July 12, 2006 - HUNTSVILLE, ALA. — Vacation Bible School is almost here and Third Day Games, a faith-based software company, is offering a revolutionary way for churches to supplement their VBS programs with an exciting – and economical — action PC game that helps kids master Bible knowledge.
It’s called Bible ChampionsTM, and for just $100 a church is equipped to supply every child in VBS – or any other church activity – with a new computer game each month – 12 exciting Bible mastery games for them to play on their home PC.
Third Day Games developed Bible ChampionsTM to use kids’ love of video games to connect them with God’s word on a daily basis. “We think Bible ChampionsTM presents a revolutionary opportunity for churches to connect kids to God’s Word at home,” said Bobby Wells, CEO of Third Day Games.
Bible ChampionsTM takes some of the most inspirational Bible stories from both the Old and New Testaments and creates a 3D environment that pulls kids actively into the story. Stories include God’s Creation, Joseph and His Brothers, Daniel in the Lion’s Den, and the Birth of Jesus – a new story game each month, along with new challenges and more Bible mastery for kids.
Players solve puzzles and avoid adversaries as they explore the location and events of a particular story. For example, they might bring sick people to Jesus to be healed or help Zacchaeus pay back those he cheated. With three skill settings — early, middle, and late elementary – every child is empowered to master key Bible knowledge.
“We’ve put together 12 Bible stories that are sequenced to follow the seasons of the Christian calendar,” explained Wells. “And we provide churches with the software that unlocks a new story each month. They can then give the software to ALL the children in their ministry programs so kids can play each story over and over, while anticipating a new story for the upcoming month.”
Added Wells, “VBS is a great opportunity to offer these games as a special treat for kids and to keep them connected to God’s Word throughout the summer. We set the annual licensing fee at only $100 to make the game accessible to any sized church – so they can give the games to every child in their congregation and use this new technology to strengthen their foundation for a lifetime relationship with the Word of God.”
