A balloon game to help children learn the scriptures at Bible Olympics in 2016

We live in a day where biblical literacy is on the decline.  In fact, some consider the rate of illiteracy so alarming, they refer to it as an epidemic. From working in apartment ministry through the years, we have seen too that many people who are new to faith, or close to beginning their faith journey, simply haven’t had much interaction with or awareness of the biblical message.

Bible Olympics has been a part of Mission Arlington’s repertoire for as far back as any of us can remember. It is our effort, as the book of Proverb contends, to “train up a child” in the way that they should go.  The Olympic efforts of Mission Arlington^® are designed to teach the children God’s word in creative and fun ways.

This annual event uses creative games, crafts, and loving mentors to educate children about biblical organization and content.  The point, however, isn’t Bible trivia, but introducing students to Christ, and to the transforming power of God’s word.

With free food and transportation, we are looking forward to a great day. We are grateful for your constant, faithful support. Thank you, and all glory to God.
