"Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life,to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody." I Thessalonians 4:11 NKJV

Notice that the last part of this scripture states, "that you will not be dependent on anybody", but in fact THESE same HANDS relied on by others. World Bible School relies on hands like these to give a helping hand. The hands in this blog are from WBS study helpers at the Hartsville Pike Church of Christ located in Gallatin, Tennessee. In 2008 more than a million Bible correspondence courses were sent out to students. thousands of hands like these made it possible. The following song sung by Amy Grant has words that express it so well.
