From Muslim to a Child of God

6-year-old Alya was raised as a Muslim in Indonesia.
 
Alya said, “I used to do daily prayer and recite the Quran. And I went to the Mosque.” 
 
Alya had never heard about Jesus or the Bible until one day she met someone who invited her to an afterschool program supported by CBN’s Orphan’s Promise. Her parents agreed and signed her up. There, she received free tutoring, snacks, and learned about God from CBN’s SuperBook. 
 
“At the afterschool program, I learn about counting, reading, and I watched SuperBook,” said Alya.
 
One day, she watched the story of Jesus dying on the cross, and she also learned why He did it.  
 
“Jesus was crucified to wash away our sins,” explained Alya. “That day, I learned I am a sinner. I was sad to see when they nailed Jesus’ hands.”
 
That day, Alya said she prayed to become a Christian.
 
“I prayed, ‘Lord Jesus, come into my heart. Be my Lord and Savior,’” said Alya. “I am happy because Jesus forgave my sins.”
 
Alya said she loves talking about SuperBook with her parents, and said her mom has now become a Christian too.
 
With a big smile, Alya said, “Thank you to the people who showed me SuperBook, and for the afterschool program too. God bless you.”
