Pathfinder Clubs Gather for “Pathfinder Bible Experience”

Pathfinder clubs from across the Gulf States Conference came together for the Pathfinder Bible Experience (PBE), an event designed to challenge young participants in their biblical knowledge and strengthen their faith. The competition was held February 15, 2025, and encouraged youth ages 10-15 to dedicate months of study, develop teamwork skills, and grow spiritually through an immersive experience.

Marcelo Mansur, pastor, attended the event and emphasized the significance of the gathering. “This is a generation of young people who love to study and memorize Scripture. Through them, the Gospel will be preached to the whole world.” He highlighted how events like these not only reinforce knowledge, but also inspire young people to become ambassadors of faith in their communities.

A Journey of Preparation

For Nihanna Seth from Alabama, the competition was an opportunity to grow spiritually, meet new friends, and challenge herself in an engaging way. She had been preparing for four months, immersing herself in Scripture, and refining her understanding of the material.

In addition to her, Kaylee Torres had been preparing since the last competition, supported by her church and teammates. She described her team navigating the highs and lows of the competition with determination. “My team had a lot of energy but still knew what they were doing,” she explained.

Meanwhile, Janice Gomez from Club Orion in Mississippi, reflected on her two months of preparation. She was excited to participate, recognizing that the questions allowed her to engage with Scripture more actively, learning from both correct and incorrect answers.

The Power of Scripture

and Teamwork

The Pathfinder Bible Experience is more than a test of knowledge — it is a journey of faith. Through months of preparation, participants not only memorized Bible passages, but also developed discipline, teamwork, and a deeper understanding of God’s Word. The event reinforced the importance of studying Scripture consistently, not just for competition but for personal spiritual growth.

As the event came to an end, one thing remained clear — the impact of the PBE goes beyond competition. It equips young people to live out their faith, strengthens their connection to Scripture, and prepares them to be leaders in sharing the Gospel.
