Fabricio finds hope through the Bible App for Kids
Most of the time, Fabricio seemed to be in a world of his own. He didn’t speak, but he used his hands to make signs and signals his mom, Tatiana, could understand.
He’s a 7-year-old with Down syndrome who lives in Nicaragua. He spent most of his time watching TV or videos on YouTube, and Tatiana worried that the programs he watched weren’t good for him. When she saw the Bible App for Kids, she downloaded it right away for Fabricio.
It immediately became his favorite pastime!
He interacts with the Scriptures every day, has completed all the lessons and games in the app, and has signaled to his mom that he recognizes Jesus when he sees illustrations of the Savior elsewhere.
Encouraged by this, Tatiana got the Bible App for Kids Book of Hope for Fabricio, and it’s now his favorite book and is always in his backpack whenever he’s going anywhere.
Fabricio’s story proves that you’re fulfilling the OneHope vision of God’s Word for every child. Thanks for reaching out with the Good News for him!

My Story of Hope: Sebastian in Venezuela
Sebastian was not going to church if he could help it.
His mother and sister were believers, and even his stepdad, who didn’t claim to be a Christian, went to church with them … but they had to drag Sebastian along. He was not interested!
But when his older sister told him about Happy Children’s Club, Sebastian agreed to go. Happy Children’s Club is where his younger sister chose to follow Jesus, and she was eager to share her faith with him.
At the club, Sebastian received the Bible App for Kids Book of Hope, a special edition that includes text and illustrations from the app. He was drawn into the story of Jesus … and the next Sunday, Sebastian was eager to go back to church!
Today he is following Jesus and happily attending church and Happy Children’s Club, growing in his faith week by week. Thanks for sending God’s Word to transform his life.
Your OneHope donation of $15 right now will reach 45 more children and youth, like Sebastian, with God’s Word — $25 will reach 75. How many young people will you introduce to Jesus today?
