God has a dynamic new WEI teacher in Nigeria. His name is Ugoh Ray.
On February 2, the subject line on Ray’s e-mail was “Three WEI Students Baptized.” He wrote, “ I’m glad to report that three persons gave their lives to Christ and were baptized this Sunday through the WEI programme.
“I visited eight secondary schools in Imo State. Their principals indicated their interest to involve their students in the WEI lessons to help prepare them for junior and senior WASCE (West African School Certificate Exams) if the materials are available. I am willing to coordinate any activity that will help extend the WEI programme to various schools and colleges in the State, should my vision attract your consent.”
Two weeks later, Ray sent another e-mail saying, “There is overwhelming joy in the church today as four more WEI students were baptized. I also believe there is rejoicing in heaven, and I wish to share that joy with you.
“I have started a WEI campaign in schools around Imo State, Nigeria. Out of ten schools and seven churches visited, all are ready to study with us except one. We can start with ten students from each school and church. So you can send complete WEI study materials for two hundred students.
“The truth is that the academic value attached to the WEI programme makes it attractive to youths in schools and churches. Looking forward to hearing from you. Remain blessed in the Lord.”
Imagine the Potential!
Bro. Ray has presented to us a tremendous opportunity. The possibilities for teaching and baptizing high school students in Nigeria are practically unlimited. School principals are eager for Ray to teach the WEI courses in their schools.
In less than three weeks, Bro. Ray has baptized seven high school students into Christ and integrated them into local congregations. Can you imagine the number of souls that can be saved if Ray and other gospel preachers were to expand this pilot program to hundreds of high schools and colleges in Nigeria?
In order to supply Ray with WEI materials, we must raise at least $5,000 to cover the cost of printing and mailing the materials. Is there a church or an individual who would like to take this on as a mission project? Here is an opportunity to save hundreds, perhaps thousands, of precious souls. We must respond to the call while there is still time.
