Ministries of WBM

Word Biblical Ministries serves the Church through faithful Bible translation, New Testament commentary writing, and the unwavering defense of evangelical doctrine.

Three Pillars of Ministry

Translation. Commentary. Defense.

These three emphases form the backbone of everything WBM does. They are not isolated programs but a unified strategy — each one strengthening the others — for building churches, training scholars, and grounding students in the Word of God.

Bible Translation

The African International New Testament (AFINT) — a theologically faithful, exegetically precise, and linguistically accurate English rendering of the Greek New Testament, serving churches, seminaries, and campuses worldwide.

NT Commentary

The Word Expositor's Commentary on the New Testament (WECNT) — combining scholarly exegesis with practical application, designed for pastors, seminary students, and ministry leaders who need both depth and usefulness.

Evangelical Defense

A stalwart, reasoned defense of historic evangelical doctrine — equipping churches, institutions, and students to stand firm against false teaching, theological drift, and the intellectual pressures of a post-Christian age.

Who We Serve

WBM's three ministry pillars are deployed across three strategic spheres of Christian life and formation. Select your context below to see how WBM serves you.

Ministry to Churches

Christian Churches

Word Biblical Ministries serves as a vital support to Christian churches through its commitment to faithful Bible translation, church-oriented New Testament commentary writing, and the unyielding defense of historic evangelical doctrine. These emphases equip congregations, pastors, and ministry leaders with biblically reliable tools for teaching, discipleship, spiritual formation, and doctrinal clarity.

The AFINT gives pastors and teachers a translation that reflects the Greek text transparently and consistently, enabling more precise exposition of Scripture. Written in clear, modern English while preserving the meaning of the original text, churches can use the AFINT for Bible study groups, discipleship classes, church literacy ministries, and evangelism and outreach. Pastors, elders, Sunday school teachers, and ministry workers benefit from a translation that encourages serious engagement with the biblical text while remaining accessible.

  • A trustworthy text for preaching and teaching
  • Enhanced congregational understanding
  • Support for church workers learning Scripture deeply

WBM's commentaries are designed for both academic excellence and direct church usefulness, making them ideal resources for Christian leaders. The commentaries include careful analysis of the biblical text and Practical Application sections that explain how each passage relates to preaching, discipleship, Christian living, pastoral counseling, and ethical decision-making. Pastors and Bible study leaders can rely on WBM commentaries for help with understanding difficult passages, structuring sermon outlines, developing doctrinal clarity, and making sound applications from the text.

  • Exegetically solid, pastorally oriented resources
  • Support for biblical preaching and teaching ministries
  • Strengthening biblical literacy in the congregation

WBM plays an important role in helping churches maintain doctrinal stability and biblical conviction in a rapidly changing world. WBM reinforces foundational evangelical commitments: the inspiration and infallibility of Scripture, the uniqueness of Christ, salvation by grace through faith, the death and resurrection of Jesus, and the reality of sin and the necessity of redemption. Through its publications and teaching, WBM equips pastors and believers to recognize and withstand liberal reinterpretations of Scripture, pseudo-Christian spiritual movements, prosperity distortions, postmodern and relativistic challenges, and moral and doctrinal compromise.

  • Upholding biblical authority and evangelical doctrine
  • Guarding churches from false teaching
  • Encouraging churches to stand firm in the faith

WBM's combined ministries produce a powerful effect on the life of the local church. Accurate translation combined with solid commentary produces clear, faithful preaching. Believers grow when they are taught Scripture accurately and applied responsibly. Churches grounded in evangelical truth stand firm against confusion and cultural pressure. Pastors and teachers equipped with quality resources can train the next generation of leaders.

  • Stronger preaching through accurate translation and solid commentary
  • Stronger discipleship through responsible application
  • Stronger doctrinal clarity and leadership formation
