CBN.com —Marianna is a missionary in the remote far east of Russia. She works with a people group known as the Evenkis. Most Evenki fathers live far from home raising reindeer while mothers take full care of the households. The children are typically left alone.
“It breaks my heart when I think about these kids and the fact that nobody cares for them,” says Marianna. “I know how much they need love.”
Marianna knows that sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ with these children and their families is important. She herself grew up in former Soviet Union, never hearing about God, because practicing any organized religion was forbidden.
Yet even as a young child, Marianna knew there was more. She knew there had to be a God.
“I felt as if somebody was beside me,” says Marianna. “I said, ‘I don’t know your name or who you are but please help me learn about you.’”
Then Marianna and her brothers saw a cartoon on television. It was CBN’s original Superbook.
“They talked about God, and about who Jesus was,” says Marianna. “They even promised to send a booklet about Jesus to anyone who wrote a letter.”
Marianna wrote to CBN, and soon received a booklet that changed her life.
“I immediately understood, and believed that Jesus died for me,” says Marianna. “That’s why I prayed the prayer written in the booklet.”
Marianna kept watching Superbook cartoons to learn more about God. Today, she shows the new Superbook to her own children.
“My kids enjoy Superbook very much and watch this cartoon with great delight,” says Marianna.
She plans to show the cartoons to the Evenki children too.
“That’s why we get DVDs of this cartoon, so I can show them to all the children here,” says Marianna. “I was so excited when I learned they were making new Superbook cartoons. I think that’s wonderful.I want to say thank you for this cartoon. It saved me, and it means a lot to children. May the Lord bless you!”
