Arise, click and SOW! It’s a great start to the year! We had over 21,700 Students in January who registered on the WBS Online platform. Students are registering in record numbers, and this is possible because God has blessed us with online tools to reach more seekers in many new ways. What does this mean for you? It’s time to arise, click and SOW! Yes, we have record registrations, but that also means our Student Board is creeping higher. As of February 14, 2024, more than 2,000 Students are on the board. I encourage you to rise, lift your phone, open your computer, open your WBS app, get your coffee, and sign in today. Next, keep clicking. Click to adopt, click to introduce yourself, and click to provide feedback. The click of your mouse and trackpad is powerful enough to sow the seed of God’s Word and water the ground in the heart of a Student.
Now, arise, click, SOW, and gather members in your congregation to join you in Sharing Jesus with World Bible School.
In January 2024, we saw the following activity:
Online Registrations
Online Activity
Online Follow-up Activity
Yohane is a great example of a seed growing into a sower. He lives in Malawi and registered for WBS Online in July 2022 and completed the Master Series by the end of March 2023. Since then, he has completed all five of the supplemental courses as well. Having previously been sprinkled with water, Yohane learned of his need to be baptized by immersion for the forgiveness of his sins. His Study Helper, submitted him for Follow-up. One of our Follow-up Partners reached out to Yohane and arranged to meet with him. Yohane was baptized into Christ and connected with a local congregation in January of 2024.
Yohane’s Follow-up Partner wrote this, “He has passion to serve God.” After his baptism, Yohane wrote to WBS saying, “Looking forward to working with you in spreading the Good News of our Lord Jesus Christ and His Church.” And that is just what he has done. He is now an online Study Helper working to sow seeds in the Kingdom!

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.
