WARRENTON, Mo., April 2, 2015 /Christian Newswire/ -- Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF), the largest Christian mission agency to children in the world, has released its very first app for children called God's Word: Hide It! This new app is an interactive experience built for children ages 3 and up.
The app allows children to:
- Read and listen to Bible verses
- Play interactive memorization games
- Color illustration pages about each verse
- Sing along karaoke style to the verses set to music.
A parent portal gives parents an active part in the child's learning within the application.
According to Dave Howe, CEF's Associate Director USA Media Ministries, "We know children are increasingly using mobile devices. God's Word: Hide it! gives us the possibility of reaching thousands of children with the Gospel and be able to help them live godly lives. Howe adds, "We created God's Word: Hide It! as a tool to help children develop the habit of studying God's Word. We hope to coordinate this with our 5 Day clubs and Good News clubs."
CEF has plans to follow this app with two more apps built just for younger children. Howe says, "God's Word: Sing it! will center around CEF songs." Children can sing along and are taught about God through the lyrics and other interactive elements in the app. God's Word: Know it! will be the third app in the series and will involve teaching longer Bible stories to kids through the app medium.
To download, search God's Word: Hide It! in the iTunes App Store. The app is currently only available on iPhones, IPads and Ipods. An Android version will follow.
Child Evangelism Fellowship is a Bible-centered organization composed of born-again believers whose purpose is to evangelize boys and girls with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and to establish (disciple) them in the Word of God and in a local church for Christian living.
