We are so thankful.
God has blessed World Bible School in such powerful, meaningful, visible ways. I’ve tried to keep you up-to-date throughout the year in letters like this one, through our quarterly ACTION! magazine, at greater brotherhood and WBS-specific events, and—to my own great encouragement—in personal conversations and visits. I have so many stories… (Find some of them at worldbibleschool.net/action)
I want to take this last opportunity to remind you of the overwhelming success of our 10,000,000 for Christ efforts. God has blessed this campaign beyond our imagination when we began it at the beginning of 2022. Imagine: 13,781,070. This significant number counts all the ways God has enabled us to share the Gospel through our tools— through just November 30. Each number represents a soul who was presented the opportunity to study the Gospel through one of our many outreach efforts. Here’s a more meaningful big number that flows from the former: 2,635,187. That’s nearly one out of five souls who chose to engage in Bible study through one of our tools.
We are also thankful for your financial partnership with WBS before. The beauty of God’s blessing WBS is obviously lost souls coming to know God, His Son, and the truth of the Gospel. And His blessing obviously also opens more and more doors for us to reach all the more. But those doors require resources to be able to enter them. We are poised and ready to do just that in 2024 with renewed commitment, investment, action and love for the lost. Please continue with us by giving again these last days of the year.
Help us equip the next generation to reach the next generation—and beyond—with Jesus. Click here to give.

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.
