Superbook Brings Artem to Salvation
In the heart of Ukraine, a 10-year-old boy named Artem faced a difficult and emotional journey. When he was just 7 years old, Artem experienced the pain of his parents’ divorce. Since then, he has lived with his father while his younger sister, Nastya, stayed with their mother. The siblings could only see each other on weekends, adding to the emotional strain.
Artem's father, who had recently repented and found faith, brought him to the Superbook Club for the first time about two years ago. Initially, Artem resisted. “At first, I didn't want to go to church, to the club, to school or any other place. Everyone around me seemed evil and I didn’t want to see anyone. I wanted only one thing—to go home to my mother. But she would not take me back,” Artem recalls. His feelings of rejection and confusion led him to act out, hoping to be expelled from the club. “I did everything to get kicked out. I did not listen to the teacher and did bad things. But they didn't kick me out.”
Despite his initial resistance, the Superbook Club became a place of transformation for Artem. Over time, he began to feel more comfortable and even looked forward to attending. The turning point came when he watched the Superbook episodes and learned about the love and sacrifice of Jesus. These stories resonated deeply with him, helping him understand that he was not alone, and that God had a plan for him.
Artem's heart began to soften, and he repeated the sinner’s prayer, accepting Jesus into his life. “I have my own Bible. I read it by myself and with my dad. We pray for my mom together and we wait for her to come to church. I also pray,” he shares. This new faith brought a sense of peace and purpose to Artem's life. He found comfort in the Word of God and began to see the world differently.
The impact of Superbook on Artem's life was profound. He went from feeling unwanted and struggling academically to becoming a confident and diligent student. “Now I have friends. I used to think that no one wanted me, that I was stupid and would never be able to study well. Now I study well and memorize Bible stories and verses,” Artem proudly states.
