Description of the Way International
The Way 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. The Way is a unique venture in the study and practical application of the Bible. It is dedicated to setting before people the astonishing accuracy and practicality of Gods Word and letting people decide for themselves whether or not to believe it or use it.
Their research has been done from a positive framework. Research doesnt begin with the answers; it looks for the answers. They dont present Biblical research to be argumentative or apologetic. The followers of the Way set forth our study as a workman of the Word of God, realizing that if the research is a right dividing (a perfectly right cutting) of Gods 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 doesnt mean a simple, cursory reading. It denotes study, observation, and unemotional, detached consideration.
If we sincerely want answers and believe in Gods authority, we must study the revelation given in His Word.
The Word of God does not say of itself that translations of the Bible are without errors. Many errors have crept into the translations of Gods Word since its first writings.
Since 1942, our ministry has provided Biblical research that is being used throughout the world today.
Why are we so interested in providing Biblical research, teaching, and fellowship to others? Because the Word of God is that food required by man so that he may renew his mind 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, what revelation truly is, and the accuracy of the Word. Our ministry provides this service and direction.
For Gods plan in His Word to be made known requires someone teaching it to willing studentsthose who want to know. Teaching gives the details of how to get the Word into our livesits specific instruction on the will of God. The Way Ministry is for serious Biblical students who want to discipline themselves to the Worddisciples. Not all people want that. We are a unique group with unique offerings of service.
The life of our ministry is at the home fellowship level. The "church"the called-out body of believersmeets 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 sixty-year history. We are ever seeking to teach how to better appropriate the promises that God has given us of a more abundant life.
Definition of the Way International
The following is the definition of the Way International as found in The Way Magazine, a regular publication of the Way:
"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."
