Help Children Choose Jesus
Hello! My name is Natanyah and I’m the oldest child of missionary parents, Daniel and Tesha. My family served in Thailand for 10 years and just recently moved back to the United States.
On a previous visit to the States, I participated in a kids' Bible program called Amazing Adventure at camp meeting. I enjoyed it very much!
When my family returned home to Thailand, my parents were looking for something to help us kids come to know Jesus better. A friend suggested Discovery Mountain.
Almost as soon as I heard about the series, I went to the Discovery Mountain website and began listening to episode after episode. In just three weeks, I had listened to hundreds of them!
In fact, I listened every single second, nonstop. Even at meals! And then when I was done, I listened to them again.
During that time, I came to love the Discovery Mountain characters. But more than that, something happened in my heart.
When I did the Amazing Adventure program, they gave us a little card that said, ‘Do you want to be baptized?’ I didn’t know if I wanted to be baptized—until I had listened to all the episodes of Discovery Mountain. After that, I thought I might be ready because now I was closer to Jesus.
In April 2022 I got to get baptized at my home church in Thailand.
At my baptism, the pastor asked if I would share my testimony. Although I was a little nervous, I went ahead and did it.
After I shared, the pastor asked if any of the kids who were there wanted to accept Jesus, too. It was really exciting to see several other kids walk to the front. Even some adults came forward!
I want as many other kids as possible to learn to love Jesus like I have. That’s why I want to share Discovery Mountain with as many people as I can!
My heart thrills to hear stories like Natanyah's! How about you? Six years ago the Voice of Prophecy team and I created Discovery Mountain with these goals: exercise kids' faith, immerse them in the Bible, and encourage them toward baptism and a life with Jesus. And right now we have a HUGE opportunity to do all three, on a scale we could scarcely imagine before:
Creating and sharing Discovery Mountain Bible lessons!
This has always been my dream—to deeply engage our listeners with God's Word. And now is the perfect time: we have the attention of LOTS of kids around the world. We are able to track over 1 million listens per year online, with even more tuning in via 100+ radio stations.
They are ALREADY LISTENING.
They are ALREADY EXCITED.
They are ALREADY BEGGING FOR MORE BIBLE-BASED CONTENT.
How can we say no?
Our God-given duty is to spread the Gospel and create disciples. You can create young disciples with your support today.
With these Bible studies, you will give kids an age-appropriate study of our foundational beliefs. You will teach them godly principles about fear, honesty, true friendship, managing their emotions, and practicing self-control.
Your gift will anchor a child and prepare her for baptism. And then invite her to share her faith, just like Natanya did!
WHY IS THIS SO URGENT?
This request is uniquely time-sensitive. In a little over a year, young people from around the world will converge for the International Pathfinder Camporee in Gillette, Wyoming—just a few hours’ drive from our studios.
The Discovery Mountain team will be taking a leading role in presenting the event to a worldwide audience, hosting the live anchor desk each night and reporting on Pathfinder activities both on the campgrounds and in the wider city.
Every night we’ll be inviting potentially HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of kids and their families to study the Bible with us. They’ll be able to take our Bible lessons for free. And we’ll invite them to take that next step, too, and be baptized.
This is a massive opportunity to reach countless children and young people both in person and through the virtual audience.
It’s a race against time, though, to get our Discovery Mountain lessons fully ready. The writing and editing process is done, but there’s a lot more work left—designing, proofing, printing, getting them online, and getting them into young people’s hands.
To fund these new Bible studies in both print and digital formats, we need to raise $108,000. Meeting that goal will carry our team through the whole creation and distribution process. We’ll be able to take full advantage of this evangelistic opportunity.
“Let the children come to me,” said Jesus. Let them come!
God has been faithful! He has blessed abundantly. This ministry is reaching more kids each year than I could have imagined.
Will you partner with me to lead children into God’s kingdom?
