The Scripture Union Sierra Leone on Wednesday, 22nd February 2023 at the Hope Assembly of God Church Old Lunsar Road in Makeni organized a day regional Bible quiz competition featuring six areas in the Northern region, Makeni Area, Kabala Area, Lower Tonko, Upper Tonko, Mile 91, and Kabala Area.

According to Reverend John Amadu Fornah, National Ministry Coordinator of the Scripture Union Sierra Leone stated that their main focus is on the children and the youths by bringing the word of God to their doorsteps

He said, “Initially it was for the children that’s why it was called Children with Special Service Mission but because these children have to become youths that is why the name was changed to Scripture Union targeting both categories.”

He revealed that the Bible quiz is a series of competitions that commenced at the school level while the winners of the different areas are the ones that compete at the regional level for a spot in the national competition scheduled for Tuesday in Freetown

Reverend John Amadu Fornah further tendered appreciation to individuals and organisations that provide support to Scripture Union Sierra Leone noting
