NATIONAL BIBLE BOWL

Reading this bookcould save your life

and the lives of thosewhom worship

with you.

Author: Paula L. Ratliff Email: [email protected]

CRIME HAS ENTEREDOUR PLACES OF WORSHIP.

A go-to guide for ministers, church members,law enforcement, and security officials.

Easy read for anyone interested incriminal behavior and true crime.

Provides recommendations that you canimplement to keep your facility safe.


Josiah Gorman, Executive DirectorThis year you may have noticed something different about the National Bible Bowl tournament held with the North American Christian Convention: video cameras, and lots of them. That’s because a crew decided to document all the goings on of the event; from the kid’s studying and playing, to them praying and hanging out, to the tears of joy and sadness that come with the end of every Bible Bowl year.

It seemed to go quite well, but as of my writing this we still haven’t seen the show yet. We’ll see what was created on December 28th. If you didn’t watch it during the first airing, I highly encourage you to find it: it will show what life at the North American is like for a few of our Bible Bowl teams.

If you have any questions about Bible Bowl, maybe the TV documentary or maybe you were involved some time ago and want to see how things are different now, I encourage you to contact me by phone (513) 858-2695 or by email ([email protected]), and I’d love to answer any questions you have.

I’d like to thank all of you that have supported Bible Bowl through the years, and I’d like to thank the NACC for 51 years of partnership and Kingdom building.
