Recently, Dimpo Motimele (South Africa), George Funk (Australia), and Charles Odoi (Ghana) visited us at the WBS headquarters in Austin, TX. These men are leaders of one of our most valuable sister ministry relationships, Gospel Chariot / Gospel Share Ministries.
These ministries have been experiencing explosive growth as they have been training young Christians around the world to go into empty fields, sow the Gospel seed through evangelism, disciple those who willingly follow Jesus, form the harvest into vibrant churches, and produce self-sustaining leadership for exponential growth! The Gospel Chariot / Gospel Share Ministries call this program “Four Fields Training.”
I have had the pleasure of fellowshipping with many of these indigenous leaders and they are on fire for Jesus! In a recent online meeting, we exchanged ideas of how those planting new churches can best deploy the tools of WBS with a synergistic effect.
As a church planting missionary, I have used similar methods over the years for church planting movements. Within each one of the empty fields where Sondra and I labored, WBS Students had already been prepared by the massive seed sowing of WBS Study Helpers. How exciting to see our brothers and sisters around the globe taking these principles and putting them into ACTION!
Therefore we are partnering with the Four Fields Training program, calling it “WBS Gather.” WBS tools are especially helpful with seed sowing and discipleship. WBS depends on church planters and leaders to provide the follow-up and the church family environment for our WBS Students who become New Testament Christians. With Four Fields Training, our WBS Students will be challenged to not only become Christians, but to evangelize their neighbors to become Christians; not only to find their place in the church, but to plant new churches.
WBS is excited about how our two efforts can bring about explosive synergy! We are exploring all ways possible to maximize our impact on our world. 10-Million for Christ? How about 8-billion for Christ?!
Our first WBS Gather meeting will be Tuesday, March 21, 2023 at 05:00 p.m. Universal Time UTC. To join our Zoom meeting click the following link:

This episode of One More Chapter explores how to properly apply Bible study today by first determining a passage’s original meaning, purpose, principles, and precedents, then bringing those forward without imposing modern customs or values onto the Scripture.
In this episode of One More Chapter, Brian Rex Davis and his co-hosts Noah and Bryson Continue their discussion of the concepts of purpose, principle, and precedent and how they help bridge the gap between meaning and application. They classify different types of biblical precedents—such as accepting both the practice and principle of baptism, retaining principles while adapting culturally bound practices like greetings or modesty, and rejecting both when Scripture indicates—and illustrate necessary inference through Peter’s experience with Cornelius in Acts 10–11.
When Stephenie signed up on the World Bible School website to study the Bible by mail, she couldn’t have known where those lessons would lead. This summer, they led to
This episode of One More Chapter continues the series on Bible study principles for bridging the gap between a passage’s original meaning and its application today. Hosts Brian Rex Davis, Noah Davis, and Bryson Davis review “purpose” and “principle,” then focus on “precedent”, emphasizing how approved apostolic examples establish binding patterns when they carry theological significance—while incidental details do not.
