![]() The History of Walk Thru the Bible
How are we to teach a written Word in a visual age? How are we to present sixty-six books to a world that would rather watch sixty-six channels? OUR STORY BEGINS WTB Video A young seminary student named Bruce Wilkinson realized that few people knew the whole Bruce and his team soon realized the huge need for an organization that simply focused on God's Word—not just teaching the facts of Scripture, but helping people live it out. So, in 1976, Walk Thru the Bible was born. PUTTING IT IN PRINT The Old Testament event helped ignite a passion for God's Word, but helping people sustain that passion required more. We began to publish devotional magazines Today, we publish five devotional magazines and a wide variety of small group courses and topical studies. Available in books, workbooks, small group studies, DVDs, and CDs, there is something for everyone. Live events and small group studies like A Biblical Portrait of Marriage, Solving the People Puzzle, Raise Up a Child, and The 7 Laws of the Learner have helped people around the world apply biblical principles to all areas of their lives in a realistic, relevant, life-changing way. GOING GLOBAL Much of our story involves what we have done, but where we have done it is just as much a part of who we are. Originally, we worked throughout the Southeastern part of the United States. The impact expanded to include the whole of the United States, then the United Kingdom, then India, then Ukraine, then . . . well, it just kept going. As Walk Thru the Bible grew, we began partnering with global leaders. Under the leadership of Chip Ingram, who succeeded Bruce, and Phil Tuttle, our current President, we've expanded to a network of 15 regional directors who are helping people live God's Word in over 100 countries. From business leaders in Singapore to pastors in Ghana to high school students in Paraguay, our leaders are working each day to help people fall in love with God and His Word and find their place in His story.
