WBS Comptroller
As we begin 2025, World Bible School is blessed to welcome two new members to our team. We are always encouraged when God connects us to people that bring in fresh talent and experience, and who are eager to put their unique gifts to work at WBS.
Our Support department was thrilled to add Travena Rogan, from Lebanon, Tennessee as a Support Associate at the start of the year. Travena has a strong background in customer service, working primarily in the healthcare industry, and we are looking forward to having her share her skills and knowledge with WBS. She also speaks at Christian women’s events across the country.
Regarding her new role, Travena writes, “Perfect is not what I seek to be, but a follower of Jesus is where my footsteps will be. I’ve prayed periodically to be able to work in ministry and God has tremendously blessed me. I am humbly excited to be a part of the Support Team and further the Kingdom through WBS.”
In more good news, Joshua Cook joined WBS in early February as a Regional Advancement Representative for his home state of Tennessee, where he lives in Rockvale. With a master’s degree in Ministry from Freed-Hardeman University, Josh has served as a minister in multiple congregations of the Lord’s church throughout Tennessee, and he is ready to continue his path with WBS.
Josh shares, “What an honor it is to serve World Bible School and to offer congregations the means to advance God’s kingdom on earth. The future of Christianity is indeed bright, beloved. For my part, I’m truly excited to support this visionary organization as it continues to shine the Gospel light in such an attractive, effective, and inviting way.”
We are grateful for the opportunity to grow our team here at WBS, and know that God has great plans in store for both Travena and Josh in 2025.
We are currently seeking new full and part-time positions within our Support, Marketing, Finance, Advancement and Church Relations departments. If you are 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.
