My name is Josh Westbury.  On a muggy Monday morning in August of 2003 my life, as I knew it, was ruined.   On that day I was introduced to the transformational, life-altering joy of reading the Bible in its original languages.  My life would never be the same!  Learning to read the original languages enabled me to taste and see the goodness of my Lord in ways I never knew.  Knowing Him more through His Word, and helping others to do the same became the sole passion of my life.

That Monday morning was transformational in more ways than one.  Little did I know, but God had sat my future wife right in front of me in that 8am Hebrew class.  Although terrified at the prospect of learning Hebrew, after seeing her sitting in the class, I knew I had to stay.   Shortly after graduating from Houston Baptist University in 2005, Bri and I were married. 

Since 2004 I have served on staff as the Minister to Students at Wilcrest Baptist Church in Houston Texas.  I am currently finishing up my Masters of Divinity at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.   After graduating from SWBTS in December 2008, Bri and I will be moving to Stellenbsoch South Africa where I will pursue an M.A. in Biblical Languages at the University of Stellenbosch.   In addition to academics, God is opening up doors for us to join His ministry of racial reconciliation in post-apartheid South Africa.  We hope to do this through the preaching of the Gospel, teaching of His Word, and relational ministry, as well as provide support for pastors who have long worked towards this reconciliation.
