Inspiring Kids to Know, Grow in, and Show God's Love
MISSION
Made to Shine exists to impact the faith and values of the next generation
using imaginative, culturally relevant, and globally distributed solutions.
WHY
-
​The critical years to impact kids are before the teenage years.
-
Crucial values such as purpose are on the decline.
-
Kids are consumed with screentime like never before.
HOW
We meet young people where they are at with digital content, interactive games, imaginative stories, and virtual community events to engage kids, redeem screentime, encourage family discipleship, and inspire a living connection with Jesus during the critical preteen years. We do this primarily through Lightgliders.
Lightgliders
Made to Shine operates
​
A Virtual World of Christian Faith, Games, and Community for Kids.
​
Lightgliders is a multiplayer online community, a platform of hundreds of games, a biblical worldview curriculum, and a digital kids ministry, all wrapped up into one.
Kids get to customize their own character, play games, go on missions, attend community events, watch videos, engage in discipleship activities, and explore a world of adventure on computers, tablets, and smartphones. Parents and ministry leaders receive weekly lessons and reflection questions.
​
The Lightgliders brand, gameplay, and activities are designed to teach a biblical worldview, encourage prayer and reflection, give vision for real-world service, and spark meaningful conversations in the home.
Lightgliders is accessible online and in the app stores and helps thousands of kids and families worldwide know, grow in, and show God's love.
KNOW
Teaching a biblical worldview and values
The Lightgliders story and characters were designed to point kids to the Far Greater Story of God's love for us revealed in the Bible and substantiated by the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. A biblical worldview inspires transformational values, such as purpose, hope, and love.
GROW
Encouraging prayer and reflection
Through guided prayer activities and events, kids are encouraged to take time to talk with God and to journal their thoughts and reflections.
SHOW
Imparting vision for service
Kids learn that they were "made to shine." They were uniquely designed to love God and love others in a way that only they can.
FAMILY
Sparking meaningful conversations
Equipped with weekly themes, Scriptures, and reflection questions, parents and leaders are encouraged to plant seeds of faith, hope, and love through every meaningful conversation.
