Impress Kids, a 13-year journey that became an official company in 2010, isn’t like most Scripture memory methods. It has gone beyond note cards to full-fledged, color-filled online interactivity — and it’s set up so anyone can take advantage of it with their own Bible Memory plans.
John first thought of the idea for Impress Kids when he and his wife, Andrea, were serving as Local Church Ministries missionaries in western New York. He was troubled by the way the children’s Biblical curriculum was disjointed as kids tried to learn through several programs at once.
“They had Sunday School and mid-week programs; some went to AWANA or learned Bible verses at school. The problem was that none of it was connected. I kept thinking we could do better,” he says.
In 1997, after driving home from church, John says he began to dream of a Bible memory program that could complement what was already being done in churches, schools, and homes — something fun for kids and useful as a ministry tool.
“It was a dream God never let me put aside,” he says.
