Chief Financial Officer

Here at TruPlay, we believe that what people play matters.  That is why we are building an interactive content Platform for children. Children spend countless hours on screens. There is hardly any faith-based content in the app stores. TruPlay is an engaging and transformative entertainment platform that invites you into a world of hope and God’s truth. It features faith-based games bringing the Bible to life for the whole family.

Our culture is falling apart. We are reaping decades of taking God’s message out of our culture. Very few voices speak into the lives of children with a Godly message. What messages are our children taking in? 

Our platform resonates with our 4 Foundations of Fun, Beauty, Excellence, and God’s Truth. With God’s Blessing, we will continue to reach millions worldwide.  Who will rise up to steward the next generation?  

TruPlay, join us today and play in the light.
