I really love your page. I haven't read all of it yet but I've already been both encouraged and convicted. :) I'm responding to your question about how to motivate children to memorize the Bible. At 18 I'm sort of a kid that's being motivated. what got me started in bible memorization was a Bible Quiz program. Last year we quized on Romans and James, and as I started studying I just fell in love with the books as they really came alive and ministered to me and seemed to apply to so much. So although it sort of motivated me to study for the wrong reasons (to be good at quizzing) it ended up with me memorizing for the right reasons (because it draws me closer to my saviour). I think that the quiz program is really good because we do it for the Lord. We always pray before our quizes and give God the glory for our successes. It's done so much for our team in that we talk about the Lord now. We can almost always quote a verse that pertains to the conversation, and we've found a lot of humor in the scriptures. :) Another way of helping kids memorize the Bible is through videos. I babysit for a family of eight children and they have several parts of Matthew memorized from watching "The Visual Bible" -videos done word for word from the NIV version of the Bible. Our team uses them for studying and they're pretty good. Peter doesn't seem as sanguin as we imagined him but Oh Well . . .:) Thank you so much for your page, -- --------- Grace and Peace, Amy Martindale ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com =============================================================================== Date: Sat, 12 Sep 1998 20:16:53 -0600 (MDT) Subject: Re: please include me From: "R.

Write out the verse on the board, erase the last verse, class reads verse while (hopefully) remembering the last word. This is repeated with every word being erased from the end until the students memorize the verse. Results are great short-term but long term it's not too good.

From: Drake Mariani Hearing your youthful enthusiasm is so invigorating to me. Reminds me of when I was 21 at Arrowhead Springs in CA for the CC for Christ College retreat (1964).*- I had trusted Christ in March and my discipler immediately launched me memorizing verses to grow by. I've done everything I can imagine wrong since then regarding Scripture memory but one - Quit. Then I travelled for 35 days from San Bernardino CA to the World's Fair in NY with a buddy. We took no money (Mark 6), shared Christ with nearly every ride (hitch-hiking), and shared with about 10 folks a day. What a glorious faith growing trip it was. Rich (my buddy) still walks with Christ. That weekend (CCC) was momentous. I met my future wife Gina (now married 33 years!!!), and realized God had called me to full-time ministry and said YES! I'm still in full time ministry brother and sister in Christ, Bless His faithfulness, mercy and grace to Gina and me! Remain strong in that zeal! You lift us all up! We desire that each one of you show the same diligence, so as to realize the full assurance of hope until the end. Heb. 6:11 He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much; and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much. Lk 16:10 Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith.

From: "Lorry Schoenly" Hi, All! I just discovered this list and it is just what I needed. The Lord has been gracious to me [again]. I have been diligently memorizing scripture for about 18 months and it has been very fruitful. I have now quite an unweldy pile of index cards and am befuddled as to how to keep up review and go on to new verses. The Website online book on scripture memory has encouraged me to start memorizing chapters now :-). That will be a new challenge. I am glad for this list as I hope to gain encouragment to stay with it. I am a 42 yo wife and mother of a 20yo son. I work as a nurse educator in a business setting. I do my scripture memory work while commuting 2 hours daily. [I know this is a no-no but it works for me - especially the review part]. Am looking forward to fellowship and encouragement.......

It is an awesome program. I am a 36 year old homeschooling mother of 2. My oldest child (14) has been involved in Bible quizing for 3 years now. My youngest will be quizing this year too as we tackle Acts. My husband has coached for the past 2 years & this year looks like I will be coaching as well. If any of you live in Whatcom county WA you could get involved & inspired by these super kids & how well they do memorizing scripture. The program is a national program & adults are always needed to help coach, time keep, score keep or help in other ways. It is open to kids grades 6-12. There are many different denominations that do quizing. We quiz through YEA which is non-denominational Bible Quizing program. To find out about quizing in your area check http://www.vcnet.com/RichardWm/emaildir.htm On this site is a resource of names and E-Mail addresses of some of those interested or involved in teen Bible quizzing in different geographical areas around the US & Canada. If you do not have internet & would like this list contact me & will send you a copy. If you do not see your area that doesn't mean there is not quizing in your area so don't give up. You can contact me & I will try to help you find a program.

I've been involved in Bible Quizzing since 1987 (4 years as a quizzer, and the rest as a coach). It's really an awesome privlige to listen to a teenager quote through a book (or books) of the Bible nearly word perfect. This year our quizzers are working on the book of Acts, which I did as a quizzer 8 years ago. I'm determined to learn/re-learn it with them this year, so far I'm through chapter 6. -Lee Schaeffer lschaefnb.net Pittsburgh Bible Quizzing ===============================================================================
