Pakistan (MNN) — A Muslim mosque, especially in volatile Pakistan, is the last place you’d expect to broadcast the Bible. Yet, nothing is impossible with God!
In an Afghan refugee village in northern Pakistan, the tribal chief’s son was known as a bit of a troublemaker. But eventually, this boy’s rebellious attitude softened. He began to show more respect and kindness and even stayed out of trouble!

When his father asked what changed, the boy told him about a Keys for Kids Storyteller he received and had been listening to. The Storyteller is a solar-powered mp3 player containing an audio Bible and Keys for Kids devotionals. The boy told his chieftain father that he believed in Jesus.
Greg Yoder, Executive Director of Keys for Kids Ministries shares: “The Muslim village chief said, ‘If this can change my son’s heart, we need to have more in this village.’ So I believe it was about 200 of them that were delivered into this Muslim village.”
From there, even more village kids started loving the Storytellers and devotionals!
Yoder says, “The village chief was just so amazed at what was happening within his village, he decided that…accompanying the Muslim call to prayer, they were going to play Keys for Kids in audio over these loudspeakers from the mosque itself!”
Keys for Kids partners with FMI to distribute Storytellers in the Urdu language to kids in Pakistan. But now, they need your help.
“We supplied them with several thousand Storytellers and they’re all gone,” says Yoder. “They don’t have any more to distribute. So the best thing that we can do is raise more funds to produce more Urdu storytellers for the people in Pakistan.”
