Mykhailo Stands Strong with Superbook

Ten-year-old Mykhailo lives in Ukraine with his parents and three brothers. Life changed dramatically for his family when the war forced them to leave their home near the Russian border and move to a village in another region. Uprooted from everything familiar, Mykhailo faced the challenge of starting over in a new place.

Soon after arriving, Mykhailo joined a Superbook Club and attended a summer camp. There, he discovered a world of fun and faith—playing games, joining competitions, and watching animated Bible stories that captured his imagination. Like many kids his age, Mykhailo loves cartoons, but what truly touched his heart was the message of hope and courage found in CBN Animation’s Superbook.

Among all the biblical heroes, Mykhailo chose one above the rest as his favorite—Jesus. He shared:

“He is always right, never sinned and forgave all our sins.”

One episode that deeply impacted him was “Let My People Go,” specifically the moment Moses lead the Israelites across the Red Sea. Mykhailo recalls:

“This story taught me to listen to God… the people who were faithful [and] obedient, God protected and always saved.”

That lesson became real when Mykhailo faced a difficult choice. A group of teenagers tried to recruit him to join them in doing bad things. Despite their mockery and insults, Mykhailo stood firm and refused. His courage came from the truths he learned through CBN Animation’s Superbook—trusting God and choosing what is right.

Today, Mykhailo continues to grow in faith, striving to be like Jesus and living out the lessons he learns through CBN Animation’s Superbook. In a time of uncertainty and hardship, these stories have given him strength, hope, and a clear sense of purpose.
