Chantelle has earned the right to represent the Jamaica Union at the Inter-American Division (IAD) Bible Bowl Connection, to be held December 1, 2018 in Belize.
The Bible Connection 2018 competition focused on the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and a few chapters in book, The Desire of Ages by Ellen G. White.
According to Pastor Kevan Barnaby, Youth Director of CJC, “The objective of Bible Connection is to get more youth to develop an appetite for studying the Word.” According to him, above the awards and recognition is the “greater joy that comes with studying the Word and improving one’s relationship with Jesus.”
