Welcome to The Memory Verse Project!
This project was born out of my missionary journey with RevivEE, where I realized how essential it is not only to read God’s Word but to know it, believe it, and live it out. Scripture isn’t just for theological study—it’s our tool, our comfort, and our strength as we navigate life and help others know Him.
As Joshua 1:8 reminds us: “Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.” (NIV)
That verse is the heartbeat for this project. It’s a biblical reminder of the honor and privilege of knowing His Word. My goal is to strengthen my “scripture toolbox” so I can carry God’s truth with me everywhere I go—whether serving the local community, walking the streets, leading Bible studies, or wrestling through my own personal challenges. I’m convinced of this: there is no better weapon, no better remedy, than God’s Word.
Thinking about clinging closer to God’s word as well? Well, I’d love for you to join me!
How it works:
- Subscribe to The Memory Verse Project below (different than the Missionary Chronicles monthly newsletter), where you will receive two emails a week (Tuesday and Friday) with that day’s memory verse.
- Each week will focus on a different theme (such as faith, perseverance, or God’s love).
- We’ll memorize two scriptures per week.
- On Tuesday, I’ll post the first scripture—giving us three days (Tuesday–Thursday) to memorize it.
- On Friday, I’ll post the second scripture—giving us until Sunday to memorize it.
- Monday is my day off on RevivEE, so that’s also our day off from memorization. But feel free to adjust the timing in a way that works best for you!
Along the way, I’ll periodically share my reflections, progress, and stories of how God is using His Word to transform my life. And I’d love to hear from you as well—how scripture is shaping and strengthening you through this journey.
So—ready, set… memorize!

Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe. All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away.

Week 3 – Verse 2 (Obedience to god)
Hebrews 5: 7-9
“During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reveren submission. Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him.”
Week 3 – Verse 1 (Obedience to god)
1 Samuel 15:22-23
“Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the Lord? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams. For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance like the evil of idolatry.”
Week 2 – Verse 2 (love for others)
1 Peter 4:7-10
“The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray. Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”
Week 2 – Verse 1 (love for others)
John 15:9-13

I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
Week 1 – Verse 2 (dying to self)
2 Corinthians 5:14-15
For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.
Week 1 – Verse 1 (Dying to self)
John 12:23-26
Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.
