Deborah Decides to Put God First

In the heart of Myanmar, 12-year-old Deborah was learning to navigate the challenges of growing up. Like many children her age, she struggled with priorities—especially when it came to her relationship with God. Each morning, Deborah would begin her day doing whatever she wanted, often forgetting to pray or read the Bible. Her spiritual life was inconsistent, and her heart was distracted. 

But everything changed when Deborah began attending Sunday school lessons featuring Superbook Academy.

Superbook Academy, the Sunday school curriculum based on CBN Animation’s Superbook series, brings the Bible to life through animated stories and provides teachers with the tools they need to teach God’s Word in a way that speaks directly to children’s hearts. For Deborah, one lesson stood out—the story of Philip. Through this episode, she learned the importance of putting God first in every part of her life. Deborah shared:

“After learning about Philip in the Superbook lesson, I started praying and reading the Bible regularly…I decided to put God first.”

This decision marked a turning point. Deborah began spending time with God before studying, making prayer and Bible reading a daily habit. Her commitment to prioritize God brought noticeable changes—not just in her behavior, but in her heart.

She says that since she started putting God first, she has gained wisdom, and her family has experienced God’s power. Her trust in the Lord has deepened, and her life now reflects a quiet confidence rooted in faith.

Deborah’s story is a beautiful example of how Superbook is helping children around the world discover the joy of walking with Jesus. In Myanmar, where spiritual growth is often nurtured through community and storytelling, Superbook is making a lasting impact—one child at a time.
