A Child’s Prayer Bears Fruit

In the picturesque island of Bali, a young girl named Prilli lives with her parents and sister. Despite the beauty of her surroundings, Prilli's early years were marked by a lack of religious guidance and a challenging home environment. Her parents, who never attended church, did not provide her with a meaningful introduction to faith. Additionally, Prilli often felt a deep sadness as she watched her father struggle with alcohol addiction.

One fateful day, Prilli was invited to attend Sunday School. It was here that she discovered the joy of learning Bible stories through Superbook, a captivating animated series that brings the stories of the Bible to life. Among the many episodes, one story touched Prilli's heart profoundly: "He Is Risen!", which depicts the crucifixion of Jesus. 

Prilli was deeply moved by the story of Jesus' sacrifice. She felt a profound sadness for Jesus, who endured such suffering out of love for humanity. This story taught her about God's immense love, and she began to believe that this love extended to her father as well. Inspired by this newfound faith, Prilli started praying for her father to stop drinking.

Her prayers were not in vain. Demonstrating remarkable courage for a six-year-old, Prilli approached her father and asked him to quit drinking. Her faith and determination bore sweet fruit—her father stopped drinking. This transformation did not stop there. Prilli's faith and love for God inspired her to invite both her parents to attend church with her. 

Now, Prilli is not only a child who loves God, but she also embodies the courage of faith. She has successfully brought her family closer to God, sharing His Word and love with them. Reflecting on her journey, Prilli says, "When I watched the story of Jesus being crucified, I felt sad for Jesus. He wanted to love us and forgive our sins. So I prayed that my dad would stop drinking and that he could come to church with me and listen to the words of Jesus."

Prilli's story is a testament to the transformative power of faith and the impact of Superbook. Through the engaging and heartfelt stories of the Bible, children like Prilli are connecting with the Word of God and experiencing profound changes in their lives.
