The Bible Verse Flashcard Project, organisers of a Bible competition dubbed “The Little Drops of The Word Bible Olympics,” has announced plans to expand the competition.
This follows the successful organisation of the competition held at the Christ the King Catholic Church in Accra, where participants from eight basic schools took part.
The competition was designed to make Bible study more engaging and accessible to children.
The participants, during the competition, showed their knowledge about the Bible as well as their confidence and teamwork through activities such as Bible recitation, sword drills, spelling challenges, and other interactive rounds.
At the end of what was a thrilling competition, Gracefield International School emerged as the eventual winner and received various awards.
Miss Maria H. Kwatchey Agozie, who led the competition, said that the initiative aimed to reach schools and inspire children to grow in faith while building their ability to speak and communicate in public.
In addition, she noted that the competition tagged “Raising Champions of the Word” was not just a contest but a movement to help children fall in love with Scriptures.
The next edition of the competition will take place on November 18, 2025, at the Legacy Girls School.

President of the Ghana Bar Association, Efua Ghartey, has called on judges and lawyers to carry out their duties with humility, fairness, and a strong sense of responsibility.
She made the appeal during the Supreme Court at 150 celebration held at the University of Ghana, under the theme “Honouring the past, celebrating the present and defining the future.”
Addressing participants, she noted that those in the legal profession occupy positions of great power and influence, and must therefore remain humble in the discharge of their duties.
She urged both the bench and the bar to deliver justice without fear or ill will, stressing the need for fairness in handling cases.
Reflecting on the significance of the celebration, she explained that the year 1876 marks not only the establishment of the Supreme Court but also the beginning of formally trained lawyers in the Gold Coast.
The GBA President questioned what Ghana would be without the rule of law, which is upheld by judges and lawyers, adding that the country could descend into a system where only the strongest survive if justice is not properly administered.
She further encouraged legal practitioners to reflect on their responsibilities and remain committed to upholding the rule of law for the benefit of all citizens.
