Bible quiz, a way to make Christ known

KOTA KINABALU – St Jerome, a priest and monk, and a Doctor of the Church, who is renowned for his extraordinary depth of learning and translations of the Bible into Latin, is well known for his saying “Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ”.

Following the traditions of the Catholic Church, the Children Ministry, called as the Royal Ambassadors (RA), of the Light of Jesus Christ Covenant Community (LJCCC), has made it a priority for the children to know Christ through knowing Scripture (using the method of Bible Quiz).

To encourage their hard work and to inculcate a lively interest, the kids are acknowledged by way of an annual award at the close of the community year, this year on 17 Nov 2018.

There are two awards which are categorically given for 1) Bible knowledge (this year’s topics are on the Ten Commandments – Exodus 19-20) and the Armour of God – Ephesians 6); and for 2) Most Stars Achieved for RA attendance and participation in all activities, as well as practising the Godly value of helping one another with assignment, and assignment of duties.

This year, the Bible Quiz Award went to Eve Ivanna (94), Jordan Voo (92) and Caleb Chin (89).  The Most Star Award went to Nicholas Kong (233), Jordan Voo (184) and Caleb Chin (172).

 The keen response of the children has further encouraged the RA facilitators to continue with the program to instill active involvement, as well as to become a way of learning Godly values in their coming together and growing together as a community of children in the RA. – LJCCC
