GREATEST JOURNEY APP
GREATEST JOURNEY is a fun, exciting way for kids to explore the Bible and learn how to follow Jesus! Aboard a time-traveling spaceship that players captain, Greatest Journey gives kids a bird’s-eye view of the Old and New Testaments, introducing them to major events in the Bible and focusing on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. GREATEST JOURNEY is based on the international discipleship course created by Samaritan’s Purse for Children who receive Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes and is FREE, with no in-app purchases or advertisements. It’s now available (English only) on the Apple App Store and Google Play in more than 140 countries.
