Int’l (MNN) – God is creating opportunities for Keys for Kids Ministries to head into unreached and difficult to reach places — and they are eager to go. However, more opportunities means they need additional funding.

Greg Yoder with Keys for Kids recently returned from a conference in Canada and says, “Out of that missions conference, we have no less than probably four opportunities to go into different languages. One opportunity we could go into a nation that is unreached with the Gospel. I can’t even mention it to you. Even while we were standing there on the floor making connections, I had to tell him, ‘We would love to do this, but we don’t have the funding.’ And so we exponentially need to raise funds for these projects.”
Sharing Christ Through Storytellers
The requests keep coming for more materials, especially for the Keys for Kids Storytellers. These solar-powered MP3 players are stocked with a complete, dramatized audio Bible as well as hundreds of Keys for Kids devotionals. For new Christians and even pastors the stories bring the Word of God to life.
In addition to the needs identified at the conference, Keys for Kids has been contacted by local pastors and organizations in Nepal, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and others looking for materials. It costs Keys for Kids about $50,000 to send 2500 Storyteller units to Afghanistan. The cost for Pakistan is similar. The requests in Nepal are smaller but still substantial. In Kenya there is a children’s pastor asking for Storytellers as well.
Making a Way for Gospel Impact
Right now two of the most pressing projects are Storytellers in Urdu for Pakistan and in Farsi for Iran. Both projects would be completed in cooperation with FMI. However, these projects and the others need funding.

Yoder says, “Pray over the unreached areas of the world that haven’t been reached with the Gospel. Perhaps God could open those doors for us to be a part of that opening that door. Then be generous. Give as much as you can and encourage others to do the same. We’re looking again for churches to basically treat us like a mission organization and to come alongside us as a mission sending agency, because we’re literally sending these devices with pastors, with lay leaders, with missionaries that are going into the field and proclaiming the liberating power of the Gospel through these storytellers; and they’re having an amazing impact.”
Please pray that Keys for Kids would get enough funding to complete these projects. If you’d like to learn more or join their work, click here.
