Please read the following letter and testimonial submitted by a Mother from one of our UBA churches:
"I would love to help promote the Association Bible Drill program...you see when our son (3 year state winner) first started Bible Drill, he had learning/reading disabilities. In fact, our other children questioned him even 'doing' Bible Drill. But he was determined....he would lay in bed at night and practice reading the verses, which was a major accomplishment. Night after night for weeks he would do this, trying to read the verses. The lady at our church who served as our Bible Drill leader never gave up on him. She challenged him to memorize 1 verse, then 2 more, and before we knew it, he had all 25. In the Key Passage Drill, where you must read a verse, he struggled, but he made it. As he did his first church drill, and passed, we (the church director and myself) were both in tears because we witnessed God's grace on a little boy. And when he won State drill, we let him choose where to eat lunch. But another thing happened...his grades in school began to improve, his reading skills improved a lot, and he was very thankful to God for helping him, because he knew "he can do all things through Christ who gives him strength'. So Bible Drill is very important to this family. Thank you for making it available."
