Challenges Ahead
• Updating our products and staying relevant
– As children are exposed to and use more technologically advanced home
gadgets, they will look for more up to date and engaging Bible teaching tools.
– We need artists, programmers and editors to work on updating our products
• Increasing the number of our translated Titles
– We need more translators and sponsors willing to help fund translations. BM,
Myanmar, Chinese and Tamil are available. BM is actively being worked on.
Other ASEAN country languages are also being considered.
• Bringing Bible knowledge to the schools
– We are updating our products to make them relevant for schools to use and
teach the word of God. This requires feedback and input from the school
teachers plus volunteer editors
• Workers needed
– We need more artists, editors, content writers who can create activities
for the various age groups in delivering a Bible lesson
• We continue to seek your prayers and support for our work in producing new material for children
– As we move on beyond our first 11 years of existence, that God will give us guidance on what direction to take
