During the last week of July, children from The Jungle School, our after school Bible Club (Club Victoriosos), and from local churches endeavored to memorize 20 Bible verses, or 5 verses each week, to be ready for an evaluation at the end of August. If they could do this, a group called SuperAventuras would reward each child with their very own Bible or a book of Biblical stories for the younger children.
152 children from The Jungle School, 20 children from Club Victoriosos, and 145 participants from the churches of San Andres and Santa Elena completed the challenge. I was so impressed with their dedication and with the speed they could rattle off the verses. It was so beautiful to witness the kids opening their Bibles, pointing at the pictures, and reading to each other.
