Overview

Mission

Publish rich, Biblically interactive media to positively change lives. David Saves Keilah deploys stealth and combat through gameplay to help illustrate the story as referenced in the Bible. However, there is no blood or gore in our games. I have younger children, should I let them play David Saves Keilah? As a parent, that is ultimately your decision. We do want to help you be better informed. Determine if your child is mature enough for combat and stealth in a video game. We provide lesson plans and video content on our gaming channel. You can review the videos before you decide.

What it reported doing in 2025

Development and marketing of electronic gaming software based on the christian bible

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
