Minno Pioneers ASL Bible Series to Make Faith Accessible for Kids

Minno, renowned as the leading source of Christian content for children, is taking a monumental step in enhancing the accessibility of faith-based resources. The company recently announced the launch of American Sign Language (ASL) versions of its flagship series, Laugh and Grow Bible for Kids, set to debut on August 8, 2025. This groundbreaking initiative aims to ensure that children who communicate in ASL can experience the Gospel in a language that resonates with them.

Bridging the Gap

As caregivers and educators increasingly recognize the value of inclusivity, Minno is at the forefront of this movement. In partnership with Bridge Multimedia, a company with a strong background in educational programming for platforms like PBS Kids, they have tailored their content to meet the needs of the deaf and hard-of-hearing community. According to Erick Goss, CEO and Co-founder of Minno, “We’re building the most accessible Christian kids' media platform in the world.” He emphasizes that this is the first-ever Bible series for children created in ASL, marking a significant milestone in religious education.

The content reflects Minno’s commitment to making faith-based narratives comprehensible to every child, internalizing the understanding that children learn best through various mediums. The initiative isn’t limited to ASL; Minno is also broadening its reach by increasing its offerings in Spanish and Portuguese. Notably, Spanish content is already among the top 10 most-watched programs on Minno's platform, with initiatives to launch a dual-language preschool series, Guillermo Will, created by Emmy-nominated puppeteer Donna Kimball.

Expanding Horizons

Minno's Laugh and Grow Bible for Kids series, which currently comprises 42 episodes and several specials, continues to expand. The upcoming programming will include several new features promoting multilingual access to faith-based content. Along with the ASL adaptations, new episodes focusing on beloved stories like “Daniel and the Lions” and “The Book of Songs” will be available. Furthermore, audio-only versions are being introduced, catering to families during bedtime, car rides, and screen-free moments.

Recent additions to the platform include engaging content like The Dead Sea Squirrels and original series such as Micah and Suni the Super Unicorn. These initiatives reflect Minno's strategy of collaborating with top creators in children’s media, theologians, and child development experts to curate high-quality content that addresses the spiritual needs of today’s youth.

A Bright Future

The growth trajectory for Minno has been impressive, with significant milestones reached over the past year, including a three-fold increase in membership for the subscription-video-on-demand (SVOD) service. This remarkable progress positions Minno in the top echelons of direct-to-consumer subscription companies. Minno's YouTube channel has also celebrated monumental success, boasting over a million subscribers and 122 million views in a year, a testament to its burgeoning popularity in the realm of children's education and entertainment.

Erick Goss reflects on the future aspirations of Minno, saying, “This expansion is just the beginning for Minno. We believe the opportunity to reach kids with high-quality Christian content during the most formative window of their lives is massive.” The journey does not end here; they envision a global library of faith-filled stories that will not only cater to various languages and cultures but also set new standards for what children’s faith-based content can look like.

From the inception of the ASL Bible series to their global outreach strategies, Minno is dedicated to ensuring that every child has access to the teachings of Jesus Christ, tailored to their unique learning preferences.
