Master Seal Recipients
NEW Bible Master Award certificate and seals
Beyond the Master Seal
The Bible Master Award, or the Master Seal, is a great way to recognize an individual's efforts in mastering the questions and answers from the Bible Fact-Pak. The Bible Fact-Pak cards and related resources can be ordered toll-free from Gospel Publishing House.
The Bible Master Program allows individuals to improve their knowledge and understanding of the Bible but can also be used in group settings. It can be used along with Sunday School curriculum, in Children's Church, in Christian schools, at camps, and in other children's ministries programs. It's a wonderful activity for families to do together. Each family member can be working on his or her own level while studying the information together. Many families have used the Bible Fact-Pak for their family devotions and in homeschooling.
Not only can the Bible Master Program be used with children but it can also recognize adults who have mastered the material in the Bible Fact-Pak. Achievement is recognized through the award certificate and accompanying seals.
One or more persons should be selected to oversee the awards program and check the individual's mastery of knowledge. The Bible Fact-Pak cards should be separated by point value, placed in three different containers, and thoroughly mixed. The cards are drawn one at a time, beginning with the 10-point cards. Ask the questions until the individual has satisfactorily completed the level requirements or has exceeded the maxiumum number of errors. If the individual is unable to complete a level, encourage the person to work for at least a week on the questions and then try again. The individual may try as many times as needed to complete a level. The goal is for the individual to learn and understand the questions and answers.
Because the Master Seal reflects a great achievement, it should be presented in a fitting ceremony. One option is to award the seal in front of the entire congregation, and provide a frame in which to place the certificate. Explain to the congregation what the Master Seal is all about and what the recipient has accomplished.
Each Bible Master package contains ten each of the certificates, and ten each of the seals for the Discoverer Level, Searcher Level, and Achiever Level. To earn each of these seals, one must meet the following qualifications:
To receive a certificate and earn the seal for the Discoverer Level, an individual must correctly answer:
20 out of 30 of the 10-point questions.
To earn the seal for the Searcher Level, an individual must correctly answer:
25 out of 30 of the 10-point questions and
15 out of 20 of the 20-point questions.
To earn the seal for the Achiever Level, an individual must correctly answer:
28 out of 30 of the 10-point questions,
18 out of 20 of the 20-point questions, and
6 out of 10 of the 30-point questions.
To earn the seal for the Master Level, an individual must correctly answer 59 of 60 cards. These may be drawn randomly from all 576 question cards or from a selection of:
30 of the 10-point questions,
20 of the 20-point questions, and
10 of the 30-point questions.
The Master Seal is not included in the Bible Master package. It can be obtained, free of charge, by submitting the following information on church letterhead with the pastor’s signature: the name of the individual who has earned the seal, the person's age and test score; the name of person giving the test (not a parent), and the name and address of the church. You may also fax this church letter to the CMA at 417-862-2650 to expedite the return of the seal. Thank you for your patience as we continue to develop this process.
