Joseph Is More Than a Number
Brother JL Steele, the pulpit minister of the South Knoxville church of Christ, adopted Joseph Maigo from Kenya as a World Bible School Student in May. Through his study of the gospel, Joseph saw his need to be baptized.
He was submitted for Follow-up and shared the good news of his baptism with his Study Helper JL Steele in an email on July 27, where he said “I am writing to share the joyful and life-changing news that I was baptized into Christ on 26th July 2025 by Minister Edwin Mijude of the Huma Lakeview Church of Christ. This moment marked the fulfillment of my deep desire to obey the gospel, and I want to sincerely thank you for your unwavering support, teachings, and prayers throughout my study. Your efforts have borne fruit, and I give glory to God for you.”
Brother Edwin is a vigorous worker for the Lord and has accomplished much since his conversion in 2006, also through study of World Bible School courses!
We rejoice in the salvation of Joseph Maigo and ask that you pray for him as he grows in his relationship with God. And offer up a prayer of thanksgiving for Edwin Mijude and World Bible School’s continuous efforts to reach the lost!
God is good!

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.
