The Books of The New Testament

Join in the fun! Register today to "adopt" a book of the New Testament!

The table contains the 27 books of the New Testament, with the number of words in each book.  Each participant should be able to write 150 words in the half-hour window designated for the scripture writing.  The "people" column number was reached by dividing the book by 150.

​

Advice on estimating how many members of your church and their extended family and friends have been given to consider the average attendance at your church on Sunday and then divide that number by half.  These are a few things to consider:

​

  • Many adults will be able to write more than the estimated 150 words.  They could write two to three times as much.

  • Please remember to INCLUDE THE CHILDREN. We want the entire family to participate in Walk With Jesus.

  • And, of course, the weather will be a factor, but we anticipate many "walk-ons" who could volunteer to help.
