The
convergence of Internet and communication technologies is creating
unprecedented opportunities for sharing the Good News of Jesus.
One-fifth of the world’s population—1.4 billion people—can access the
Internet. In an instant, they’re connected—sharing information and
building relationships. They’re also seeking answers and true purpose in
life. WBS will be there, too. We’re teaching the Gospel using
interactive Bible lessons (our printed Bible correspondence courses
continue to flourish), social networking trends, and the latest
communication technologies. From Yahoo to Yahweh, we are fulfilling the
Great Commission.
Last year, WBS enrolled over
50,000 students via technology. In 2009, we expect that number to soar
to 250,000. And that’s only the beginning. Millions will be enrolled in
the next few years as we roll out creative, proactive methods and tools.
To make this all a reality, we’re raising the needed $650,000. We’re
asking churches to join us with a special contribution on Impact Sunday,
May 31st.
ABOUT WORLD BIBLE SCHOOL
World Bible School is one of the most proven, cost-effective means of
taking the Gospel to a lost world! WBS’ mission is simple. To share
Jesus with the world’s lost by motivating and equipping a global network
of Christians to use interactive Bible studies effectively. WBS lets
everyday Christians take the Gospel into the whole world using
correspondence courses. These volunteer Christians of all ages—
thousands of them—personally teach truth-seekers who want to study the
Bible. As pen-pals would, they send notes of encouragement, but they
also send the Truth of the Gospel at the same time. WBS’ Bible lessons
have proven effective as both printed booklets and via the Internet.
For over thirty years,WBS
has been a dramatically effective outreach method.
God blesses WBS in that:
• Many millions have been taught, with over 2 million studying at any one
time, in virtually every
country on earth.
• Around 1 million new students receive their first lesson each year.
• Tens of thousands are baptized as a result of their studies.
• Countless churches are being planted.
WBS is a tax-exempt,
501(c)(3) organization working in conjunction with the Westside church
of Christ in Round Rock, Texas.
