You brought Micky out of a dark tunnel and into the light
Pandemic lockdowns hit Micky’s town on the border between Kenya and Uganda hard.
With schools closed, teens like Micky turned to drugs and alcohol to pass the time and deal with the stress …
“My life was a dark tunnel, and I could no longer see any bright days ahead,” he recalls.
Even when school began again, things weren’t the same — Micky cut classes, disrespected his teachers, refused to obey his parents; he bullied the weaker kids and fought with the stronger ones.
But then you gave Micky a wonderful gift: the Book of Hope. He read about the life of Jesus, and suddenly the dark tunnel of his life seemed to be growing brighter.
He dedicated his life to Christ, and was able to get free from drugs and alcohol!
Micky was enrolled in our Lead Today program, which helps teenagers discover principles of godly leadership from the Bible.
Today Micky is serving a OneHope internship and is involved in helping more children and youth receive God’s Word, and we can see God at work in his life!
“Thank you to whoever provided the Book of Hope for me,” he says. “You enabled me to transform from the darker side of life to a brighter future!”
Digital connection sparks hope and new life in Christ!
It’s not easy for believers to reach out to the next generation here, but OneHope digital programs help ease the burden and connect young people with God’s Word and local fellowships, all online.
This is how Shanaya found herself in a text chat with a new Christian friend, an online missionary who is part of the What If It’s True? program in her area. And once they began chatting, Shanaya found she had lots of questions for her new friend!
At first the questions seemed spiritual and theological …
- “Why did God in the Bible choose Israel as the chosen people?”
- “Why don’t Muslims believe in Jesus?”
Then the questions became more personal …
- “Why can’t I concentrate in school?”
- “Why do I feel so angry all the time?”
- “Why do I have so many nightmares?”
The online missionary faithfully answered the texts with explanations from Scripture, inspirational teaching and passages from God’s Word, assurances that Jesus loved her …
And today Shanaya is following Christ as Savior!
She still has lots of questions, and she’s not ready to begin attending a local church yet — that’s a big step for a new believer in her country. Please pray for her as she’s growing in God day by day.
Thank you for sending God’s Word to Shanaya — through the internet!
Superbook is making an impact
Sebastian Pagador Church in Bolivia recently held training seminars for young volunteers to introduce the Superbook program with video and digital components and show them how they can use it to reach the children of their region with God’s Word. The attendees were enthused by what they learned:
- “The workshops helped me understand how to teach children — and I was intrigued by the ways we can use Superbook to share God’s Word with special needs kids.”
- “I love Superbook! It works for children and adolescents, and the digital application is perfect for today.”
- “Superbook is an excellent tool for evangelizing and reaching children with digital technology. I liked it a lot because it provides episodes, games, and a program that children can watch.”
Superbook is one of dozens of targeted Scripture programs getting God’s Word to children and youth around the world. Just $1 reaches 3 young people with the Good News.
