ArkQuest — Gamified Bible Learning for KidsPricing →

Kids Bible app · Nongoma, South Africa

Kids Bible app for Nongoma families.

Bible time in Nongoma usually fails for one reason: nobody decided what to read. Tonight it is decided — Luke 19:1-10, one question and a short prayer, about five minutes from start to finish.

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

Why Nongoma families choose ArkQuest

  • ✓ Built for South African Christian homes — 5 minutes a day.
  • ✓ Priced in ZAR — R89/mo for the whole family.
  • ✓ Works offline — great for Nongoma traffic and patchy data.
  • ✓ Safe by design: no ads, no chat, no data sold.
  • ✓ Fits Sunday school and homeschool rhythms.

Tonight's family reading · Nongoma

Zacchaeus in the Tree — a 5-minute devotion for Nongoma families

Luke 19:1-10 · Being seen changes people

A short, unpopular tax collector climbed a sycamore tree to see Jesus over the crowd. Jesus stopped, looked up and invited himself to dinner. By the end of the meal, Zacchaeus was giving half his wealth away.

This works best in Nongoma as a bedtime reading. Lights low, Luke 19:1-10 read slowly, the memory verse said twice, then the prayer. Younger children fall asleep on "being seen changes people"; older ones usually want to argue about it first, which is fine.

Memory verse

“The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
Luke 19:10

Table question

Who in your class or street feels unseen right now?

30-second prayer

Jesus, you looked up and called him by name. Help us see the people others skip over. 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 being seen changes people is something you practise, not something you know.

Tomorrow: the widow's two coins (Luke 21:1-4). ArkQuest queues the next reading automatically, so nobody has to decide what comes after tonight.
