What a welcome! Follow-up teams from several states in Nigeria greeted Brian and Sondra upon their arrival at the airport. Because of a flight delay, the Nigerian Follow-up teams, along with local and national news media, waited several hours for their arrival to greet them.
Godwin Isaac (left), National Coordinator for WBS in Nigeria, and Chad Wagner (right), President of the African Christian Schools Foundation, worked together to plan a dynamic program to encourage WBS Follow-up teams and church leadership participation.
(Pictured below) Brian and Chad join in a group prayer with Biodun Owalabi, Provost of Western Nigerian Christian Bible College, Monday John Akpakpan, WBS Follow-up worker since 1973, Mike Udom, Director of the WBS Great Workshop and Godwin Isaac.
Brother Akpakpan challenged all 600 church leaders and WBS Follow-up workers attending the WBS Great Workshop to work together in unity and in love with WBS tools so that God could use everyone in a mighty way to share Jesus with Nigeria and beyond!

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.
