Follow-up has always been a creative partnership between Study Helpers, missionaries, local evangelists and WBS staff. However, the biggest partner in our Follow-up has been God! We never miss an opportunity to pray for our Students as we seek to assist them in being baptized and in finding their place in the body of Christ.
Online Follow-up has been a blessing as we have crafted a digital means of correspondence on our website and smartphone apps. Just like with Postal, we are ever trying to build a network of volunteers who can help. Visit worldbibleschool.net/follow-up to learn how you can partner with us to connect Students with the Lord’s church.
New tools, like Ocean Bridge, require new methods for Follow-up. The speed of lesson turn-around and the high percentage of Student retention is demanding swifter Follow-up. The time it takes to build this capacity has been challenging in some countries. Congregations such as the Prattville church of Christ in Alabama and the Concord Road church of Christ in Nashville, Tennessee, are helping us craft new effective means to accomplish Follow-up for Ocean Bridge.
Below are some ideas on how we can make our Follow-up even more effective:
Finally, thank you for all you do to help Followup with Students longing for true life in Christ!

In this episode of One More Chapter, Brian Rex Davis, Noah Davis, and Bryson Davis continue their study of biblical “principle”, explaining how general teachings give inclusive guidance that can be applied in various ways, while specific commands are authoritative and must shape belief and practice.
This episode of One More Chapter continues the series on Bible study by introducing the idea of “principle” as a way to bridge what a passage originally meant and what it means today, after first stressing purpose and context. The team takes a long–but useful–detour into Bible translations and versions—covering textual preservation, the spectrum from word-for-word to paraphrase, group vs. single-translator work, Dead Sea Scrolls, and which editions they personally use (NASB 1995, ESV, NIV 1984, etc.). The discussion on ‘principle’ will continue in the next episode!
This episode explores how understanding the purpose behind a Bible passage helps bridge the gap between what it originally meant and how it should shape life today. Brian, Noah, and Bryson discuss how purpose protects against shallow, checklist-style interpretation and helps distinguish enduring principles and examples from incidental details.
Brian Rex Davis sits down with Sahadevudu Vanga of India, a fellow missionary since gospel meetings in 1995. They talk about World Bible School’s renewed work in India and the effort to put Telugu translations and advanced courses—especially The Kingdom of God—into digital form. The conversation also covers family ministry, cultural care in a changing India, and tools that serve the next generation of the church.
