Members of The Salvation Army Kaua‘i Bible Bowl Team will represent the Hawaiian and Pacific Islands Division in the Territorial Bible Bowl Playoffs to be held in Cerritos, California, in June 2007.
The team participated in a divisional playoff recently in Honolulu and was victorious over a team which combined teens from The Salvation Army Kahului Corps on Maui and Hilo Temple Corps on the Big Island.
“The Salvation Army Bible Bowl program was instituted to get young people into God’s Word. It involves intensive Bible study and Bible memorization of the New Testament Book of Acts. Teams compete against one another by answering Bible quiz questions. They receive points according to the questions’ degree of difficulty. Team members must be 12 n 18 years of age and active members of The Salvation Army church,” states a recent press release sent by Joy Groenleer.
