Most Dalit children in India have never held a crayon or owned a book. They come from the poorest villages in the country, and they grow up ranked below even the lowest caste. Our India Field Coordinator states that more than 80% of the people coming to Christ in India today are children, and most of them are Dalits.

We’ve spent years making up headlines. Here’s one we didn’t have to: “Children Who Have Never Held a Crayon Color Their Way Through the Story of Jesus.” Our friend Steve Cleary at RevelationMedia is driving it, and it’s the kind of news we wish we could print every week. Pray about being part of this incredible opportunity.

Kids’ Clubs for the “Untouchables”
Dear Friends,
Most Dalit children in India have never held a crayon or owned a book. They come from the poorest villages in the country, and they grow up ranked below even the lowest caste. They are often referred to as the “untouchables,” but the Bible says God “raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap” (Psalm 113:7, ESV).
God also says, “I will seek the lost, and I will bring back the strayed, and I will bind up the injured, and I will strengthen the weak” (Ezekiel 34:16a). Today His Spirit is moving among the Dalit children of India. Our India Field Coordinator states that more than 80% of the people coming to Christ in India today are children, and most of them are Dalits.
I’d love to tell you what came next was my idea. It is such an amazing opportunity! But it wasn’t mine.
The Real Story of Jesus coloring books have helped children rescued from slavery know Jesus.
Pastors in India saw The Real Story of Jesus storybooks and coloring books, and they came to us with a plan: Gather the children from their villages once a week, color a few pages together, and walk them through the story of Jesus from creation to Christmas and from the resurrection to the final revelation.
We’re calling this plan The Real Story of Jesus Kids’ Club, and it’s about to launch all over India. They already have 450 churches signed up to host one, representing at least 4,500 children!
Each child receives their own illustrated storybook, coloring book, and colored pencils or crayons. Each class lasts four to six months. At the end, the children take their finished coloring books home to their families, where Jesus will be shared again and again.
We’ve already translated and typeset these books in Hindi and Telugu and are working on the next five languages spoken by the majority of these children.
Kids who have never owned a book before learn about Jesus through these gifted coloring book sets.
I am continually amazed at how God is using The Real Story of Jesus. Over 750,000 people have told us they prayed for salvation after watching the short film. We sent thousands of the illustrated storybooks into Iran, where they are being used to train evangelists how to share Jesus. We gave more than 10,000 copies to children rescued from the slave trade, and they helped heal their wounded souls.
Now this story is going into the hands of children who will carry it home. And the network of pastors that developed this consists of more than 100,000 churches. They’re praying God will open the door for every one of them to start a The Real Story of Jesus Kids’ Club. That would be over one million Dalit children!
For only $9, you can sponsor a coloring book set for one child. For $90, you can start a whole Kids’ Club of 10 children. Our initial goal is 1,000 The Real Story of Jesus Kids’ Clubs.
Click the button below to give, visit www.RevelationMediaKidsClub.com, or call us at (469) 960-5653.
Dalit children need to hear about the God Who loves them and will never abandon them.
If your family, church, or organization would like to sponsor 1,000 Kids’ Clubs of your own, reach out to me personally at info@revelationmedia.com. I’d love to talk with you, and we’ll print your or your organization’s name in every book the children take home.
Jesus said He came “to seek and to save the lost” (Luke 19:10b). A child who may have never even held a crayon gets to color His story and carry it home to his or her family. I’d love for you to be part of that.
Help Start The Real Story of Jesus Kids’ Clubs Across India
Our partner network of 100,000 churches in India is excited to start The Real Story of Jesus Kids’ Clubs for Dalit children! Each club can be sponsored for only $90 and provides at least 10 children with a storybook, coloring book, colored pencils or crayons, and four to six months of teaching about the Gospel in their own language. Will you help us start as many of these clubs as possible to share God’s love with the “untouchables” of India?
