In 1 Corinthians 9:22, Paul says, “I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some.” This statement was true for Paul and anyone who is a disciple of Christ. Jesus has called us to reach the lost in all the world, requiring us to be creative in our approach. Paul had a different approach depending on if he was in a synagogue or a pagan temple. The core message and the truth never changed, but the approach and method changed with each audience. He did this to reach every segment of society with the Gospel.
Using the example of Paul, WBS has been innovative with methods and technology. The motivation of our innovation is to equip you to reach the lost in every segment of society. We created phone apps to reach those who spend most of their digital time on a phone. We created a robust website for those who prefer computers. Through Ocean Bridge, we are investing greatly in new processes and technology to more effectively process Printed Lessons to reach those who cannot access
the internet.
WBS has also recognized that there are multiple segments of teachers and styles. World Bible School was founded with everyday Christians using the tools of their time to reach people with the Gospel. WBS is unique because each evangelism tool can be crafted to your preferred teaching method. Do you prefer linear teaching with grades? Apply to be an Online Study Helper or start a correspondence program with Printed Lessons. Do you like group discussions based on engaging videos? Go to Mathetis to create an online group Bible study. Do you like to have in-person Bible studies? You can grab a WBS Study Bible or watch Mathetis videos in person, one-on-one or in a group. These are just a few examples of how you can share Jesus with the tools of WBS.
Together, as partners in the Gospel, with our unique talents, we can effectively reach every segment of society.
If you want to energize your Study Helpers and Coordinators by starting your own Printed Lessons program with Ocean Bridge, you can reach out to Tim Yaeger or Sherri Hays. Email us at help@worldbibleschool.net or call (800) 311-2006. We are here to help you ever step of the way.

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.
This episode explains how literary context helps readers interpret the Bible responsibly. Brian, Noah, and Bryson walk through genres, authorial purpose, trains of thought, grammar, word meanings, figures of speech, and cross-references—emphasizing that Scripture should be understood in its original setting before applying it today.
