Urban Brew Studios which runs the One Gospel (DStv 331) channel on MultiChoice's DStv is adding the channel's first kids edutainment series, Friends in Faith, from Wednesday 3 July at 15:00.
Urban Brew Studios says Kids in Faith "marks a historic milestone for the channel as it deepens its commitment to nurturing young hearts and minds through faith-inspired storytelling".
Friends in Faith is described as "a joyful, energetic series that blends education, entertainment, and Christian values in a way that’s engaging and meaningful for kids and families alike".
"Each episode is anchored in Biblical principles - love, friendship, forgiveness, obedience, and faith - all presented through fun studio games, music, storytelling, and real-life moments with kids both in-studio and at home."
Yandiswa Nkonde, One Gospel channel head, says "Friends in Faith is more than a show - it's a ministry to our youngest viewers".
"We've had tremendous success with our licensed kids' content over the past three years, and now we are overjoyed to introduce something truly our own - content that speaks directly to the spiritual and emotional growth of children within a familiar and entertaining format."
South African personalities like Candice Modiselle, Dr Katlego Lekalakala and Thando Makhaphela will appear as guests in some episodes.
Calvin Sefala, Urban Brew Studios CEO, says "Partnering with One Gospel to bring this vision to life has been a blessing. This is a show that will plant seeds of faith, kindness, and courage in young viewers."
