There is a consummate battle between good and evil in this world. We all struggle with it in our daily lives. But confined within these walls... kids are able to see that struggle by using the very hand they've been DEALT.

“If anything, they're here. They're in a church doing something fun. It gives them that connection of being in a church, doing something fun and they don't feel so intimidated by that,” said Chris Bany, Owner of Covenant Games.

In this church is where some otherwise at-risk kids are getting Bible lessons without the preaching.

“We've got a number of kids here today that come from a very low, practically poverty stricken part of Rochester. They've been brought here by a group running a mission. This is totally a foreign type of thing for them but such a positive way to break the chain of violence and everything for them,” said Chris.

It's a card game called Redemption, an action-packed collectable trading card game based on the Bible. Players send their heroes into battle against their opponents' evil hordes in an attempt to rescue lost souls. All heroes and evil characters are actual people taken from the Bible.

“With Redemption you're not trying to kill your opponent. You're using heroes from the Bible like David, Matthew, Mary, Elijah to try and rescue lost soul cards and your opponent is trying to stop you by using evil characters like Goliath, Judas and that type of thing,” Chris explained. (less)
