Wow! Eight million, seven hundred and ninety-three thousand, sixty-seven souls have received an offer to study the Bible using one of our WBS tools. Many questioned this ambitious goal at the start of 2022. Now we sit only a few months away from not only reaching, but exceeding this faith-based goal by the end of 2023! God can do some incredible things through the workers in His Kingdom. May God be praised.
With staggering numbers like these, many times it is easy to lose sight of the reality of this incredible accomplishment. This is not just meant to be an impressive data point. Each number represents an individual soul whom God loves and extends His offer of grace, forgiveness and hope.
I’m reminded of what Jesus said in Luke 12:6-7, “Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.” What an awesome God we serve. Each one of us is not just a number to God, but a beloved being made in His image.
When we consider the eventual 10,000,000 souls who will be presented with the opportunity to study the Gospel, this number hardly scratches the surface of souls in this world who need Jesus. In Luke 10:2, Jesus said “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”
Our mission at WBS is not to take the place of Jesus’ workers (that’s YOU!), but to motivate and equip you with tools to effectively reach the world as Jesus calls us to do.

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.
