The African United Christian Leaders Association on Saturday held its National Youth Bible Quiz Competition at the Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) AA2 in Kuje, FCT.
Rev. Brown Godwill, President of the association who spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) shortly after the Competition said the quiz competition is aimed at encouraging the younger ones with Bible knowledge.
Godwill said the practice of Sunday School was declining especially with the coming of COVID-19 pandemic in the country, adding that there was a need to encourage Christian education in schools.
According to him, the association is also saddled with the responsibility of teaching the young ones to have a good knowledge of the Bible and grow a generation that will know and serve God.
“We want to groom them in Bible knowledge and understanding to make sure our children don’t decline in Christian education and put into practice.
“We always make reference to a generation that do not know God neither the miracles he did among the Jews after the death of Joshua in the book of Judges.
“They will be able to carry out the challenges of youth restiveness if they have good Bible knowledge and will influence their own generation,” he said.
However, the President called on youths in the country to serve God with all their hearts and have a good knowledge of the Bible for the development of the country.
