Happy New Year!  Wednesday, January 7 is the monthly day of prayer for Junior Bible Quiz.  The Transfiguration was life-changing for the disciples.  This pivotal moment was documented by three different Gospel writers (read Matthew 17:1-13) and referenced by Peter in his second epistle.  Initially, Peter got it wrong; he wanted to memorialize the moment, but God said, “This is my … Son … listen to Him.”  Peter realized his focus needed to be on Jesus, on God’s Word, rather than on the past (2 Peter 1:19-20).  As we begin this new year, let’s remember God’s faithful providence, but let us pray for His “something new.”  Read Isaiah 43:18-19.  Pray for His new plan in your life, your ministry, your family, your church.  May God richly bless you in 2026 and beyond!

I wanted to remind everyone that your JBQ registration for the 2025-2026 season is due this month.  There will be a late fee after February 2nd.  You can register online at the link below.

 At the JBQ meet on February 7th we will be asking for t-shirt sizes for all your quizzers who have quizzed out this year.  I have attached a form so you can fill it out in advance and then add anyone who quizzes out at the meet.  This form must be turned in to your Area Coordinator at the meet so we can order the t-shirts on Monday, February 9th.  We will pass the shirts out at the March meet.  The t-shirts are an award for the quizzers who quizzed out this year so we do not charge for them, but we will be taking up an offering at the March meet to help cover the cost.  

If you have a suggestion for this year’s Quiz Out Kids t-shirt I would love to hear from you.  

Stay safe and warm this weekend!  If we all get snowed in it might be a great time for some extra JBQ study time.  You could check out the link below for the 50 in 50 JBQ Challenge.

Sunday, December 7 is the monthly day of prayer for Junior Bible Quiz.  Ephesians:1:18, “I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich inheritance.”  John 1:9, “the one who is the true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.”  Praise God for His Son who was sent to give us light.  Pray that our hearts will be so full of light that our lives will radiate that light.  Pray that we will be brilliant lights (stars) to illuminate the way for those who are seeking Jesus.  We have the hope for a lost world.  Merry Christmas!

You are invited to join JBQ family from around the nation in prayer held on the 7^th day of each month at 8:00 PM Eastern.  This 30 minute zoom call will unite prayer warriors for the continuous growth and success of this incredible ministry.  Let’s come together, believing that where two or more are gathered, believing and asking in His name, we will start to see a mighty move of discipleship and growth in JBQ!
