| 36 Participants were nervous but confident as the Rally began. |
I wish I had permission to play the song “I Can Only Imagine” on here– but even that does not say enough. I cannot begin to imagine what God is going to do in the lives of these young ones that participated in today’s Rally!
It never gets old. I am just as overwhelmed today as I was at the very 1st one we did. This was their 2nd year of the God Story questions. The Tie Breakers were who ever could say the most verses from Phillipians and Colossians.
Here are the statistics…
· 18 zones were represented with a total of 36 participants.
· They answered all 229 questions with 11 children still in the competition
· They quoted every verse in Phillipians – 104 Verses
· To find a winner they had to go to Colossians 1:5
· A total of 229 questions plus 109 Verses!!!
The winners were very excited to receive animals as prizes this year.
1st place received 2 female goats, 2nd 1 goat and 1 hen, 3rd 1 goat. This will help them start raising animals if they choose to do so or have a very good Christmas meal.
Of course they also got a cash prize to go along with that and a Bible. The Club Leader and Helper received a cash prize as did the Zone Leader along with the TROPHY! The winning clubs received plastic chairs.

| At the close of the Rally we fed over 200 for lunch. Look at that Tamale sky! |
What an amazing thing to be a part of. The children have worked so hard to memorize all of the answers and scriptures. The Club Leaders have worked hard teaching the children. The Zone Leaders have worked hard encouraging both the Leaders and the Children. Staff has worked hard trying to keep up with everyone and even now as I am typing this they are still cleaning up after everyone.

Yet all of this is possible only because of the generosity of many who are willing to share their blessings from God with others. We praise God for allowing us to be a part of His Kingdom!
