Getting Kids Involved

Children (grades 4-6) and Youth (grades 7-9) Bible Drills have proven to be an effective method of involving children and youth in scripture memorization. It is a fun way of challenging them to “hide God’s Word in their hearts” (Psalm 119) in order to prepare them to face life’s challenges in the years ahead. Children and youth who participate in Bible Drills are able to quote and quickly find more scripture than most adults!

Participation in Youth Speakers’ Tournament (grades 10-12) helps teenagers research a topic and then write a Biblically-based speech about the topic. It helps our youth focus on what they believe and why. It is great preparation for whatever area of service God may lead them into later in their lives.

Note: NIV Bibles** LifeWay no longer publishes the NIV Bible. Therefore, the "official" NIV Bible Drill Bible (as determined by the Southeastern States Discipleship group) can be ordered from the International Bible Society (IBS). Order the 'burgundy' NIV Bible, item #172, which costs $7.99 for a single Bible (or $6.50 in bundles of 24) plus shipping and handling. Contact IBS at 800.524.1588 or www.IBSdirect.com. If you go to their website, enter the item number in the 'quick search' on the left. Remember, children Bible drillers may use any KJV, NIV or HCS Bible that meets the specifications of the official Bible. Youth Bible Drillers must use an official KJV or NIV Only Bible Drill Bible.
