Primary Schools Bible Competition (PSBC)
Population: 10,000 | 2023 Budget: ₦2249435.00 | Project Number: 000050
Nigeria's
current population has 46 percent of children under the age of 15 years. Children
are precious gifts from God and, as a result, must be protected and directed in
the right path from the beginning of their lives.
Unfortunately,
these children are exposed to all sorts of social vices in forms of violence
and abuse. Some of the ills suffered by children are a result of poor parenting and education
devoid of moral uprightness.
These social
vices do not affect the only children, but also, the society as well. To raise
a generation of morally upright children, there is need to focus on the moral
training of the children.
The Bible Society of Nigeria designed the Primary
Schools Bible Competition (PSBC), for pupils in primary schools to afford the
children the opportunity to engage with the Word of God which will teach them
morals useful for life – leadership, perseverance, love, brotherliness,
responsibility, faithfulness, teamwork, and good attitude.
Reading the Bible will help the children to
know who God is, teach them about God's character and communicate
His love for them.
