Reaching Kids While the Door Is Open: Nepal’s Story & YouVersion’s Billion Celebration
In this episode of the Keys for Kids Connect Podcast, Greg Yoder takes you from the rugged mountains of western Nepal to a packed arena in Oklahoma City—all with one theme in mind: now is the time to reach the next generation with the Gospel.
First, Greg sits down in the Keys for Kids Radio studio with Dave Kapteyn, president of Good News Nepal. Dave shares powerful stories from a recent trip into some of the most unreached regions of Nepal—places where people had never even heard the name of Jesus. You’ll hear how a Hindu priest, a 105-year-old woman, and many others have recently come to faith, how Christmas was virtually unknown there ten years ago but is now publicly celebrated, and how Keys for Kids Storyteller “Red Books” (solar-powered audio Bibles with Keys for Kids stories) are helping reach kids, teens, and families. You’ll also hear about an urgent need: they’ve completely run out of devices just as demand is exploding.
Then Greg turns to what God is doing globally through digital ministry. At the Beyond a Billion celebration in Oklahoma City, Greg talks with Nathan Mullins from YouVersion about crossing 1 billion Bible app installs, growing spiritual openness among Gen Z, and how Keys for Kids devotionals on YouVersion are helping kids and teens engage with Scripture every day.
If you care about reaching kids and teens while their hearts are open, this episode will both challenge and encourage you—and show you practical ways to get involved.
