Why Start a Bible Quizzing Team?

1. STEADY SPIRITUAL GROWTH IN THE LIVES OF TEENS

Jeremiah 23:29 states, “Is not my word like fire, declares the Lord, and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?” Regular time spent in fellowship with God through His Word cannot help but change lives. The “fire” and “hammer” of the Word of God works on our hearts, clearing away the waste and leaving only what is good.

2. INCREASED SHARING OF THE GOSPEL WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS

As one of our veteran players has stated, “It’s tough to have so much of God’s Word in you without doing what it says to do, and it says to share the love of God with others.” A very natural result of Bible Quizzing competition has been the sharing of one’s faith with parents and friends and then seeing God work in their lives.

3. TEENS COMMITTING THEIR LIVES TO FULL-TIME CHRISTIAN MINISTRY

Since 1973, WBQA has been responsible for thousands of teens spending consistent time in God’s Word. During this time, God has called hundreds of young people into the ministry. Today, the influence of former Bible Quizzing players is felt on every continent of the earth.

4. IMPROVED SCHOOL WORK THROUGH THE LEARNING OF GOOD STUDY SKILLS

Luke 6:38 says, “Give, and it will be given to you.” Repeatedly, we have seen God pour confidence, self esteem, teamwork skills, speaking ability and other mental abilities into the lives of young people who have given of themselves to spend time in God’s Word.

5. INCREASED FRIENDSHIPS

Often a Christian young person feels like they are alone in the large population of their middle schools and high schools. Bible Quizzing provides the opportunity for teens to establish friendships with other committed young people from many backgrounds
and denominations and from many corners of the USA and Canada.

6. GROWTH OF A MATURE COMPETITIVE SPIRIT

The hallmark of Bible Quizzing competition is that teens have learned to compete WITH other teams and not AGAINST them. It is not an unfamiliar sight to see the finalists at the world championships join hands and ask God to bless each team equally.
