2025 Summer Scripture Memory Challenge
Registration deadline: June 11th, 2025
This summer you have a great opportunity to learn the Bible and make some money at the same time.
Any common versions of the Bible may be used for memorization, but please, no simplified, "easy," or children's versions.
Here is the link to the form to sign up.
The PTA will contact you in September to have a chance to say the scripture and earn the money!
It's a treasure to hold the words of God in our hearts and I think these verses will help you in many ways over the next few years. If you have any questions or need help please email me at ptaprays@caj.ac.jp
Each summer students in grades 4-12 are encouraged to memorize Scripture. The students recite their verses in September to volunteer parents. If you are interested in being a listener, please let us know by sending an e-mail to ptaprays@caj.ac.jp.
暗唱聖句プログラム
4年生から12年生までを対象とした暗唱聖句プログラムを毎年夏に開催し、聖書の御言葉（聖句）を覚えることを応援しています。生徒は9月に保護者ボランティアの前で覚えた聖句を暗唱します。生徒が聖句を暗唱するのを聞くことによって応援してくださる方は、ptaprays@caj.ac.jp にご連絡いただくか、または、PTA Volunteer Formを記入してお知らせください。
Instruction for Listeners
1. Listening sessions, if done in person, should be conducted in a public place, where plenty of other people are around, such as the Atrium or outside benches at CAJ. If done online (Zoom, FaceTime, Google Space, etc.), they should be done with an adult present with the student. Under no circumstances are the listener volunteers to meet with students online or conduct the online listening sessions with the students without the student's parent or guardian present with the student.
2. Although generally students do the memorization in English, if any have chosen another language, that is fine and an appropriate listener will be chosen
3. The students can choose any standard Bible version, but not simplified, "easy" or children's versions. Listeners can usually find the chapter from the proper version easily on the Web or with a Bible app such as YouVersion.
4. Perfection is not required.
--When students are reciting, minor mistakes that do not change the meaning of a verse are acceptable. They can be overlooked, or corrected if it seems relevant.
--If a student gets a little stuck, the Listener can give occasional help with a word or phrase.
--If the total amount of help needed becomes excessive, then it is simply a subjective decision by the Listener whether to pass or fail the student.

PIP, Parents in Prayer, a monthly prayer meeting
These meetings are referred to as PIP, or Parents in Prayer, and they meet either on campus or online. They are divided by grade level and are led by parent volunteers (PIP leaders) from each class. This is another great way to make new friends and to pray specifically for the needs of your child's grade level. You will get to pray for each child and teacher by name and lift up requests that are unique to that class in your heart language. If you have never prayed before, you can come and observe.
PIP 学年別の保護者の祈り会（毎月１回）
この祈り会は通称PIPと呼ばれアネックス会議室またはオンラインにて行われます。学年ごとに集い、各クラスの保護者のボランティア（PIP Leaders) がリードします。クラス固有の課題について共に祈ることを通して、同じ学年の子供を持つ保護者と知り合う良い機会となります。クラスの子供達や担当の先生方のことを思いながら、一緒に祈りましょう。これまで祈ったことのない方も歓迎です。母国語で祈っていただくこともできます。
