Giving and Thanksgiving

“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows” (James 1:17). 

At this time of year, Christians all over America bow our heads and thank God for our blessings—the love of God, salvation in Christ, the abundant life, jobs, family, friends, fellowship with other Christians, shelter from the elements, warm beds to sleep in—even the air we breathe and the water we drink.   

This week is also a time of giving.  Out of gratitude, we want to be a blessing to others.  God so loved us that he gave his only Son to save us from the power and consequences of sin.  Jesus so loved us that he gave his life that we might live.  The more like God we become, the more we want to give for the sake of others.

Last week, the population of the world reached seven billion.  These are people for whom Christ died, yet most of them are alienated from God.  God does not want anyone to perish.  He wants everyone to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). 

God is using WEI to teach people about Christ in every nation on earth except the Vatican.  Literally thousands of WEI students have been baptized into Christ, and dozens of churches have been planted. 

Yet, WEI has come upon hard times.  The economic crisis in America has put WEI in jeopardy.  We have lost $5,000 a month in regular contributions during the past two years while the demands on our resources have risen.  We need an additional $6,000 a month in regular gifts in order to keep this world-wide ministry going and growing. 

Our goal is to preach the gospel to every man, woman, and child in the world from this day forward until Jesus comes again.  Please join hands with us in fulfilling the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20).

Demographic Population Growth of Islam

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.  You will recognize them by their fruits.  Are grapes gathered from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles” (Matthew 7:15-16). It is an understatement to say that our world is in turmoil. 
The “Occupy Wall Street” movement has spread to every major city in the nation and to cities around the world.  Clashes are breaking out between demonstrators and police.   Moreover, rival gangs are killing each other in the streets, and people are dying from drug overdose.  War, persecution, and genocide are common in the world. 
Yet, the greatest threat to our nation is the “Occupy America” movement by radical Islam.  The stated objective of Islamic leaders is to conquer the world and to rule by Sharia Law.  They are taking over nation after nation by immigration and multiplication. 
The video is a wake-up call to Christians.  Unless we want our great grandchildren to bow toward Mecca, worship in mosques, and study the Qur’an instead of the Bible, we had better start speaking up for Jesus.  The best way to stop radical Islam is to convert Muslims to Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace.
God is using WEI to spread the good news about Christ throughout the Muslim world.  Between 30 and 40 percent of our new Internet students are Muslims.  Many of these Muslims come to faith, and some of them have the courage to be baptized into Christ.  Three Muslim couples (in Egypt, Gaza, and Afghanistan) have baptized each other in secret during the past two years.  If you are a WEI teacher, you are making a difference in the world.
When you watch this video, you will see clearly why the evangelistic work of WEI is so important to the welfare of our nation and to the survival of Christianity in the world.  Instead of being defensive, we must be aggressively pro-active.
As Edmond Burke has said, The best way for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.”  Let us live, speak, teach, and preach in such a way that Muslims and lost people everywhere will be drawn to Jesus.

Good News for All Nations

November 12, 2011

Today, I launch my maiden voyage as a blogger.  I hope you will come along with me.

The purpose of this blog is to keep you informed about the exciting things God is doing through WEI (World English Institute and Bible Correspondence School).  In this first blog, however, I will give you a little background information.

WEI is an evangelistic arm of Churches of Christ, and our goal is to teach every man, woman, and child on earth about Jesus with a view to drawing them into the kingdom of God.

God has used WEI to teach hundreds of thousands of people about Christ in 206 nations—atheists, Buddhists, Communists, Hindus, Muslims—people from every religious background. 

Thousands of these WEI students have been baptized into Christ, and churches have been planted in Albania, Cambodia, China, Crete, Czech Republic, Estonia, India, Kosovo, Latvia, Lithuania, Nigeria, Romania, Slovakia, and Sierra-Leone to name a few.  These new converts have stories to tell that melt your heart.

Would you like to get involved in seeking and saving the lost?  If you have access to the Internet, you can share your faith with others through WEI.  And it won’t cost you anything but time and energy.  Let us hear from you if you would like to be a soul-winner for Jesus.

Our primary mission is summed up in the Great Commission:  “Go . . . and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:19-20). 

We can fulfill the Great Commission through WEI.  Won’t you join us?  Jesus will be with us to the end of the age.

Richard (Dick) Ady, President WEI

What's this all about?

RATIONALE
English has become the language of the twenty-first century. Three-fourths of the world's high school students are studying English today. Prior to World War II, only 200 million people spoke English. Now, billions of people speak English, and the number is growing rapidly. More people are studying English in China today than in the United States.

Technology driven English leads to Bible study

WEI has been around for a long time teaching students and planting churches all over the world. First, it was by postal mail. Today, postal teaching has been replaced with email and the Internet. Technology is bringing students from every known nation to study English without cost. FREE English gathers students. Reading is Bible stories beginning with the Creation story -- 21 lessons followed by the Advanced English and Bible lessons challenging students at the college level and beyond.

There's more!

A personal teacher is assigned to each student. Teachers can send lessons with the click of a mouse. Lessons are automatically graded, teachers can chat with their students, and all teachers have a mutual resource for helping answer questions. Contacts in numerous nations are avaible for continuity when a new church is planted.

Internet teaching gives Seniors a way to spread the gospel from their own computers making their lives benefitial to God's Kingdom.
