ore than 2,000 locally operated Discover Bible Schools in North America will play a vital role in preparing for NET 2003, says James W. Gilley, vice president for the North American Division. "For churches with a Discover Bible School, now is the time to develop more interests. For others, this is a great opportunity to get one started."

Mass mailings and door-to-door distribution of enrollment cards have both proven effective in cultivating interest in personal Bible studies. For details on either organizing a local Discover Bible School or personally inviting neighbors to study the Bible guides, phone 1-877-955-2525 for an information packet.

Voice of Prophecy radio broadcasts encourage listeners to enroll for the Discover Bible guides. Persons signing up now will be ready to dig deeper into Bible prophecy when NET 2003 begins. As opening night draws near, the broadcasts will announce the series. In most areas a church can request a free 90-second promotional spot at the end of the VOP program to advertise its Discover Bible School or other local activities.

Preparation for NET 2003 includes three interactive Sabbath afternoon training sessions by satellite on January 25, March 15, and April 19.

Handbills that feature the headline "What's Next?" must be ordered by January 31 from Color Press, Walla Walla, Washington (1-800-222-2145). The handbills will be mailed to arrive at every home in a zip code area a week before the series begins.
