Writing Is a Part of the Bible Drill and Speakers Experience

In today’s culture where the electronic media significantly affects knowledge intake and decision making,
we have become less effective in how we, in composition, communicate what we really want
to say. There is a strong correlation between being able to read and write well and heathy self-esteem
and career success. To write well is to communicate well. It is an important life skill that will bear fruit in
our interpersonal and professional relationships.
As Christ followers, we should be willing and able to effectively communicate what and why we believe
what we do about our faith experience. “… and if anyone asks about the hope living within you, always be
ready to explain your faith with gentleness and respect.” (I Peter 3:15). Georgia Baptist Bible Drill and
Speakers believes this is so important we are offering $500 scholarships each year to a high school and
college student who best exhibits his/her writing skills in essay form.
Each fall we choose a relevant and timely topic listed on our web page for students to address. Essay
guidelines are also listed on the web page. We encourage students to not only creatively think and use
words to convey their thoughts, but to seek mentors who can encourage and assist them in this important
discipline. For more information visit our Essay Contest webpage or contact Maria Brannen at: maria@bibledrilland speakers.com or (470)
650-8452.
