We received the following report from Will Odom, preacher at Normangee, Texas and a WEI teacher by e-mail:
“We made another trip to Cluj-Napoca, Romania, from April 12 until May 10. It was an exciting time with 327 total Bible studies. Going with me were four other workers: Elvis and Kay Istre of Abilene; Norma Guinn of Livingston, and Yvonne Davis from Little Rock, AR.
“All five of us taught from the WEI booklets with 64 students. Many of these students came two or three times a week. Two of the teachers had students who were willing to be taught every day.
“Although there were no baptisms while we were in Cluj, many seeds were planted, and God will give the increase at His appointed time.
“It is amazing to watch these students (whose ages vary from 18-65) become so interested in the Bible stories. In the beginning, they are only interested in improving their English. Then, they are hooked on the joy of knowing the Bible. Many begin to see very clearly that their infant baptism did not save their soul. However, they are slow to change from their old religion. Parental influence and objections play a big part in their hesitation to become a true Christian.
“It was a great joy to serve the Master by teaching His message. The WEI material is perfect for one-on-one studies as well as e-mail use. Find a non-Christian in your neighborhood and try using the WEI material with them.”
Amen!
