“Bible memorization has the effect of making our gaze on Jesus steadier and clearer.” - John Piper
At FCA KIDS we want our students to store God's Word in their hearts. One way we seek to do that is to challenge the students to memorize verses from the Bible. If a student is able to recite their verse from memory they will receive one FCA KIDS BUCK per verse recited. Students will be able to recite up to 3 verses a week and earn no more than 3 FCA KIDS BUCKS per week. FCA KIDS BUCKS can be redeemed for prizes (snacks, Bibles, devotionals, FCA gear, etc). Students can cash in their BUCKS immediately or they can save them for more "expensive" items.
