Back in October I began working with a wonderful group of 24 kids
preparing for Texas Bible Bowl competition the last weekend in March. If you’re not familiar with Texas Bible Bowl,
it is the program that filled the void when several of our Christian colleges
like OC, Harding and ACU stopped hosting National Bible Bowl.
My kiddos were blessed to compete in National Bible Bowl at ACU,
OC and Tulsa Soul Winning Workshop. When
the college stopped sponsoring National Bible Bowl, a really great group of men
took up the mantle and formed Texas Bible Bowl.
It is the same testing format but in a family camp environment that
allows like-minded kids to get to know each other better.
The campout is a weekend event with the 250 question test being
only a small portion of the weekend. The
nice thing is the kids get to know youth from other congregations across the
state. The same kids they will run into
at LTC or college orientations, etc. I
think it’s a great networking tool for the young people who will further the
Lord’s body.
Caleb, Richard, Ryan and Abigail are taking a little heat about
their team score this year. They have
been the highest team score in every division they have competed for the last
nine years. It will be interesting to
see if that success continues. I’ve told
them, if this year they don’t take first, they know how hard they have worked
and as their coach/mom, I couldn’t be more proud of the amazing young people
they have become!
Individually, Caleb has taken the highest overall score every year
for the last nine years, except for the one year Abigail beat him by two
points. She has great aspirations of
beating him one last time! If they were
going to be competitive at least it’s over Bible knowledge.
Watch for great posts in early April about the huge
accomplishments of these 24 kiddos! They
are all really amazing and have big hearts for the Lord! If you’re reading this
and in the area, check out Texas Bible Bowl, we would love to see you there!
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth. 3 John 4
