Sometimes, ministries of the church can inadvertently become locked in time. The world changes around us requiring new tools for a timeless message. Generations struggle to bridge the communication gap. As World Bible School is dedicated to one of the timeless teachings of Jesus, namely EVANGELISM, we feel an urgent commitment to ensure that WBS empowers the next generation to share Jesus with the world.
This can be seen in our commitment to tools crafted for the time in which we live. This can be seen in the updating of the look and feel of WBS tools in order to avoid the perception of being locked in the past.
In our 50 Forward celebration, we very much honor the past – the shoulders on which we stand – while inviting you into the forward-leaning goals of the next 50 years.
We believe that continuing into the next generation is a choice. And we ask you to make that choice with us. We also believe that this choice must be a prayer just as Jesus prayed for next generations.
“I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me” (John 17:20-21 ESV).
Consider with us how to help your next generation at your congregation be empowered to share Jesus with WBS tools. Consider who will be your “Timothy” or “Tabitha” to carry on using these powerful evangelism tools. Should you need help in casting that vision and in connecting with your next generation, don’t hesitate to call. We are in this together until Jesus comes!

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.
