Message to Parents & Club Leaders

Hi, this is Michael Babienco, the creator of the website pbeprep.com. I started this website at the request of friends in the UCC Conference, and it has been running in one way or another since 2017. Usage of this site has literally gone around the world, and we're so happy it has been a blessing to so many people.

Since 2017, I have moved to Cambodia for a year, gotten married, worked for a while, and am now serving as a long-term missionary in the country of Japan. We recently had our first child and are praising God for the way He has led us the last few years.

However, our busy schedule means that my wife and I, frankly, no longer have time to write questions for each PBE year. This takes many, many hours every year, which we simply do not have any more.

We want to keep this website running. We are happy to continue to pay for hosting and do general upkeep (adding clubs to the system, making sure the right Bible books are available for questions, etc.), but it is going to be extremely difficult for us to write questions by hand anymore.

This is where you come in. We are looking for someone to take over the handling of writing questions for each PBE year. Does this mean you have to write them all by hand yourself (with no help at all)? No! You can assemble a team of parents and other clubs to help you. If someone could get a group of people together to each write a chapter of questions, it would take each person only an hour or two, and together you could get all the questions written very quickly. The help and aid of others in the past has been extremely helpful to us, but unfortunately now that we live overseas and have other obligations it has become very difficult to coordinate this help and work ourselves.

There are Excel templates available to help write questions, and I'm happy to give pointers.

Please prayerfully consider this opportunity to help young people around the world to know their Bible better. If you're interested in leading this endeavor, please reach out to me for more details at: admin@pbeprep.com -- thank you!!
