How can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? (Romans 10:14)

Within the vibrant communities and the quiet corners of the world, stories of faith and transformation emerge. At the heart of one such story is Kushi, a 10-year-old girl whose journey of faith has touched the lives of many around her, proving that even the youngest among us can be mighty prayer warriors.

Kushi’s journey with God began in an after-school program sponsored by Orphan’s Promise, where the stories of CBN Animation’s Superbook inspired her to place faith in Christ. It was here, amidst friends and mentors, that Kushi discovered the power of prayer. “Superbook and the teachers here taught me to believe in God and pray for everyone,” Kushi shares with a bright smile.

Moved by the Bible episodes she watched, Kushi began to pray at home with her parents. It wasn’t long before her entire family was drawn into the journey, learning about Jesus Christ and making the decision to follow Him. “Kushi used to come home and tell us about the Superbook stories. We learned that Jesus said, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me’”, says Shivratari, Kushi’s mother. “I slowly developed faith in God and started meditating on the Word of God. This gave me peace of mind. My husband and I finally decided to receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.”

Kushi’s faith didn't stop there. She began to pray for her neighbors, her community—and witnessed miraculous answers. From helping a neighbor conceive after years of waiting for a child to seeing her own family blessed with a new home through a government housing program, Kushi’s prayers were a testament to her inspirational faith.

Today, Kushi dreams of becoming a Gospel singer, using her voice to spread the Word of God. “I enjoy playing piano for God’s glory, and I love worshipping Jesus Christ,” she says, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Through Superbook, children are introduced to the Gospel in a relatable and engaging way. With over 2 billion views on YouTube and over 1 million decisions to follow Jesus through the app alone, Superbook is a powerful tool for sharing God’s love.

Gordon Robertson, CEO of the Christian Broadcasting Network, calls Superbook “the most effective evangelistic tool developed by CBN in over 60 years of ministry.” The reach and impact are undeniable, touching lives across the globe, just like Kushi’s.

Our partners play a crucial role in this mission, enabling us to bring the incredible stories of the Bible to children everywhere. Together, we are sowing seeds of faith that will grow and flourish, transforming lives and communities in the process.

It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it (Isaiah 55:11). Kushi’s story is a living testament to this promise, a reminder of the powerful journey of faith that begins with experiencing the word of God and the story of Jesus.

Aashi said, “Khushi’s prayer gave me hope.”

Munna said, “Khushi’s prayer worked and I studied well.” 

Seema said, “I was blessed with a baby girl from Khushi’s prayer.”

Ravinder said, “Khushi’s prayer encouraged me.”

It may sound like they’re talking about a pastor or evangelist, but the people you just heard are talking about a 10-year-old girl. Khushi is part of an after-school-program run by Orphan’s Promise. One of the many activities here is watching regular showings of CBN’s SuperBook. This is where Khushi learned to be a prayer warrior. 

Khushi explained, “I love to watch SuperBook episodes. SuperBook and the teachers here taught me to believe in God and pray for everyone.” 

Khushi was moved by the SuperBook stories she saw. She started praying with her parents. Khushi's teacher visited their house and taught the whole family more about Jesus Christ. 

Khushi’s mother, Shivratari, said, “Khushi used to come home and tell us about the SuperBook stories. We learned that Jesus said, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.’ I slowly developed faith in God and started meditating on the Word of God. This gave me peace of mind. My husband and I finally decided to receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.” 

After seeing the changes in her own family, Khushi started praying for other people. 

Khushi said, “My neighbor’s daughter was depressed and worried, because she was married, but had no baby. I felt bad for her, so I started to pray for her, because that’s what SuperBook taught me to do.” 

Seema said, “I was married for eight years, but I never had a baby. People said such bad things about me that I avoided going out, or I didn’t want to talk to anyone. Then I was blessed with a beautiful baby girl. I thank God for this miracle, and I thank Khushi for praying for me.” 

Through SuperBook and the after-school-program, Khushi’s faith and her prayer life continued to grow.  

Khushi explained, “We lived in a slum, and one day, I heard that our home was going to be demolished, so I prayed.”   

The family enrolled in a government-run housing assistance program, even though they knew very few families were helped through the program.

Shivratari said, “We all prayed for a home.  Our family was chosen, and God blessed us with a brand-new house.”

Khushi said, “I was so happy and excited when I saw our own home, and I thanked God for this beautiful gift.” 

Khushi is learning to play the piano and wants to become a gospel singer to spread the Word of God. 

“I enjoy playing piano for God’s glory, and I love worshipping Jesus Christ,” said Khushi.

Wherever faith takes this young prayer warrior, she’ll always know her journey began with the Orphan’s Promise after-school-program and SuperBook. 

Khushi said, “I’m so happy that SuperBook has given me and my family a beautiful life filled with joy and peace. Thank you so much, SuperBook.”

FLASHPOINT

In the fall of 2020, amidst a turbulent presidential election, Kenneth Copeland called Gene Bailey and told him he needed to produce an alternative to mainstream media news. From that conversation came the show, Flashpoint, in which Gene discusses news of the day from a biblical perspective. He expected the program to run six or seven weeks leading up to the election; it’s still going strong several years later.

According to the Collins English Dictionary, “A flashpoint is the moment at which a conflict, especially a political conflict, suddenly gets worse and becomes violent.” Gene sees many such situations in America and the world today. “Gender confusion is becoming normalized, open borders, and international tensions that were moving in the right direction in 2020 now … at a boiling point again.” He sees a major concern for our country and the world, of course, in Israel and the horrific war brought to her by Iran and its proxy groups.

In response to these and all other “flashpoints,” Gene believes what’s needed is spiritual reform - revival - and that God will use His Church, not political leaders, to bring that about. “Pastors need to pastor. Leaders need to lead. And believers need to believe God for what seems to be impossible. We must remember this fundamental truth: God does His best work in impossible situations. “Don’t lose hope,” Gene exhorts us. Regarding our country in particular, he says, “America is not lost, but we are in a war for the very soul of our nation.”  

AWAKENED, NOT WOKE

“The term ‘woke’ has become almost seamlessly intertwined with the ‘cancel culture’ movement, which has sought to eliminate evidence of and rewrite our history,” Gene says. “Of course, most of us still realize that true and accurate history is full of gems that can give us clues as to how to walk through the season we’re in. Though our society has been in upheaval, God has been at work using political chaos and the pandemic to turn us into awakened people, not ‘woke’ people.” The answer to this ideology is not simply intellectual, Gene believes, but once again, spiritual. He says the Church needs to be awakened, roused from spiritual sleep, inactivity, and indifference. “Throughout our history we have experienced revival, awakening, and reformation in our culture several times. And our current situation shows us that we need God to pour out His power and His presence on us again.” He cites Scripture:

This is all the more urgent, for you know how late it is; time is running out. Wake up, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. Romans 13:11  

Believing we’re in the beginning of another great awakening, Gene looks back at one of the great influences of the First Great Awakening, George Whitefield. “In its simplest form, Whitefield’s message was, ‘You must be born again.’ He preached this one message three thousand times, and it changed a nation. The Awakening in America spread. It became not just about George Whitefield’s preaching, but as more and more got saved, it became about one person sharing with another what God had done in their life.” There are many lessons Gene says we can learn from Whitefield:

•    Personal background doesn’t disqualify. Whitefield was born in a bar, lived his childhood in poverty, and as a young man was known for filthy language and lying.  
•    Believers also belong outside the church walls. We’re called to be salt and light in a dark world. “The churches closed their doors to Whitefield, but he found multitudes of hungry people outside. So will you,” Gene says. 
•    Everyone has a gift. “You have a gift and a passion for something. Pay attention to that. God is, and He’s planning to use it for His glory.”  

PREPARING FOR REVIVAL

Gene reminds us that God’s plans for this nation and world will not be thwarted and that the next awakening is already here. Evidence is the Brownsville revival in 1995, the Asbury College revival in 2023, and many more in countries like Iran, Thailand, Myanmar, Algeria, India, and Africa. “Know that revival, awakening, and reformation are not about how good you are or how ‘effective‘ your ministry is. Kingdom life is about yielding to the Lord and saying yes to what He is doing, no matter what it looks like.” Gene goes on to present a number of practical steps we can take to align ourselves with God’s plan. Two of them are:

•    Think generationally. “We’re standing on the shoulders of those who have gone before us in revelation of the Word of who Jesus is and of what they’ve done in our world. When we think about our children’s children, and even their children, we will be motivated to run fast and run hard!” 
•    Do everything in love. “Loving others doesn’t mean that we go along with everything, but we must be diligent to keep our hearts right in all that we do. We all have passionate ideas and opinions about the current state of our nation, and righteous anger is of the Lord. Scripture tells us that we can be angry and not sin, so we must pay attention to this,” Gene exhorts us.
