In 2 Corinthians 8:18-21, Paul explains to the church in Corinth that he is doing things to ensure that no one can accuse him, and those with him, of wasting the money donated for the church in Jerusalem. He says, “We want to avoid any criticism of the way we administer this liberal gift. For we are taking pains to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the Lord but also in the eyes of men” (NIV 1984).
This is a principle of discernment in accountability that WBS has embraced since its beginning! We have been blessed to have wonderful Godly servants serve as Comptroller, who embraced Paul’s words. Dot Bradley and Gale Scott were diligent in the earlier years to lay a foundation of accountability in line with Paul’s statement.
Over the last 10 years, WBS has been fortunate to have Lori Brady serve as Comptroller. She solidified and refined our accounting and human resources processes and procedures by building on the solid foundation laid by Dot and Gale.
Lori Brady retired from WBS at the end of March 2024 and will be missed dearly! She was such a vital part of the WBS family and worked hard to pass on this culture of accountability to Kelsey Taylor, who took over upon Lori’s retirement. We are grateful and extend our heartfelt thanks to Lori for all her wonderful years of service and welcome Kelsey as part of the WBS Family as she continues the tradition laid by Dot, Gale and Lori to ensure that we at WBS are glorifying God through our use of the funds provided by our generous donors. We are excited to see what the next 50 years forward will hold!

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.
