Yun War Discovers the Power of Prayer

In a quiet orphanage in Myanmar, a young girl named Yun War is learning what it means to truly talk to God. At just 12 years old, Yun War once struggled with prayer. It felt like a duty—something she did because she had to, not because she wanted to. But everything began to change when she encountered Superbook.

Through the animated Bible series, Yun War was introduced to the lesson “Teach Us to Pray”—a story that opened her heart to the beauty and power of prayer. For the first time, she realized that prayer wasn’t just a ritual. It was a relationship. She could talk to God not only in sorrow, but also in joy.

One day, feeling tired and worn out, Yun War prayed a simple prayer in Jesus’ name: she asked for new shoes. It may have seemed like a small request, but to her, it was a big need. And God answered. 

Yun War received a brand-new pair of shoes. God had provided for her exactly what she needed.

That moment changed everything. Yun War saw firsthand that prayer builds faith. It wasn’t just about asking—it was about trusting. Encouraged by this experience, she began to pray more boldly—not just for herself, but for others. She started praying for non-believers, for children to come to know Jesus, and for hearts to be transformed.

“I decided to pray more in my life and for others,” shared Yun War.

Today, Yun War is no longer the girl who was too lazy to pray. She is growing in obedience and faith, learning to walk closely with the God who hears her. Her transformation is a beautiful reminder that even the smallest hearts can carry great faith—and that God listens to every prayer, no matter how simple.

Superbook is doing more than telling Bible stories. It’s helping children like Yun War experience the love of Jesus, understand the power of prayer, and live out their faith with joy and purpose.
