Superbook Helped Christy Heal in Indonesia

In a quiet town in Indonesia, 11-year-old Christy lives in a loving, humble home. Her parents care deeply for her, but like many families, they weren’t always aware of the struggles she faced outside their walls. A year ago, when Christy was still in 4th grade, she experienced something no child should ever have to endure—she was bullied, hit, and ganged up on by two older classmates for reasons she couldn’t understand.

The pain ran deep. Christy felt confused, angry, and heartbroken. The emotional wounds lingered, and her sense of safety and trust was shaken.

But hope came through an unexpected source—CBN Animation’s Superbook.

Christy attends a Sunday school that utilizes Superbook Academy as its curriculum, and the children explore the Bible through animated episodes and engaging lessons. One day, her class watched the episode titled “The Prodigal Son.” In it, she saw the story of a father who forgives his son, even after being deeply hurt. That message struck a chord in Christy’s heart.

It was the beginning of her healing.

She began to understand the power of forgiveness—not just as a concept, but as a path to peace. Slowly, she started praying, opening up, and learning to forgive the classmates who had hurt her. Even though she still didn’t know why they had treated her that way, she chose to let go of the anger.

“I learned to forgive others' mistakes, even if they don't apologize. It turns out that when I forgive, my heart finds peace.”

Christy’s decision to forgive brought a wave of transformation. She felt relief, peace, and joy. Her relationships began to mend. She found strength in prayer and comfort in knowing that God was with her.

This is the power of Superbook.

Through the animated Bible stories of CBN Animation’s Superbook, children like Christy are discovering the love of Jesus in ways that speak directly to their hearts. In a culture where emotional pain is often hidden, Superbook is helping children process, heal, and grow spiritually.
