Bible Society Organises School Bible Quiz

The annual national Secondary School Bible Quiz organised by The Bible Society of Nigeria (BSN) will hold this year tomorrow, November 5, 2021.

According to the Manager, Media and Public Relations of BSN, Benjamin Mordi, ‘The programme, which takes place at The Apostolic Church, Palmgrove, Lagos, will feature eight schools, each from the eight zones of the BSN across the country, with two students representing each of the participating schools’.

He said: “The contestants are expected to answer questions drawn from the books of Judges and Galatians, while 10 secondary schools in Lagos are expected to constitute the audience. The overall winner of the competition will receive a trophy and a cash prize while the other participants will have consolation prizes.”.

He explained that the quiz is one of the many programmes organised by the BSN in fulfillment of its mission to meet the scripture needs of Nigerians and to help them interact with the word of God.

“As an annual event, the quiz serves to provide a platform for the youths to internalize biblical values to help them to become better citizens and responsible leaders to build a better Nigeria. The BSN is a not-for-profit interdenominational Christian organisation that translates the Bible into Nigerian languages, publishes, distributes the Scriptures and raises funds for the Bible work. So far, we have the full Bible in 26 Nigerian Languages, while Bible translations/revision are on-going in 10 Nigerian Languages,” he added.
