BIBLE QUIZZING
To the casual observer, Bible quizzing is a sport in which two teams match knowledge, speed, memory, and quickness of response against one another on a designated portion of Scripture. However, quizzing offers much more than just competition and sport. The program involves memorizing a specific book or books of the Bible for each quiz year. By becoming involved in memorization, young people develop a love and respect for the Bible. The Word is planted in their hearts and dynamically influences them.
Statistics show that of those who spend at least 3 consecutive years in a quizzing program, 90% never backslide/leave church, and 70% of the 10% that do leave eventually return back to church.
