Ocean Bridge

Ocean Bridge enhances correspondence between Study Helpers and international Students studying the printed Master Series by utilizing digital scanning technology.

Our Urgent Need

Last year, over 61,000 people requested to start a World Bible School study using Ocean Bridge.

Ocean Bridge allows us to teach international Students without the need for postal systems.

Bypassing postal systems allows us to increase the volume, speed and retention rate of our international WBS Students in various targeted regions.

How it Works

Receive, grade and upload Student answer sheets to and from Ocean Bridge and our WBS Service Centers will promptly deliver the answer sheets and next course back to your Students.

WBS Service Centers Deliver Courses

WBS has established Service Centers in key countries to recruit Students within their region. In many regions, WBS has partnered with several schools and prisons who are interested in studying our courses.

Students Study Courses

Students receive their courses from the Service Center. When a Student has completed a course, volunteers from the Service Center retrieve the Students' answer sheets and digitally scan it into the Ocean Bridge portal.

Congregations Grade Courses

Congregations will log into the Ocean Bridge portal to access their Students' answer sheets. They can then download, print, grade and scan their Students' answer sheets back into the Ocean Bridge portal.

Students Receive Graded Courses

Once congregations upload their graded answer sheets back into the Ocean Bridge portal, our Service Centers will print out and deliver the answer sheet and the next course to the proper Students.

What do you need to get started?

Internet

High-speed connection is required to send and receive scanned Student answer sheets.

Printer & Scanner

A duplex printer and two-sided scanner is needed to print, grade and scan answer sheets.

It's about building a relationship and sharing Jesus! Gather people to start grading courses!
