British Nurse Gives Unique Bible Society Contest Winnings, Worth £7,000, to Local Charity
"As a committed Christian, I believe we should look after the wider community."
(United Kingdom)—A competition by the Bible Society was held this summer in the Greater Manchester area called The Riddle of Life. The aim of the effort was to help people get more engaged in the Bible.
According to Inspire Magazine, "It was based on solving seven Biblical riddles that were advertised across the borough on hundreds of billboards and bus shelters, as well as on trams, buses, taxis and even beer mats."
The rules reportedly stated that the winner would get to choose which local good cause they would like the prize money to go to. Nurse Barbara Raynor-Taylor was the winner. She chose to give her £7,000 winnings to a local Substance Misuse Service.
Said Raynor-Taylor: "I enjoyed reading the Bible as part of the competition and was thrilled to be chosen as the winner. I chose the Substance Misuse Service because I wanted the money to go to a cause that was close to my heart. My son dabbled with drugs and at the time, I felt there wasn't enough advice for teenagers and parents facing this situation. Also, as a committed Christian, I believe we should look after the wider community."
