Bible Bee update

 

 

Hi everyone,

It has been a long day here in D.C.   The opening ceremony began bright and early this morning at 7:45 am and we just got back to our room around 11:00 pm this evening.  Matthew competed in an oral round this morning (4 Bible memory verses and 4 Bible knowledge questions) and then took the written test right after lunch.  After a short break, he competed in another oral round this afternoon.  Both oral rounds went well with Matthew able to say all the verses and he also thought he did fairly well on the written test.  We found out late this evening, though, that his score wasn't high enough to place him in the top 20 and eligible to compete in the semifinals tomorrow morning.   While all of us would have loved to see him advance to the next level, we're so grateful for all he's learned in this competition and know that God's Word will continue to work in his life.  Thank you all so much for praying for Matthew as he competed.  Our whole family really appreciates your prayers and support.

 

Blessings,

The Evans Family
