MEDIA ADVISORY, March 16, 2011 /Christian Newswire/ -- If you are a parent who has wished their child would stop playing valueless video games and pick up a bible, you are in for a treat. The ALMIGHTY BIBLE CLUB (almightybibleclub.com) has just opened and in the words of childrensministryonline.com - "WOW." The creators have crafted a completely safe environment complete with interactive Prayer Gardens, Bible Trading Card games, an Adventure Game Mission that puts the kids in 63 AD with the Christian rebel, Paul, as well as a library of tremendously illustrated graphic novelizations of key books of the bible.
Designed for kids, tweens and teens, the Almighty Bible Club game design is at a very high level and the company has involved top interactive designers from companies like Lucas Arts, IBM and PBS. The result is a wonderfully entertaining world that you can start playing in for free right now.
The video game market is a multi-billion dollar enterprise that is almost totally void of any faith based games. The result is that parents who want their children to learn about the bible and the teachings of Jesus are basically left with two options, Sunday school and an immense book that is daunting to read. The Almighty Bible Club is a new media approach to the world's most incredible stories.
Kevin O'Donnell, creator and producer of PBS' award winning Liberty's Kids series, as well as two other network series states, "We set out to create a world that kids will love. We didn't try to do something that was good only by the existing standards for kids content in the Christian gaming world, we tried to do something that is great by any measure." So far, the response by the public suggests that the site is a hit. In one month there are over 10,000 registered members and the site is growing daily.
"We've tried to stay under the radar so we don't get swamped but the word is out and we're glad that people love our site." says CEO, Dong Chung, whose Christian faith has driven him to make the Almighty Bible Club a reality for his two daughters and kids everywhere. The company is marketing directly to consumers and spreading the word through the Youth Minister Community. Hundreds of Youth Ministers have signed up for a program that gives their members a discount and funds their local ministry at the same time. "We had to think outside the box in order to get people to spread the word." says Dan Cordie, Director of Promotion.
The games require points that are gathered by passing quizzes inside the 3D narrated books of the bible and by saying one's prayers in the Prayer Garden. The points are then used to acquire Miracle, Hero, Blessing and Object Trading Cards that are essential to completing missions with Paul. The site keeps kids completely safe, allowing no one to interact with them when they are on it. Parents will also like the fact that there is a tool set coming soon that will allow them to change the questions in the quizzes, allowing them to customize their child's learning if they so desire. The site is extremely intuitive.
A $4.95 monthly subscription (or just $29.99 for the year) allows kids to save their prayers and play all the missions. "The initial results have been stunning and at this rate we will pass 100,000 subscribers sometime this summer." says, Kevin O'Donnell. The company is based in California with an Advisory Board of prominent Youth Ministers from around the country. The Almighty Bible Club has stunning graphics, the real stories of the bible and some of the most creative games seen in a long time. For more information visit www.almightybibleclub.com.
