LOGOS Bible Quiz Inspires Young Minds at Mount Carmel School, New Delhi
Over 300 Attend Annual Scripture-Based Competition Celebrating Faith and Knowledge
New Delhi, May 8, 2025: It was on a bright Thursday morning, as they stepped onto the vibrant campus of Mount Carmel School, Anand Niketan, New Delhi, the air was filled with energy and expectation as students from across Delhi gathered for an event that had, over the years, become a spiritual landmark: the LOGOS Bible Quiz. Rev. Gershombhai Khristi, Auxiliary Secretary, expressed that it was a great honor to be invited as the Chief Guest for the grand occasion, a first for the Bible Society of India, North West India Auxiliary. They were welcomed by the joyful sounds of children preparing for the stage round, teachers making final adjustments to the arrangements, and banners displaying the timeless words of Scripture. It had been evident that this was more than an academic event; it was a celebration of the living Word of God.
‘LOGOS’, organized annually by the school’s Value Education Department, brought together young minds from Christian schools across Delhi to engage in thoughtful and meaningful study of the Bible. This year, the quiz had focused on the books of Ruth, Micah, and 1 and 2 Timothy. He had remarked that the methodology and standard of the competition were of exceptional quality. As the quiz began, the auxiliary Secretary found himself completely overwhelmed by the participants — children who answered complex questions with clarity and confidence, quoting Scripture not merely as a memorized exercise but as a truth they genuinely believed. It had been clear to them that the Word had taken root in these young hearts.
Over 300 people — students, teachers, parents, and guests had witnessed this joyful expression of faith. The Auxiliary Secretary had the opportunity to share a few words, encouraging the students to continue walking in the light of the Word and reminding them that the Bible was not just a book to be studied, but a guide to be lived. After the event, Rev. Gershombhai sat down with the Principal and Vice Principal of the school. Their conversation turned toward the future, as they explored the possibility of building a partnership between Mount Carmel School and the Bible Society of India. They discussed ways of journeying together to make the Bible more accessible and engaging for students. There had been mutual excitement about the possibilities — Bible storytelling sessions, Scripture-based seminars, and youth engagement projects that could be carried out jointly in the coming months.
The Secretary, felt that the visit had meant more than just attending as a guest; it was like a divine appointment. Witnessing young hearts embrace God’s Word, seeing a school community rooted in Scripture, and representing the Bible Society of India in that sacred space had been a deeply humbling experience. As they walked out the school gates, their hearts were full. The seeds of Scripture had not only been sown but they were growing, blooming, and bearing fruit. They felt reassured once more that the ministry they served was not in vain, for God’s Word was indeed alive, and the children were living proof of that truth.
To God be all the glory.
Electronic Board for Scripture Engagement in a Public Square:
The Electronic Board is used to display Bible verses in public spaces, sharing Scripture through specialized software or apps. This helps make God’s Word accessible and visible in our daily lives. This is one of the most important instruments in fulfilling our BSI mandate of Scripture Engagement in a Public Square.
Spiritual Impact: By displaying Scripture, the board offers spiritual encouragement and guidance to the public. It reflects the Christian mission of providing both spiritual and practical support, helping individuals deepen their personal walk with God. In a fast-changing world, technology can serve as a powerful tool to spread the unchanging truth of the Bible.
Vision and Provision: Rev. Gershombhai Khristi, Auxiliary Secretary of BSI, NWIA, envisioned installing an Electronic Board on the NWIA campus. He shared this desire with donors, and Mrs. E. Daniel, a member of the Mary Jones Women Fellowship, generously responded through her cousin, Mr. A. L. S. Daniels in Australia. Through his sponsorship, the board was installed and is now actively sharing Bible verses with the public to read whoever passes by our Bible House in 10 Parliament Street in New Delhi. We thank God for His perfect timing in providing this means of ministering to those in need.
