Eric Welch, missionary in Iasi, Romania, is putting together a team of teachers for his first short-term WEI mission effort in Iasi. This short-term mission work is scheduled to last from July 3 to July 28.
Tom Langley was at Freed Hardeman University doing a training session when this photo was taken. From left to right: Elizabeth Wilcom and Zach Opheim (Oklahoma Christian University students), Daniel Ashby (FHU student), Tom Langley, Graham Bates ( FHU student), and Eric Welch.
Other teachers not included in the photo are Jim Gardner (teacher at FHU), his wife Peggy, and Brianna Turner, another FHU student.
Tom writes: “Three missionary families, all graduates from FHU (Paul and Rachael Holland, Daren and Julie Shroeder, and Eric and Stephanie Welch) started the work in Iasi in 2000 and have produced some of the finest Bible study and church-related material in the Romanian language. It’s an honor to be partnering with them in their first WEI short-term mission effort.”
