Anil Kumar (in green) once again hosted Brian and Sondra to an area-wide meeting where leaders in various states of India came to discuss the possibilities of reaching more souls for Christ through World Bible School. With great creativity and vision, ideas were shared and relationships for cooperative work were formed. This gentleman (top right) said that he had begun the translation of WBS lessons into his language because he longed for his people to know the Gospel of Jesus!
These church leaders are working on a plan (below) to expand their Student recruitment and network of Follow-up volunteers. WBS helps the church live out the good works for which Jesus called us! It is an honor to serve alongside our Indian brethren.
THE MASSES AND THE VIBRANCY OF INDIA RAISE OUR AWARENESS OF THE URGENCY OF THE GREAT COMMISSION!
Your giving last year has made it possible to say “yes” to many of these plans as we coordinate the printing of courses, the recruitment of Students, and the inspiring of Study Helpers both in the United States and in India.
(Right) Brother Sahadevudu and his son Sahan work alongside of Brian Davis and Anil Kumar in Andra Pradesh State to finalize the WBS Master Series in the Telegu language for our digital publication and local printing. Furthermore, advanced studies that have already been translated are being updated and prepared for digital publication. We hope these tools will lead many to Christ!
(Above) This gentleman learned about Jesus through World Bible School in the 1980’s. He came to one of our leadership meetings and told his story. There was no church in his town. He used the WBS “Guide to New Testament Christianity” advance course to start the church, and it is still thriving today! Now he is adding his voice to the call for more preachers to collaborate and cooperate using WBS tools for the advancement of the kingdom of Christ!
Sondra Davis was able to speak to hundreds of ladies at various gatherings. Many had enrolled and graduated from the WBS Master Series Courses.
Brother Dyakar coordinates Gospel Share Ministries in many areas of India. He especially has a passion for reaching the youth of India with the Gospel of Jesus. While speaking to a large group of church leaders about the importance of WBS tools, he said: “WBS is like a well in a dry land people may not see the water immediately but when the bucket goes down life comes up.”

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.
