How to have a Bible Reading Marathon
- Love the word of God.
- Want others to know about The Truth.
- Plan it for your situation.
- Read
Like so many thing in life...a Bible Reading Marathon can be simple
or complex depending on your goal and intention. You will need to consider the following
general areas:
- Planning
- Preparation
- Set-up
- The reading
- Follow-up
Questions to help you focus
- Will you read the New Testament or whole Bible?
- Will reading be in a non-church, public setting?
- How wide of participation by churches?
- How many and which local churches will you have participate?
- Do you need permission/authorization to read?
- Are permits needed?
- Can security for the readers be arranged? (Many young people will
want to stay the whole time.)
- Do you want to distribute Bible?
- How many chairs? Tables? Restrooms? Lighting?
- Who will set-up? Dismantle and clean up?
- What if it rains?
- Contact media for advertisement?
- Is funding needed for supplies, security personnel, lighting...
- How will you schedule people or groups to be responsible to
supervising the reading?
- What translation will you use?
- Will any one in governmental and/or civic organization participate?
- Will you need a mic and public address system?
- Are you planning too big? Too small?
- Most importantly, will this public reading of God's Word bring Glory
and Honor to God?
- A public reading of the New Testament is WORK.
