bf the Open Door so far has had no one challenge their claim to having the largest prayer meeting in the world. The figure: 2,000 average with up to 2,500 some Wednesdays. Letters have come in from ’ pastors all over the nation asking how it’s done. To the church’s pastor, ex- Texan, J. Vernon McGee, the answer is simple. Get them into the Word of God. And to pastor McGee this is no figure of speech. He does get his people into the Word. His method is so simple that many

find it hard to believe. He starts- with Genesis and in 12 months takes the congregation through the entire Bible. That’s all. The people read and Pastor McGee explains. The key is that the people, many for the first time, read their Bible from start to finish just like any other book. In conjunction with the Through the Bible in a Year program, McGee has a daily radio broadcast and a book, Briefing the Bible,' that many of his people have found helpful in their study of the Word.
