National Bible Bee Competition

National Bible Bee Competition

The Shelby Foundation began a scripture memory competition in 2007.  They desired through their non-profit organization to encourage youth to study the Word of God and to memorize it. 

I participated in it the year that it began as well as the following year, afterwards graduating out of the qualifying age category.

The first year I participated, we were given a booklet to memorize covering several topics, cards to memorize containing bible related questions and answers, and a list of 1200 verses of scripture to impress into our minds in those few summer months.  

The second year’s materials were similar, but were more family-oriented then the previous year.

Through extensive study and memorization of the scripture which was encouraged by the National Bible Bee Competition, I embedded a general reference of important scriptures into my knowledge as well as gained a better understanding of the Christian make-up which has provided wisdom on many critical issues in my personal life.  

Firstly, I would like to say thank you to all who volunteer their time and funds to promote this influential, God-honoring cause.  I have talked with youth nation-wide who have been positively affected by your efforts. Thank-you!

Secondly, I encourage parents and youth alike to get involved with this great opportunity to not only build a network of friendship with Christ-centered people, but more importantly to hide the Word of God in your hearts and minds. What holds more value?
