ArkQuest — Gamified Bible Learning for KidsPricing →

Kids Bible app · Maitland, Australia

Kids Bible app for Maitland families.

Bible time in Maitland usually fails for one reason: nobody decided what to read. Tonight it is decided — Matthew 14:22-33, one question and a short prayer, about five minutes from start to finish.

ArkQuest is the Bible app Australian Christian families in Maitland use for a 5-minute daily quest — Scripture memory, safe by design, no ads, no chat. Works offline for the Maitland commute.

Why Maitland families choose ArkQuest

  • ✓ Built for Australian Christian homes — 5 minutes a day.
  • ✓ Priced in AUD — A$13/mo for the whole family.
  • ✓ Works offline — great for Maitland traffic and patchy data.
  • ✓ Safe by design: no ads, no chat, no data sold.
  • ✓ Fits Scripture class and homeschool rhythms.

Tonight's family reading · Maitland

Peter Walks on the Water — a 5-minute devotion for Maitland families

Matthew 14:22-33 · Sinking is not the end of the story

In the dark before dawn, the disciples saw Jesus walking on the lake. Peter climbed out and walked too — until he looked at the wind. As he sank, he shouted for help, and immediately a hand caught him.

This works best in Maitland as a bedtime reading. Lights low, Matthew 14:22-33 read slowly, the memory verse said twice, then the prayer. Younger children fall asleep on "sinking is not the end of the story"; older ones usually want to argue about it first, which is fine.

Memory verse

“Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him.”
Matthew 14:31

Table question

What made you look at the wind this week instead of at Jesus?

30-second prayer

Jesus, when we sink, catch us. Thank you that you always reach out immediately. Amen.

Make it stick: on the way through Maitland tomorrow, one person says the first half of "Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him." and someone else finishes it. Three tries and it is memorised.

Tomorrow: feeding the four thousand (Matthew 15:29-39). ArkQuest queues the next reading automatically, so nobody has to decide what comes after tonight.
