads offering free English improvement courses. They choose a day and time to meet with students at their building for one-on-one instruction. Teachers are members of the local church. Every WEI lesson provides each teacher with an opportunity to share their faith and discuss the word of God with their student. Close relationships are formed, and students are soon invited to participate in activities of the church including its worship services. Many individuals and families have been converted to Christ using this method. Praise God!
If you are interested in starting one of these WEI/ESL ministries in your local church, please contact us for more information.
Angie and I are so grateful to you for supporting our work in this ministry. May the Lord bless you all, and may he continue to bless WEI as we partner with you in the work of the Great Commission.
