From Orphan to Overcomer
In the heart of Cambodia, nestled within the walls of an orphanage, lives a bright-eyed, 7-year-old girl named Sreythy. Her journey has been anything but easy. Born into a broken, non-Christian family marked by divorce and emotional neglect, Sreythy and her two siblings were separated. Her older brother was sent to another orphanage, leaving her to navigate life with only her younger sibling by her side.
For nearly three years, Sreythy has called the orphanage home. Then one day she began to experience something new—hope. That hope came through an unexpected source: CBN Animation’s Superbook.
At first, Sreythy joined the Superbook Sunday School program simply for fun, drawn in by the colorful animation and engaging stories. But what started as entertainment soon became a lifeline. Through the stories of the Bible brought to life by CBN Animation’s Superbook, Sreythy encountered the love of Jesus in a way she had never known. She saw it reflected in the kindness of her teachers, the forgiveness of her peers, and the warmth of a community that embraced her.
One episode in particular changed everything for her— “A Giant Adventure,” the story of David and Goliath. Watching David, a small boy with unwavering faith, defeat a giant, Sreythy saw herself. “God gives us the power to overcome big problems,” she says. That message resonated deeply. She realized that her size, her past, and her circumstances did not define her. With God on her side, she could be brave.
And brave she became.
Once shy and withdrawn, Sreythy now speaks boldly about Jesus. She has invited three friends to church, sharing the Word of God with a confidence that surprises even her teachers. Her transformation is remarkable—where she was once stubborn and lazy, she is now obedient, compassionate, and eager to help around the orphanage. Her studies have improved, and she’s received love not only from her teachers but also from fellow students.
CBN Animation’s Superbook didn’t just entertain Sreythy—it empowered her. It gave her a vision of who she could be through faith. It connected her to a global community of believers and showed her that even in Cambodia, even in an orphanage, God’s love reaches deep and transforms lives.
Sreythy’s story is one of many. Around the world, children are discovering the truth of God’s Word through Superbook. From villages in Southeast Asia to cities across the globe, the impact is real and lasting.
