Mariya Discovers the Joy of Knowing Christ
In the beautiful and resilient country of Ukraine, a 12-year-old girl named Mariya is the third child in her family. Her mother works tirelessly as a nurse, while her father is employed at a local company producing peat fuel briquettes and other agricultural products. Mariya has an older sister who is married with her own family and another sister who is a dedicated student.
Mariya is a vibrant and active young girl. She loves attending dance classes, is sociable, and sings in the church children's choir. Every week, she participates in church services and is actively involved in her community. Despite her enthusiasm for these activities, Mariya found reading the Bible to be uninteresting and struggled to engage with it in a meaningful way.
This all changed when Mariya discovered the Superbook Club, which utilizes curriculum from Superbook Academy. The animated Bible stories in episodes of Superbook brought the Scriptures to life in a way that captivated her attention and sparked her interest. Through watching these cartoons, engaging in discussions, doing thematic crafts, and socializing with her peers, Mariya began to connect with the Word of God in a profound and personal way.
The Superbook Club provided Mariya with the opportunity to know the living Christ. The stories she watched were not just entertaining; they were transformative. They helped her understand the teachings of Jesus and experience His love. This new approach to learning about the Bible had a positive influence on her behavior and outlook on life.
Mariya's journey with Superbook didn't stop at the weekly club meetings. She also attended the "Invincible" camp. These experiences, along with her interactions with youth leaders and a priest, further encouraged her to study the Bible. The supportive community and engaging activities helped Mariya grow in her faith and deepen her relationship with God.
Mariya's story is a shining example of the global reach and power of CBN Animation’s Superbook. From the United States to Ukraine, Superbook has touched the heart of a young girl, helping her discover the joy of knowing Christ and the importance of faith.
