Who Could Replace Dad?

9-year-old Channa moved to an orphanage after her father died and her mother abandoned her. 

“When he died and mom gave me away, I was afraid to love anyone.  I thought ‘If I love them, they will die or leave me,’” said Channa with her eyes cast downward. 

The longer Channa lived at the orphanage, the more isolated she felt.  For a long time, she cried between classes in the school bathroom.

“I cried because I missed my dad.” She said.  “I did not have any friends.”   

One day, a teacher at the children’s home heard about Superbook through our CBN website in Cambodia. She showed her class the animated Bible stories, including the episode about Daniel in the Lion’s Den. 

“I saw how God protected Daniel!” declared Channa. “It helped me to learn that God would never give up on me.  That God will never leave me.”

One day Channa’s asked her teacher to help her to pray to become Christian. 

“I asked her to pray with me so Jesus will forgive my sins and come into my heart,” said Channa, her eyes now filled with light!  

Since that day, Channa has continued to watch Superbook and read her Bible.  And that’s helped her to learn a vital truth: That God really loves her.     

“I know now that God is my father!” she said.  “He helps me with everything!”      

Channa has also learned to trust others at the children’s home.  She said that change began with Superbook.

“Superbook has made me into a new person!  Thank you to everyone who brought Superbook to me!” she said with a smile.
