Pray, germinate and grow! We continue to see monthly total Online Student registrations of over 20,000! Imagine that! By the end of March, we will have had the opportunity to connect with the same number of people who attended the Super Bowl in 2024. For those who watched it or looked at pictures, you can grasp how many people 60,000 looks like. Each Student who registers is an opportunity to reach that soul with the Gospel of Christ. As you sow the seed, the next best task we can do is pray. Pray for that Student’s heart to be softened and pray that God will work in the life of the Student. Offer to pray for your Student too. They will know someone is willing to care for them and listen. Pray that the seed you plant will germinate and that God will cause the growth. Pray for your own wisdom to know how to water the seed. Then watch God work. We see His work of growth in the harvest each month. This past February, we had 38 confirmed baptisms into Christ. That is exciting! Pray those new disciples will grow and become sowers themselves of the Good News of Jesus.
In February 2024, we saw the following activity:

Thank you to Jaylyl for sending us this Follow-up story about one of his Students!
Martin studied for several months when he displayed an interest in being baptized. I submitted him for Follow-up and Gary was assigned to him. Gary and I did our best to contact local congregations near him but could not reach anyone. I began to tell my wife about the challenges Gary and I were facing for Martin, but we both agreed that God would provide and provide he did. As I contemplated the two-hour drive over from my house in GA to go and baptize Martin, my wife suggested that I look up any other congregations close by and see if they could do it. I looked at the map and saw that the Martin’s city was near the Cusseta Road church of Christ. I provided all of the contact information to Gary. Gary, in turn, contacted the preacher over there, and, as they say, the rest is history.
Let’s rejoice with Martin in his new walk in Christ!

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.
