WBS Comptroller
We are excited about the many plans that are in place as we work toward the goals set for ACTION! – some of which, such as the addition of ACTION! Podcasts, are highlighted in this issue. To drive these efforts forward WBS has launched a new department, the Department of ACTION! Media. Jeff Hussey, of Round Rock, TX, has been tapped to head up this new department as the ACTION! Media and Marketing Manager.
Jeff has a wealth of experience in technology, media and operations. He previously worked for Apple, before becoming the COO of an international contact center. He oversees the adult education curriculum and technology at his local congregation; and is in charge of operations for Artisan Leaders, a new personal, spiritual and professional development program which launched at the beginning of this year. Artisan Leaders was featured in ACTION! Magazine’s winter issue.
Jeff writes, “A few years ago, I decided I wanted to work 100% of the time in the Kingdom. Since making that decision, God has blessed me with two wonderful opportunities, first with Artisan Leaders and now WBS. I am both humbled and excited to work with the WBS team to reach the far corners of the world and proclaim the Good News!”
With the launch of this new department and the addition of Jeff to manage it, we are looking forward to seeing what God will accomplish throughout this new chapter!
We are currently seeking new positions in Finance, Advancement, Church Relations and Graphic Design. If you or someone you know is interested in joining our team, please send your resume and a short letter sharing why you would like to work with us to help@worldbibleschool.net.

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.
