Superbook Inspires a Wave of Transformation Across Portugal

Across Portugal—from the northern hills to the vibrant heart of Lisbon—something extraordinary is happening. Teachers, parents, and children are experiencing the life-changing power of God’s Word through Superbook Academy, a Sunday school curriculum based on the animated series Superbook. As part of a nationwide teacher training marathon organized by the Evangelical Alliance, the Superbook team has been traveling the country, equipping educators and church leaders with tools to bring the Bible to life for the next generation.

With sessions already held in the northern and central parts of the country, as well as Lisbon, and more to come in the Algarve region, the response has been overwhelmingly positive. These gatherings have not only strengthened the reach of Superbook Academy and Superbook but have also sparked a renewed passion for children’s ministry.

One teacher shared a powerful testimony that reflects the heart of this mission:

“My child and [my] students watch Superbook daily, and I have witnessed transformative changes in their behavior and lives.”

This is the essence of Superbook’s impact—real stories of real children being transformed by the truth of Scripture. Through engaging animation, relatable characters, and timeless Bible stories, children are learning to walk in faith, love others, and live with purpose.

The presence of Gizmo, Superbook’s beloved robot companion, was a highlight at the events—bringing joy and excitement to both children and adults. His appearance reminded everyone that learning about God can be fun, memorable, and deeply meaningful.

These training sessions have not only equipped teachers with practical tools but have also created a ripple effect of spiritual growth in classrooms and homes across Portugal. As more churches and schools embrace Superbook Academy, the seeds of faith are being planted in young hearts—seeds that will grow and bear fruit for generations to come.

We humbly celebrate this success, knowing that it is God who brings the increase. And we invite you to be part of this growing movement. You can share this story to inspire others to join the mission, explore Superbook and Superbook Academy resources for your own family or church at superbook.cbn.com, and donate to CBN Animation’s Superbook ministry to help expand Superbook’s reach and send Superbook Academy to even more churches across Portugal and beyond.

Together, we can equip more teachers, reach more children, and transform more lives—one episode, one classroom, one heart at a time.
