Kids Bible app · Boma, DR Congo
Kids Bible app for Boma families.
Boma families who keep a Bible habit rarely do long readings. They do one passage — tonight Matthew 14:22-33 — one memory verse, and one honest question, and then they stop.
ArkQuest is the Bible app Congolese Christian families in Boma use for a 5-minute daily quest — Scripture memory, safe by design, no ads, no chat. Works offline for the Boma commute.
Why Boma families choose ArkQuest
- ✓ Built for Congolese Christian homes — 5 minutes a day.
- ✓ Priced in CDF — FC15000/mo for the whole family.
- ✓ Works offline — great for Boma traffic and patchy data.
- ✓ Safe by design: no ads, no chat, no data sold.
- ✓ Fits école du dimanche and homeschool rhythms.
Tonight's family reading · Boma
Peter Walks on the Water — a 5-minute devotion for Boma 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.
Use this one on the Boma weekend, when there is room for a longer conversation. Read Matthew 14:22-33, talk through the question properly, then write the memory verse somewhere everyone will see it on Monday.
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: draw it. Younger children draw the moment in Matthew 14:22-33 they remember; older ones write one sentence about why it bothered them. Stick both on the wall.
Tomorrow: feeding the four thousand (Matthew 15:29-39). ArkQuest queues the next reading automatically, so nobody has to decide what comes after tonight.
On Mount Carmel, Elijah rebuilt an altar of twelve stones before calling on the Lord. What did the twelve stones represent?
