The Baptist State Convention of North Carolina (BSC)

recently hosted the State Youth/High School Bible Drill and Speakers’

Tournament Finals at Abbotts Creek

Missionary Baptist

Church in High

Point. Bible drillers were greeted with colorful

balloons, a host of church volunteers and welcome signs.

The state finals drill is the last drill before the National

Invitational Youth Bible Drill and Speakers’ Tournament, which will be held

this year in Birmingham, Ala.,

on June 24.

To be eligible for the State Tournament, students had to win

at the church and association level, as well as at a regional tournament

(regional drills were formerly referred to as state drills).

This year six churches across North

Carolina hosted 657 drillers and three speakers at

the regional tournaments.

“Churches really stepped up to the plate this year in taking

ownership of this wonderful ministry. They are really catching the vision of

what Bible Drill should be and it’s so exciting to watch,” said Deborah Robson,

BSC Bible drill coordinator. “Learning

truths from God’s Word really is the foundation to growing in our relationship

with Jesus.”

Online Bible Drill registration continues to be successful,

as more and more churches are “going green” and putting aside the hard copy

registration forms. Churches can register at www.myncbaptist.org.

Next year it will be even easier for church drill leaders

and associations to download the church and association drills. They will be

able to do so online through a password protected venue. Information

will be sent out in January.

The North Carolina Bible Drill site, www.ncbibledrill.com,

is updated often with news and information. The Red Cycle/Cycle 1 verses are

already online for Bible Drill 2012.

North Carolina Bible Drillers and leaders can also get

updates and share ideas on the Bible Drill Facebook page Churches and

associations interested in starting a Bible Drill can contact Robson at [email protected].
