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

Steve, I am Sarita Valdez and I live in Clovis NM. I have just recently started watching the morning news and all though I have watched it in the past I am more faithful to it now. I want you to know that I think you are very good at what you do and I see a real natural, family man loving everything he does with his work,  children,  wife,  animals and his community. And I love the way you end the news with "and may God bless". Thank you for including God in your day. Please give my regards to Marla as she does a fine job herself.      Thanks and may God bless.  Sarita E. Valdez

Support Our Bible Bee Contestant

Dear Viewers,

 

Many of you will remember NM's former Spelling Bee Champion Matthew Evans, who did extremely well in the nation wide competition for several years.  Matt aged out of the Spelling Bee, and is now off on a new adventure. He is one of the top 100 finalists for the very first National Bible Bee, to be held in Washington DC Nov. 4-6.

 

Matthew has been studying 6-7 hours a day since May.  He is memorizing 350 Bible verses and the answers to 200 questions.  To help him prepare, I quizzed him on camera recently, and you'll be able to see the videos on our morning show this week. 

 

His trip will cost about $3,500.00, and he is funding it himself.  If you would like to donate any amount to help him with expenses,, just call 505 897 9152. or email primitiveatheart@comcast.net

 

Matthew will be posting updates on Twitter, and his username is "YESIAMAWORDNERD".

 

Go Matthew!  Make us Proud again.  Good luck and may God bless.....ss
