Kids Bible app · Dunedin, New Zealand
Kids Bible app for Dunedin families.
Bible time in Dunedin usually fails for one reason: nobody decided what to read. Tonight it is decided — Luke 15:1-7, one question and a short prayer, about five minutes from start to finish.
ArkQuest is the Bible app Kiwi Christian families in Dunedin use for a 5-minute daily quest — Scripture memory, safe by design, no ads, no chat. Works offline for the Dunedin commute.
Why Dunedin families choose ArkQuest
- ✓ Built for Kiwi Christian homes — 5 minutes a day.
- ✓ Priced in NZD — NZ$14/mo for the whole family.
- ✓ Works offline — great for Dunedin traffic and patchy data.
- ✓ Safe by design: no ads, no chat, no data sold.
- ✓ Fits Sunday school and homeschool rhythms.
Tonight's family reading · Dunedin
The Lost Sheep — a 5-minute devotion for Dunedin families
Luke 15:1-7 · God goes looking for the one
A shepherd had a hundred sheep and one wandered off. He left the ninety-nine on the hills and searched until he found it, then carried it home on his shoulders and called his neighbours to celebrate.
Use this one on the Dunedin weekend, when there is room for a longer conversation. Read Luke 15:1-7, talk through the question properly, then write the memory verse somewhere everyone will see it on Monday.
Memory verse
“Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.”Luke 15:6
Table question
When have you felt lost — and who came looking for you?
30-second prayer
Good Shepherd, thank you that you do not give up on anyone. Help us go looking for someone who feels forgotten. Amen.
Make it stick: ask the same question again at breakfast tomorrow. Answers change overnight, and hearing that change is how a child learns that god goes looking for the one is something you practise, not something you know.
Tomorrow: the lost coin and the father who runs (Luke 15:8-24). 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?
