We believe in the research, teaching, and application of God’s Word in order for people to transform their lives and live a life of abundance and power.
John 10:10:
…I [Jesus Christ] am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Why are we so interested in providing Biblical research, teaching, and fellowship to others?
The Word of God is that food required by man so that he may first know and then act on God’s Word and thereby manifest the more abundant life. Lack of spiritual strength caused by neglect of the Word of God may today be attributed to the fact that the Bible is not understood when read. People have not been taught how to understand things like figures of speech, Eastern customs, and the accuracy of the Word. Our ministry provides this service and direction.
John 14:6:
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
What is The Way International?
The Way International is a worldwide, nondenominational Biblical research, teaching, and fellowship ministry headquartered in rural Ohio. It is designed to teach those who are hungering and thirsting for the truth how to understand the Bible.
Matthew 5:6:
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
The Way is a unique venture in the study and practical application of the Bible. We are dedicated to setting before people the astonishing accuracy and practicality of God’s Word and letting people decide for themselves whether or not to believe it or use it.
I Thessalonians 5:21:
Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
Research
Our research has been done from a positive framework. Research doesn’t begin with the answers; it looks for the answers. We don’t present Biblical research to be argumentative or apologetic. We set forth our study as workmen of the Word of God, realizing that if the research is a right dividing (a perfectly right cutting) of God’s Word, many who believe will be blessed.
We do not commit our work to publication until we are fully persuaded on a subject. After all, research doesn’t mean a simple, cursory reading. It denotes study, observation, and unemotional, detached consideration.
The Word of God is the will of God. If we sincerely want answers and believe in God’s authority, we must study the revelation given in His Word. The Word of God as originally given by inspiration was perfect. But translations of the Bible are not without errors. Many errors have crept into the translations of God’s Word since its first writings.
Since 1942, our ministry has provided Biblical research that is being used throughout the world today to get back to the God-breathed original.
II Timothy 3:16,17:
All scripture is given by inspiration of God [God-breathed], and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
That the man of God may be perfect [equipped], throughly furnished [fully equipped] unto all good works.
Teaching
For God’s plan in His Word to be made known requires someone teaching it to willing students—those who want to know. Teaching gives the details of how to get the Word into our lives—it’s specific instruction on the will of God.
The Way Ministry is designed for serious Biblical students who want to discipline themselves to the Word—disciples. Not all people want that, so we are a unique group with unique offerings of service.
Fellowship
First and foremost, we each enjoy fellowship with our heavenly Father. Then, as faithful followers of our Lord Jesus Christ, we enjoy the fellowship of one another.
The life of our ministry is at the home fellowship level. The “church”—the called-out body of believers—meets together in private homes for supervised fellowships, which include a short, positive teaching from the Bible, words of edification and comfort, prayer, and singing. In our fellowships, The Way Ministry teaches what we have researched in our over seventy-five-year history. We are ever seeking to teach how to better appropriate the promises that God has given us of a more abundant life.
The Way International
The Way is a fellowship of the followers of the Lord Jesus Christ for the manifestation of the more abundant life. A follower of The Way is filled with and manifests power from on high, holy spirit, and freely avails himself of fellowship meetings for spiritual nurture and growth. The Way fellowship is cemented together by the Spirit of God with each individual believer being transformed by the renewing of his mind according to the Word of God.
Biblical research, teaching, and fellowship is our ministry, and with it comes a myriad of supporting responsibilities to see that God’s Word prevails in our day and time.
Acts 19:20:
So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.
