Founder of Bible.org
The founder of Bible.org wishes to remain anonymous (cf. Matt 23:11-12). The Lord gave him a vision for developing an internet platform so that gifted teachers could teach to millions of people by posting their good, solid Bible study material on the web. In 1994 he founded Biblical Studies Foundation (also known as Bible.org). He grew up attending a church in Texas where Hampton Keathley III was pastor for many years.
