WEI Student body Growing in Cambodia
February 17, 2006

In an effort to increase the numbers of students studying the Bible in English, we have promoted World English Institute Internet Study opportunities and today WEI Internet School Director, Bob Towel told us we have the second largest number of students of any country in the world.

By encouraging Internet study we can teach many more students and when they are ready, they can join our private tutoring program that teaches an average of 75 different students a week at the PIP Center in Phnom Penh.

More than 60 Christians from the USA and Europe have spent one to nine months teaching in the Phnom Penh Center and an average of 2% of those taught obey the gospel and remain faithful. One new congregation that is made up primarily of these converts is meeting now and others have become members of the older congregation in the city.

The “Tuk Tuk” (3 wheeled taxi) pictured above is one of the ways we are spreading the word of the availability of this opportunity. As it cruises the city thousands of people see the sign and many are signing up. Internet Café owners like it because students spend more time on their computers which translates into more money for them. Many students like to study in this non-threatening environment and as they gain confidence are ready to study with us personally.

This is another example of how partnering with other ministries increases our productivity and allows us to share the gospel with many more then we ever could working alone. Certainly He Cares.
