As a Bible Quizzing leader, you are in a key position to mentor and disciple the youth who are a part of the Bible Quizzing ministry at your church. As a local Bible Quizzing coach, you should first:
• Pray for your quizzers
• Organize and lead weekly devotionals
• Demonstrate and facilitate interest in God’s Word
• Contact quizzers on a regular basis to encourage them
• Demonstrate good sportsmanship at all quizzing events
These items set the tone for what Bible Quizzing is about and keep you and your quizzers focused on what truly matters. Here are some additional resources to help you lead well.

Close with prayer.
