Bible Drill 
Have you been searching for a process whereby you can encourage, help and lead the people you are serving in your congregation in the memorization of scripture, learning the books of the Bible and learning key scripture passages as well as discovering the basis Doctrines of the Bible all at the same time? Perhaps you haven’t heard about Bible Skills, Drills and Thrills produced by Lifeway Christian Book Stores. Maybe you should prayerfully consider using this Bible tool to assist you with implementing the discovery of the Bible in a new and refreshing learning approach for your people in the local church.
What can you expect from Bible Skills, Drills and Thrills in the local church? First and foremost, participants will gain greater appreciation and a more thorough knowledge as well as a deeper understanding of God’s Word. This tool most definitely could be the end of your search for a solid plan and format with a timely process whereby you can see your people grow and experience an important Biblical developmental and Bible learning process that will give them the necessary Biblical foundation they need to be become Great Commission disciples and missionaries. Remember, God has promised that “… my word will not return unto me void…” Isaiah 55:11. Secondly, your people will participate with their peers in an in depth scripture learning process that can normally be accomplished within the cycle of the school calendar year with a beginning date around the time school starts back in August with a completion date near the end of April the following year. Thirdly, participants are asked and encouraged to participate in their local church’s drill conducted usually right after Spring Break. An associational drill follows normally near the end of April for all the participants who successfully complete the church drill. The associational drill is then followed by the state drill for all participants who successfully complete the associational drill. This drill is conducted during the early part of the month of May. There, participants have the opportunity to compete together with their peers in a fun-filled lifetime memorable experience that will leave an indelible impression on their lives throughout their adulthood years.
