NAIROBI, Kenya, Sep 16 — The Embassy of Israel in Kenya and the Evangelical Alliance of Kenya (EAK) have launched a national Bible trivia competition targeting young people aged 18 to 35, combining Bible education, digital gaming and lessons on environmental stewardship drawn from the Old Testament.
📻 Breaking It Down
The competition will feature online preliminary rounds, with registration open until the end of September. The top 10 participants will advance to a physical final scheduled for November 3.
Deputy Ambassador of Israel to Kenya Ariel Arviv said the initiative is being held in Kenya for the first time, building on a similar annual Bible trivia competition conducted in Israel since the country’s establishment in 1948.
“I’m very happy to launch the Bible trivia this year officially. It’s a first-time initiative here, but we have done it in Israel since the establishment of the country in 1948,” Arviv said.
📌 What You Need to Know
Arviv said the initiative seeks to use the Bible as common ground for young people while encouraging them to learn more about its teachings, themselves and issues affecting society.
She said the Bible contains lessons on humanity, how people treat one another and the environment, with the competition intended to encourage young people to engage with scripture.
The environmental stewardship theme is drawn from teachings in the Old Testament and seeks to encourage participants to consider the relationship between people, creation and their responsibility towards the environment alongside their Bible knowledge.
The initiative also uses digital platforms to make Bible learning more accessible, with organisers seeking to reach participants beyond Nairobi and encourage continued engagement with scripture.
The competition is being implemented with the support of Games on the Go, a digital knowledge and skills gaming platform available through the mySafaricom app and as a standalone mobile application.
Games on the Go CEO Brian Ndungu Wathome said the platform will enable the competition to reach participants across different parts of the country.
