China Loves Superbook

Meet 8-year-old Mengen from China.  “My name ‘Mengen’ means to be blessed by God,” she shares.

Mengen asked her parents for a children's Bible when she was two. Now, she loves Jesus. Pointing to scriptures she’s put on the wall, she declares, “He says, ‘When you call on me, I'll listen.’ So I feel He is very near to me, and I'm really interested in the stories of the Bible.”

But she always had a lot of questions. Her mother recalls, “Whether I read the Bible to her or she read it herself, she didn’t really understand everything.”

“I wished I could see what happened with my own eyes,” Mengen adds.

So she started looking at Christian storybooks and drawing pictures from the Bible. Then she was introduced to Superbook in Mandarin.  She remembers fondly, “I fell in love with Superbook the first time I saw it! It helped me to know God better. And the characters look so real!”

Her mother contributes, “I feel comfortable with Superbook because it's an accurate representation of the Bible, and it's safe.”  She continues with a big smile, “When Mengen would ask me, ‘Mom can I see Superbook today?’  and I said ‘Yes,’ she would start to cheer!” 

Mengen watched “The First Christmas” on-line 20 times in two months.

Her mother says, “I always pointed-out that Chris gave his treasure to the poor boy in story, and that touched her heart.”

She counted her coins and donated them all to CBN for Superbook.  Then, she made a personal visit to a CBN-sponsored special needs school and introduced the children there to Superbook.

She shares, “I wanted to help children-in-need, like Chris did. And I wanted to help them believe in God.”

Mengen can't wait to watch the next episode of Superbook in Mandarin.  “I want to share Superbook with more and more needy children” she says.  “It feels really good to help others.”

All the children at the special needs school conclude with a cheer, “We love Superbook!"
