Reaching the world for Christ with games.

According to a 2022 report from the ESA, there are 215.5 million active video game players across all ages in the United States alone. In 2021 Americans spent $60.4 Billion dollars on video games. 75% of video game players are age 18 or older (36% of players are 18-34 years old), and 31% of player have children under the age of 18 in their homes. According to a PEW research report in 2022 it is estimated that 31% of Americans who were raised in Christian homes will become religiously unaffiliated between the ages of 15 and 29. That same PEW report estimates that 63% of the Marican Population identifies as Christian as of 2022, down from 83% in 2014. Stilll that means there are approximately 135.7 million Christians playing games today. So even as the Christian population declines as young people are leaving the church, more of that population is known to be playing games than ever before, so we have a tremendous opportunity to impact culture for Christ through games, possibly even bringing some of those people back into faith through exposure to positive experiences in Christian games. According to research done by the Christian Game Developers Conference in 2015, there were at that time a total of 197 overtly Christian games including board games, card games, and video games, some of those games are still in development by small underfunded teams. There are developers called, willing, and actively trying to make Christian games, but most have little to no funding. There is a market for family friendly, faith based, meaningful games, but few are willing to fund the development of those games. There are opportunities even to use existing games, even secular games, in schools, churches, community events, and LAN parties to reach gamers for Christ in their own communities. We need financial partners to come along side us to help us reach this unreached people group with the message of the Gospel. This is our mission, to reach the world for Christ through games, both in supporting game development studios which are making Christian games, and in sponsoring events that bring gamers together in a Christian atmosphere to play games and experience the love of Christ through games. Walk with us in this journey. How far can we go with the message of the gospel through games? Can we get our games into countries that otherwise are difficult to reach? Can we get them into your community? Rez the World, corp. is a 508(c)1A registered non-profit company in the state of Idaho, and all donations are tax deductible.

Donate to our Ministry

When you think about reaching the unreached people of the world for Christ, who comes to mind? Most people think about Indigenous tribes that live in deep jungles, isolated islands, or far-away African villages. Sometimes people think about the homeless, immigrants, prisoners, or other disadvantaged people. All of those answers would be correct, and there are already countless ministries whose mission is to reach those people. However, there is an unreached people that most Christians never think about.

Here at Rez the World, our ministry is to reach these unreached people that the majority of other Christian missions and ministries will never touch. These people are not generally found in jungles, deserts, wastelands, soup kitchens, homeless shelters, prisons, safe houses, or other desperate locations. They are hanging out with their friends online from the safety of their warm homes with plenty of food and most of their daily needs met comfortably. They have everything they need, except Jesus. Will you donate to help bring the message of the cross to these precious ones?
