What Bible does The Way International use? Are multiple versions used?
The Way International uses many different versions of the Bible in its research and teaching. However, the primary version used in our research and by those who attend our meetings is the King James Version. The King James Version is preferred because words added by translators are in italics, and it is the version that most Biblical reference materials are keyed to, such as concordances and interlinears.

Historical
Who founded The Way International?
The Founding President of The Way International was Dr. Victor Paul Wierwille. For over forty years, he devoted his major energies to intensive research and teaching of the accuracy of God’s Word.
What is the Rock of Ages?
The Rock of Ages was originally a week-long Christian festival hosted annually by The Way International from 1971 to 1995. Festival goers traveled to the Rock of Ages from all around the world. At its peak, attendance reached about 16,000 participants. The culmination of the Rock of Ages was the commissioning of the Word Over the World (WOW) Ambassadors, who were sent in teams to speak and minister the Word of God in select communities throughout the United States and other countries.
In 2022, The Way International launched the Young Adult Rock, a Christian festival for young people ages eighteen to thirty-five that took place over the course of a weekend in August. There will be another Young Adult Rock in August of 2024, and there will be a Rock of Ages in 2025. This modern-day Rock of Ages will be a blend of previous Rock of Ages events, the Young Adult Rocks, and other ministry events, with a goal of meeting the needs of today’s generations.
