FARMINGTON HILLS, Michigan - In 2010 God blessed THE Bible Study Web Site at BibleStudy.org  with its best year in its fifteen-year history, reports full-time Webmaster and owner Alan Ruth.

Last year the site was also blessed with achieving a MAJOR milestone in reaching the whole world with the Gospel.  BibleStudy.org's Personal Answers to Bible Questions service received its 10,000th Bible question from the public during the year. Alan further reported:
 
     "The site's Question and Answer service started in September 2002 and is staffed by several hard-working, mature Christian volunteers known collectively as the Email Evangelists. Their dedication to serving God by answering sometimes difficult and heart-rending personal questions makes the service possible. The Personal Answers to Questions outreach ended 2010 with a total of 10,065 questions handled since the service began.
