Shalom Dear CBN Partners,
I was deeply moved to witness thousands of children opening their homes and inviting their friends to watch the special Easter program of Superbook. The children were very enthusiastic to come. Some of them came from far away, but they still wanted to come! Not just coming, but they genuinely wanted to experience God's love.
I was even more amazed by the story of Elkiana, a 10-year-old girl from the remote village of Mundek in Rote Ndao Regency, East Nusa Tenggara. She was invited by her friend. When she watched the Superbook episode 'The Greatest Love,' God's love touched her heart. She was reminded of her parents who had left her and her three siblings, leaving them to be raised by their elderly grandfather. She was filled with disappointment! But at that moment, her heart was touched by God's forgiving love, so she forgave her parents and surrendered her life to follow God! I believe this is just one of thousands of other children across Indonesia whose lives have been touched and restored by God's love through this year's Super Easter event.
CBN Partners, for many years, we have been working on this discipleship program to bring every child who is vulnerable to being hurt, abused, and damaged by loved ones, strangers and by the influence of today's media to experience God's love. We should be grateful that CBN's ministry is led by God to disciple all nations, starting with the generation of children, from the youngest age. To this day, we continue to work hand in hand with more than 5,000 partner churches in cities and villages. We continue to fight for this discipleship to multiply itself through the local church.
We are so grateful that each CBN Partner allows God to use your life for the ministry of this generation! May God continue to bless you and your entire family.
