Speaking at the finals held at Northern Caribbean University (NCU), Pastor Dane Fletcher, Youth Ministries Director JAMU said, “The Bible Connection is not just to test knowledge and get to be a Union Champion. It is to help all young people to be champions. The ultimate prize is an experience out of this world -to live and reign with Christ.”
Chambers, who is a graduate of NCU, and a member of the Dover Adventist Church will go on to represent the JAMU in Curaçao at the IAD finals on November 23. She will match wits with the other 23 Union participants across the IAD.
She currently serves her local church as the Sabbath School Superintendent, as well as Assistant Adventurers Director of the Antares Pathfinder Club. She notes that her journey to success was far from easy.

“Preparing for this quiz is not just about memorizing questions or answers, but it's about understanding the scriptures and the various stories found in the books given,” explained Chambers. “The various lessons highlighted in each book studied motivated me to apply these lessons learnt to my life, and to continue to rely on God for help and strength, knowing that when you stand up for God, He will stand up for you”.
She (Chambers), also had a word for other young people. “I would encourage all Adventist youth to get on board, because this is a means by which we can develop the habit of reading our Bibles more, while fellowshipping with other young people”.
