In 1987 while studying at BJU in Greenville, South Carolina, the Weis helped to establish a local Chinese Bible Church. When several charter members finished their own seminary studies and went to the mission field, the church provided monthly support. As the church mission program expanded Dr Wei saw a need to form a special organization dedicated to sending missionaries to Chinese peoples throughout the world. Thus Chinese for Christ International (CFCI) was established in 1992.

Two years later, in 1994, Dr Wei founded Christian Way Missions Inc (CWM) as a board for sending missionaries not only to China but to other restricted-access nations. CFCI became the first branch of CWM and has since been joined by India for Christ International (1996) and Myanmar for Christ International (1999). 

In 1998, Chinese Bible Church International was formed as a mission extension arm to CFCI on the island of Saipan and Eucon International School was established as a ministry of the church. EIS provides Christian elementary and secondary education to the people of Saipan and serves as a cross-cultural training ground for missionary teachers. 

In operating the school, Dr Wei saw how Asian students on Saipan and abroad had a strong desire to receive an American college education. Eucon International College was established under Christian Way Missions Inc as a means to reach these students for Christ. EIC was licensed by the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas in 2002, began classes in 2003, and received government authorization to start issuing student visas in 2004.

Eucon International School is a member of the American Association of Christian Schools (AACS). Eucon International College is an applicant institution for accreditation by the Transnational Association of Christian Schools and Colleges (TRACS). The college is licensed to operate on Saipan as a postsecondary, degree-granting educational institution by the Board of Regents of the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Island.

Governing Structure

Today Dr Wei resides in Saipan while serving as administrator of Eucon International School, president of Eucon International College, pastor of Chinese Bible Church International, and president of Christian Way Missions Inc.

The CWMI headquarters remains in Greenville, South Carolina, under the direction of Dr Eddie Wang, a Chinese national who was persecuted by the Communist government for 24 years and spent 9 years in labor camps. Dr Wang is also director of Chinese for Christian International and chairmain of the Eucon International College board of directors. The board con- sists of five members who are all ethnic Chinese. They are assisted by an advisory board comprised of respected educators, pastors, and missionary statesmen from the United States and China.

EIC and EIS Mission Statements

Eucon International College exists to provide quality biblical education in a Christ-honoring and Spirit-filled environment so that students may be introduced to Jesus Christ, trained in godly character and spiritual discipline, and equipped to be Christian servant-leaders in their societies and reach their homelands for Christ.

Eucon International School has been established to help parents fulfill the scriptural command to "train up a child the way that he should go . . ." (Prov. 22:6). We are in existense to train children in the right way to go. While education cannot save the child, we are admonished to bring up the child "in the nurture and admonition of the Lord" (Eph. 6:4). Our school is international in scope, which reveals our desaire to reach children of all races and nationalities, especially in an international locality. 

About Saipan

Saipan is the largest and the most populated of the 14 islands compromising the Northern Marianas, a chain that stretches across 400 miles of the western Pacific Ocean. The islands are adjacent to the Marianas Trench with the world’s greatest known ocean depth of 35810 feet. Volcanic in origin, the Marianas lie approximately 1300 miles south of Tokyo, 1400 miles east of Manila, 3200 miles west of Honolulu, and 2900 miles north of Sydney. Saipan is the closest United States territory to the mainland of China.

Saipan measures 13 miles long and 6 miles across at its widest point. The western shore is almost completely encircled by a huge barrier reef creating a beautiful, calm lagoon with sparkling white sand beaches. The native islanders are the Chamorros and Carolinians, who were enslaved and forcibly converted to Catholicism by the Spanish some 350 years ago. Germany bought Saipan from Spain in 1899 after the Spanish-American War, then occupied by Japan in 1914 during World War I. Japan lost Saipan to the United States during a series of bloody battles in World War II. On neighboring Tinian Island the Americans built the airstrip from which the atomic bombing of Japan was launched in 1945.

After the war, the United States continued to administer the Northern Marianas as a protectorate. The people have chosen to maintain commonwealth status under which they retain U.S. citizenship and protection, but have their own laws and independent constitution.
