That\’s it!

It’s official. Another historic event has taken place.

Following months and months of careful and prayerful planning, WBS went live with the web-based courses at 11:39 PM, Sunday, February 15th. In less than two minutes of turning on our Google ads for the web courses, we had visitors on the site from China, to United Arab Emirates, from New Zealand to India and right here in the good ol’ U. S. of A.

“Ding dong.” “Ding dong.” A cool piece of technology logs our site visitors, so that every time a new visitor comes to World Bible School, I hear the sound of a doorbell ring.

I listened and watched the logs as our first student enrolled at 11:59 PM – Lisa, from Canada, followed quickly by Dheshni from South Africa, and Melvin from Spring, Texas. I had a variety of emotions as I watched real people in real-time seeking God, reading WBS lessons and taking the quizzes.

I was excited to know that even at midnight on a weekend, people could instantly begin to study the Bible. I was also humbled at how God has equipped His people in these modern times with the method and means of communicating the Gospel in a way that so quickly reaches its arms around the globe. It is not cliché to say that your support of World Bible School makes it possible for us to use technology to reach the lost at no charge to the students.

As we look together down the electronic road to the early summer, we see email and postal teachers beginning to use the new myWBS. Our department is busy getting the teachers pages ready on the new system. Along with keeping your records, you will be able to interact online with your students as well as other postal, email, and web students in the growing web community areas of myWBS.

“Ding dong.” That’s it! Gotta go see who’s just entered the site!

That’s it!
