Thank you for your commitment to Children's Bible Drill in Kentucky! Let me introduce myself. My name is Diane Kiser. Bible Drill has been my passion for thirty years, since my children were in 4th and 6th grade and I started the program at my church, Beacon Hill. It has been my pleasure to serve as church leader, associational leader, and state conductor or judge for many of those years in both Children's and Youth Drills. John Bennett, KBC Preschool and Children's Ministry Consultant, has asked me to coordinate Children's Bible Drills in the state this year. Below is some valuable information that I hope will be helpful to you. 2014 State Children's Bible Drill Dates / Locations / Site Coordinators:  St. Matthews Baptist Church (Louisville) 3515 Grandview Ave. St. Matthews, KY 40207 (502) 992-9000 Contact: David Garrard (502) 896-8882x107 [email protected] Friday, April 25th  FBC Bowling Green (Bowling Green) 621 E. 12th Ave. Bowling Green, KY 42101 (270) 842-0331 Contact: Vickie Donelson [email protected] Saturday, May 3rd  Beacon Hill Baptist Church (Somerset) 4705 South Highway 27, Somerset, KY 42503 (606) 678-4159 Contact: Diane Kiser (606) 679-6408 [email protected] Saturday, May 10th  Marion Baptist Church (Marion) 131 E.

Individual Retail Price = $12.99 Carton Qty = 32; LCS Carton Qty Price per Unit = $7.31 • KY will no longer use the NIV as a Bible Drill option due to the “gender-inclusive” version released in 2011 and the SBC/KBC concerns with it. I realize this will be an adjustment for all of us that have used NIV for years. But it is best to make a clean break with a version that no longer reflects our beliefs. Although the 1984 issue is great, it might be confusing to new folks coming into Bible Drill as to which NIV is acceptable to use. Children's Bible Drill is on the Green Cycle in 2014: Materials are available on the KBC website: kybaptist.org click “Church Revitalization” click “Preschool & Children's Ministries I will be having Children's Bible Drill break-out sessions at the Imagine Preschool and Children's Ministry Conference in Bardstown on January 31 – February 1. Pray that many new churches will gain interest in starting drill programs and that established programs will grow. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me, we will learn together. I am honored and excited to be working with you as we plant God's Word in tender hearts. Thank you for all you do. Your work is making an eternal difference! In His Service (and lovin' it!), Diane Kiser 606-679-6408 [email protected]
