 In 20 years the next generation will take their place in the mission field. If we do our job of teaching them to memorize these passages then they will be ready for whatever ministry that God leads them in. As teachers we can help them be all that God wants them to be.
Learn to be an encourager! You can do it! This is a great way to help your school or congregation, especially the childen and teenagers, have a foundation in the scriptures that they can treasure for the rest of their life. In no time they can have a foundation in Romans 3, 5, 6,and 8, and be able to recall it verbatim, at any time? What about Psalms 3, 5, 34, 51, and 71? How about Col. 3, or Eph. 6 and evangelism? With our proven tools it can happen. All you have to have is a vision for what God wants, and be willing. Your church and school can learn foundational scripture and RETAIN IT FOR LIFE.
“Your word I have hidden in my heart that I might not sin against You.” Psalm 119:11
Pastors, Teachers, Home Schoolers Christian Students, and Seminary Students, this is a totally unique way to memorize. Our way is different! How?
We have found that if scripture is learned by rhythmic tunes, rather than with familiar melodies, recalling scripture verse comes naturally. The way our melodies are composed by meter, the verse is sung exactly in the way that it would be spoken. We prefer this method over other memory learning methods because once we learn the tune, we are able to speak it in the same manner in which we learned to sing it. You’ll be able to speak the verse aloud without the melody, while the tune is playing in your conscience. This method of learning scripture is great for the young and old alike. Best of all you’ll remember it and be able to share the verse with others. When words are combined with musical tones in rhythm, the mind records it permanently.
Ways to learn
As a teacher , it is all about fun as well as learning, so it is important to have fun with it. You'll have so much fun singing the scripture with the students as well as listening to the answers. The more that they hear the song, the more it becomes permanent to their long term memory. As a further back-up, we offer a DVD of the karoke songs, in the order that they are learned, that the leader can put on the TV for the students to watch, listen, and see the words as they are sung.
Depending on the size of the group it is best , no, it is a must, to have a large banner of the verse in view for all to see, a CD player, the CD for the verse, and a prepared student handout by the leader ( see products online ) The large banners contain either one or two Memoryverse song lyrics that are large enough, (4’ x 6’) to be viewed from a normal classroom. I have made th prices so low that anyone can aford it.
To encourage the students to work hard for a future goal, it is good to have the Master Soldier #1 Banner visible on the classroom wall. This banner has all 14 song lyrics in the order to be learned and background colored according the level of achievement. It also shows the picture of the 1 1/2 “ round merit badge that the student will earn after he sings the corresponding verses mistake free in front of the teacher or the class for two consecutive weeks. The Master Soldiers #1 Banner is approximately 4’x 7', or 3' x 5' and made of a strong light glossy vinyl, and comes velcro already attached to the vinyl banner. All you do is stick it to the wall. No headaches for teachers. Students will learn to form their own short term goals and long term goals by viewing the banner. You’ll be surprised how quick they learn.
It will be their favorite subject, Discipleship is so important in evangelism, counseling, and marraige.
You will have a fuller time of prayer and praise in your morning devotions.
The best way to get your group going is to use the plan to recognize those who have learned the memory songs, and for doing so receive a merit badge to display on a sash, much like Boy Scouts. We have them available in our product store. The glued-on merit badges, that will go on a sash the student will wear during “challenge time” once a week or once every two weeks, are earned for memorizing and singing the memory song in front of the group for two weeks in a row, accapella, without a mistake. Don't worry if they are not on key that will come more and more as their ears become familiar with the tune. They will get the tempo and the rhythm, eventually. The words and the tempo are the most important.
