World Bible School

God's love is elegant and powerful. Christ embodied that love unto death. Today, that same love motivates the people of God to share their faith in Jesus with others using Bible correspondence courses as the teaching mechanism. Since the 1950's, WBS has been sending Bible correspondence courses free-of-charge to students around the world. WBS now serves over 2 million students from 141 nations.

The courses were first written by Christians for Christians who served in the armed forces overseas. These men and women separated by war and distance from other believers had difficulty finding opportunities to gather for fellowship, Bible study, prayer and encouragement. To their delight, the Christian service men found their fellow soldiers had a great interest and hunger for learning from the Word of God and they began sharing the materials with thousands who were not Christians.

WBS continues to send Bible study correspondence courses to eager students through the postal mail, by email, and on the world wide web. Of course, they are all STILL - free of charge.

At GCR the WBS ministry has taken a bold, new approach. Coupling correspondence courses with follow up visits from local workers and aggressive enrollment recruitment practices, GCR's WBS ministry in Kenya has touched thousands of lives and resulted in the creation of dozens of new churches.

As these new churches began to see the needs of their communities, they longed to be able to care for the hundreds of orphans and widows of Africa's tragic AIDS crisis. God answered their prayers and hundreds of donors in the United States now support a series or orphanages, built with the assistance of these new churches.
