On February 12, Tom Bonner, Missionary in Lushnja, Albania wrote, “On Sunday afternoon, we took our van, and hired another van, to travel to Tirana where we utilized the baptistery of the church. The new member of the body of Christ is named Sonila Xhilivoda. Her story is an interesting and encouraging one. Nine years ago, when we moved into the current facilities, she came as a student during a summer campaign, with Roxie Patterson from Portland, Oregon as her teacher. During her high school years she attended worship regularly with her cousin, but we didn’t see much of them when they went off to university. But Sonila has been on a journey to find meaning to her life. She began on her own to read the Bible, has read it all the way through once, and is reading it again.
“For some months now she, along with a younger sister, have been attending with us. Sonila came to me a couple of months ago with a request to be baptized. After more study with her, it was clear that she has a strong belief in God/Christ/Holy Spirit. So, on Sunday, she became our sister.”
The frustrating part of writing a quarterly newsletter is there is never enough space to report everything God is doing through WEI.
Here are a few examples:
John Adesoye’s WEI student on the Island of Crete, was baptized at the Omonia Church of Christ in Athens, Greece March 25. Her name, appropriately, is Happiness.
Willy Yudah, a WEI teacher in Tanzania, wrote, “Hallelujah!!! Two souls added today!”
