The Pathfinder Bible Achievement event planned for April of 2010 focuses on Jeremiah (chapters 1 - 45). In recent years Pathfinders have studied and memorized all or parts of -
  • Acts (2004-2005)
  • I Chronicles 10 - II Chronicles 9 (2005-2006)
  • Joshua (2006-2007)
  • Matthew (2007-2008)
  • II Chronicles 10-36 (2008-2009)

For clubs that accept the challenge, the study of Jeremiah can be an exciting adventure as Pathfinders from across North America search for the truths God has hidden for them in His word.

Major Areas

The purpose of this website is to help every team prepare for and reach the final event April 17, 2010. By sharing study materials here, all who put in hours creating practice questions, skits, dramatic readings, cartoons, memory songs, and various other helps can encourage not only the Pathfinders on their local team, but Pathfinders in Unions far and wide to hone their ability recall in a few seconds the answers to questions that range from -

  • naming the children of David that David had in Jerusalem (1 Chronicles 14:6-7)
  • to naming the twelve apostles (Matthew 10:2-4)
  • to listing the twenty rulers of Judah following Solomon (2 Chronicles 10-36).

While the Pathfinders learn the details and facts of Bible stories, stories that are both familiar to all and less well known, they will also be learning how much God has helped and loved His people in days gone by. They will have the opportunity to see and gain a greater understanding of God's love for them each day as they study His word.

"There is nothing more calculated to strengthen the intellect than the study of the Scriptures. No other book is so potent to elevate the thoughts, to give vigor to the faculties, as the broad ennobling truths of the Bible. If God's Word were studied as it should be, men would have a breadth of mind, a nobility of character, and a stability of purpose rarely seen in these times." -- Steps to Christ, p. 90

This website is a wiki, which means that anyone can contribute easily. Please see the last section of this page for more details.

Pathfinder Bible Achievement, or PBA, was known as Bible Bowl until about 2003. The PBA Manual describes the history of the event and its designation.

Help! I've never used a wiki before!

Relax! <smile> It's pretty easy. I've written a very short orientation. After digesting that, I suggest that you look at the Wikipedia Introduction: it's quite good. For more detailed information, you may wish to consult the User's Guide.

How to Make PDFs

Uploads to this wiki, as to many wikis, are restricted to render-friendly formats, primarily PDF files and graphics. If you would like to contribute files that are in an editable format, such as from a word processor, you'll need to render them to a PDF before the wiki software will let you upload them.

There are several ways to make a PDF from a given document. If you're on a Mac, of course, you're all set. If you're running Windows or Linux, the easiest way may be to use OpenOffice.org, the free and full-featured office suite. Highly recommended. If that doesn't suite you, I suggest PDFCreator, a free program that gives you a virtual printer, which creates PDF files instead of paper print-outs. Pdf995 has also been recommended, and appears to be similar.
