Superbook Brings Jesus to Children in Russia
This July, the Superbook team in Russia had the joy of witnessing two incredible Superbook summer camps, one in a quaint village in the Omsk region and another in the bustling city of Novosibirsk. These camps brought together children and communities, all united by their passion for Christ and the engaging new “Jesus is a Superhero” program.
The local Evangelical Lutheran community in Omsk organized a delightful summer camp. Despite the village's modest size, the enthusiasm was immense. Fifteen children participated in the camp, where they enjoyed a variety of activities centered around the theme of Jesus as a superhero. Each child was eager to learn and grow in their faith. The camp was filled with joy, laughter, and meaningful lessons about the incredible power of Jesus.
Meanwhile, a church in Novosibirsk hosted a children's camp
using the same "Jesus is a Superhero" program. This camp saw a much larger turnout, with 90 children attending. The highlight of the camp was a special visit from Gizmo, the beloved Superbook character. Gizmo's presence brought excitement and wonder as he congratulated the children and shared stories about Jesus's incredible superpowers.
These camps were more than just fun and games; they were transformative experiences for the children. Through the Superbook episodes, songs, and activities, the children connected deeply with the Word of God. They learned about Jesus's love, courage, and the power of faith. The "Jesus is a Superhero" program helped them see Jesus not just as a historical figure, but as a living, powerful presence in their lives.
One of the most touching moments was seeing the children's reactions to the stories. Their eyes lit up with understanding and excitement as they realized that they, too, could have a relationship with Jesus. The camps provided a safe and nurturing environment for them to ask questions, share their thoughts, and grow in their faith.
The Superbook team was hard at work in July, preparing a new summer camp program they released in mid-August. This involved extensive translation work, designing, and compiling materials to ensure that Sunday school teachers and Superbook enthusiasts have everything they need to continue this important ministry. Seeing the great work being done by different Superbook Clubs is incredibly encouraging and motivates the team to keep creating resources that make a difference.
