Rachana Gains Confidence Through Superbook
In the heart of Cambodia, a 12-year-old girl named Rachana has faced a life filled with complexities and challenges. Rachana's family situation was, in her words, “intertwined like a spider's web.” She was the youngest of seven siblings in her original family, but after her parents divorced, her family dynamics changed dramatically. Living with her mother and stepfather, while her father had another family, Rachana found herself in a world that felt fragmented and confusing.
Fear and shyness troubled Rachana as a young person. She rarely spoke, struggled academically, and had few friends. Her world began to change when a friend invited her to church. It was there that she encountered Superbook, a series that brings Bible stories to life through animation.
Rachana vividly recalls her first Superbook lesson, “In the Beginning.” Through this episode, she learned about God's creation of man and the fall into sin. This revelation was transformative for Rachana. “I knew God created man and man sinned against the origin of the world. I was a sinner, and God forgave me,” she shared. This newfound understanding led her to pray for forgiveness, receive Jesus as her Savior, and start attending church regularly.
The impact of Superbook on Rachana's life was profound. The stories of “Jonah” and the “Fiery Furnace” particularly resonated with her. These episodes inspired her to overcome her fears and embrace bravery. "My life changed every day after coming to church from a shy person to a brave kid who dared to speak, ask questions, and answer questions to others," Rachana explained.
Superbook not only helped Rachana connect with the Word of God but also allowed her to experience Jesus's love in a personal and transformative way. Superbook has the potential to reach even more children like Rachana, offering them the same hope and transformation. But we can’t do this alone.
