I’ve been attending church since I was a child, and reading the Bible. A primary Sunday School teacher motivated me to memorize it. By the time I became a teenager and got involved in ‘Truth for Youth’ Bible Quiz movement I was committed. But I have to admit I was always confused.
There was …
- Genesis, the beginning;
- Exodus, that told the story of Moses;
- Samuel, that told about Samuel and
- Kings that told stories about the kings.But ‘Where did all those prophets fit in?‘ and ‘How did there get to be a ‘Kingdom of Judah’?
I always wished someone would put the whole thing in order. Then I attended a ‘Walk Thru the Bible’ Seminar. Wow!!
A gifted teacher telling the story, in the order it occurred, from beginning to end, using the latest techniques. People having fun and learning like they never thought possible. I was blown away.
When the opportunity presented itself to become a Walk Thru the Bible instructor I was ‘all there’. Impacting the lives of adults and kids by creating a hunger for the Word of God. Removing the intimidation factor by making it fun.
Its been great. But it hasn’t been enough.
After fifteen years of working with what I consider the greatest Bible teaching ministry on the face of the earth, I find we’re further behind (in Canada) than we were when I began.
- Church attendance is on the decline.
- Christians aren’t reading the Bible. Only 14% of Canadian Christians read the Bible more than weekly. – Canadian Bible Engagement Survey, 2013
- We don’t know it. 50% of Christians in Canada believe the contains irreconcilable contradictions. – CBES, and, as a result,
- Too often we don’t live it.
We need a grass roots movement to get people into God’s Word.
That’s why we’re proposing
‘The Canadian Bible Engagement Project’.
