1979 saw the first UK class start in London, the result of answer to the prayers
of Thera Smith of Campus Crusade. There are now over 50 classes in England, Scotland
and Wales and over 10 in Ireland.
A little later the second International class was started in Peru followed by Canada.
Since then the ministry has grown and is now active in over 58 countries with 23,000
members in 1416 Bible Studies. The studies have now been translated into 38 languages.
This does not include the US where there are now over 700 classes (approx.) with
an additional thriving work in prisons as well as teen and children’s work.
Community Bible Study started as a result of an answer to prayer by a group in Washington
DC led by Lee Campbell. Over 500 people registered for the first class in 1975 to
study the Gospel of John.
The first mixed class started a year later and classes began to spread.
We thank God for the blessing that Community Bible Study has been to us in the UK,
giving us a wonderful tool with which to share God’s love for humanity with our friends
and neighbours. As we continue to grow, we would like to offer this to many more
people in our diverse communities in the UK. We are thrilled to have a group functioning
in Dartmoor Prison and also to support the work of CBSI in Malawi.
