Gifty's Journey of Generosity with Superbook
In the vibrant nation of Indonesia, an 11-year-old girl named Gifty embarked on a journey that would transform her heart and deepen her faith. Born into a Christian family, Gifty was a diligent child who regularly attended Sunday school. Despite her dedication, she struggled with the concept of generosity. Sharing what she had with others did not come naturally to her, and when asked to share, she often did so reluctantly.
Gifty’s perspective began to change when she watched the Superbook episode “Jesus Feeds the Hungry,” which tells the story of how Jesus fed over 5,000 people with just five loaves of bread and two fish. This episode profoundly moved her, particularly the kindness of the young boy who willingly gave all he had to Jesus. His act of selflessness resonated deeply with Gifty, inspiring her to honor God through her own life.
“I felt convicted through the Superbook story of the five loaves and two fishes, which reminded me of the Bible verse Matthew 22:39,” Gifty shares. Matthew 22:39 is the verse in which Jesus tells His disciples the second most important commandment is to “Love your neighbor as yourself.” This newfound understanding of generosity as a reflection of Christ’s character led Gifty to start sharing her food with her siblings and friends without being asked. In doing so, she discovered a sense of joy and fulfillment she had never experienced before.
Gifty’s transformation did not stop at sharing food. She was inspired to serve in her church, praying for other children and sharing God’s love with them. Her missionary spirit also extended to her school, where she boldly shared God’s love with friends of different faiths. Gifty’s actions became a living testament to the power of the stories brought to life through Superbook, demonstrating how these biblical narratives can inspire real change in young hearts.
