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 and classes began to spread. 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 nearly 100 classes in England, Scotland and Wales and over 12 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 82 countries with over 93,000 members. The studies have now been translated into over 60 languages. This does not include the USA where there are now over 700 classes (approx.) with an additional thriving work in prisons as well as teen and children’s work. 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 transforming 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.
