In a world where children are bombarded with a multitude of media sources filled with secular content, it's crucial to provide them with alternatives that not only entertain but also nourish their minds and spirits. During the height of their developmental years, young ones are absorbing information at a rapid pace, shaping their perspectives and values. This is where Maralee Dawn & Friends shines, offering a refreshing oasis of Bible-based content that empowers children with the life-changing power of the gospel. In a landscape saturated with distractions, this series stands out as a beacon of hope, guiding children on a journey of wisdom, courage, and faith.
Maralee Dawn & Friends is a vibrant and refreshing Bible-based children's series that introduces young viewers to the transformative power of the gospel. Led by ventriloquist Maralee Dawn, the series features fast-paced episodes filled with original songs, intriguing stories, and unique puppet characters. Through creative interactive projects and exciting expeditions, children naturally absorb "Leadership Qualities," empowering them to navigate challenges with wisdom and courage.
This family ministry has made a significant impact over 21 years, broadcasting the Gospel to children worldwide. The series has touched the lives of thousands of pre-churched children and families, providing hope and love through its engaging content. A highlight of Maralee Dawn & Friends is the Interactive Gospel of John (IGJ), a multimedia experience developed in partnership with City Bibles. This child-friendly version includes interactive videos, segments from the series and "The Gospel of John" movie, a downloadable coloring book, Bible apps, and an invitation to accept Jesus as Savior.
Recent milestones highlight the global reach and generosity of Maralee Dawn & Friends. With the support of like-minded individuals and organizations, they've gifted 50,000 Interactive Gospels of John to children and received a donation of 275,000 more in seven languages from the Bereans in Ireland. These acts of kindness are spreading love, hope, and healing to children in oppressed areas. With a shipment of 100,000 Gospels sent to Warsaw, including copies in Ukrainian, Polish, and Russian, Maralee Dawn & Friends continues to make a profound impact, welcoming support from those who share their mission of empowering children with the life-changing message of the Gospel.
