I remain in awe of how dedicated each and every Study Helper is to adopt so many Students each month. Jesus told His disciples to GO into all the world. You continue to fulfill that commission today! If you notice, the Student Board, it is relatively low but the registrations remain at near record levels. This means you are answering the call. You are sending the light into the world.
We never know who God will send our way. Even when many stop their progress, a few continue. Jesus promised wide was the path to destruction, with many who follow, and narrow was the gate to life, with few who will follow that path. Continue to adopt these precious souls. You may be the first caring friend they have. You may offer some peace in a difficult time. You never know their past story but God has placed you in their present story to share Jesus!
In May 2023, we saw the following activity:

Marsha submitted one of her students for Follow-up in the early part of May.
Quickly, Marsha connected Debra with the minister of the Northeast church of Christ from Kingsport, TN named Jay. He contacted Debra and visited her in person. Jay could tell she loved the Lord very much and had a good understanding of the truth and meaning of having her sins washed away. Debra explained how she recently learned so much from World Bible School and from her Study Helper, Marsha.
Jay became Debra’s Follow-up Partner and baptized her that week! The Northeast church of Christ has connections with a hotel allowing the church to use the swimming pool for baptisms. In a hotel swimming pool, Debra had her sins washed away!
“I had so much weight lifted from my shoulders.” Debra shared how she felt after being born again. Wishing she had taken the step much sooner, Debra felt so thankful that WBS pointed her in the right direction.
Debra does not have a car, at the time of this post, but the Northeast church of Christ has embraced her and is assisting Debra in attending church services. What an amazing modern-day example of Acts 2 when the body of Christ had all things in common and shared with those in need.
If you would like to send us stories of your Students, please email us pictures and information to help@worldbibleschool.net. Ask your Student for permission to share their story with others.

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.
