Bible Quiz Competitions
// Heather Williams Katz
Last month, I wrote about our youth groups that are continuing to grow and flourish.
In February, we hosted our first Bible quiz competition for our youth groups, and it was a great success! The youth divided into groups of three or four for this very exciting tournament; we had seven teams compete. The teenagers have been working for the past few months to memorize the first six chapters of Genesis, the subject for this month’s quiz. We will continue to have competitions monthly until the final round during the summer months.
Ashanty Perez, George Jean, and Yelbi Jean compete as a team during the Bible memory competition. We have multiple rounds of two teams competing against each other to win the prize in the final competition.
I have been very impressed with how many of the teens are memorizing the chapters and taking it seriously. I believe one of the most important things we can do for our children and youth is to help them memorize Godʼs Word. When we go through difficult times, verses that we have memorized often come to our mind, give us peace, and guide us. We praise the Lord that these competitions are helping motivate our youth to memorize large portions of Scripture, and we hope to get more youth and churches involved in the future. ~Heather Williams Katz
