AUGUST 2019

Nearly forty years ago the Christian

Broadcasting Network (CBN) launched

an innovative children’s animated

Bible series as part of our outreach to

Japan. Known in Japan as Anime Oyako Gekijo (“Animated Parent and Child

Theater”), this was the beginnings of

the CBN series now known worldwide

as Superbook. The popularity of the

series took off immediately, as over

eight million viewers per night watched

Superbook on Japanese prime-time

television.

A few years later the series spread

to the Soviet Union, where millions

more children were impacted by the

biblical truths they experienced through

Superbook as it aired in prime time on

Soviet National TV.

Today Superbook has grown into one

of the most impacting faith-based

children’s series of all time, as it regularly

reaches over 160 million viewers in 90

countries and 46 languages.

As impressive as that all sounds, for

us here at CBN the ultimate success

of Superbook is about the children

and families who are reached with the

incomparable message of God’s love.

On a personal note, each week I am

blessed to hear countless stories of

children who have accepted Jesus as

their Saviour through Superbook. Allow

me to share just one of them with you. It

is the story of Francis, a young boy who

struggled with anxiety until he started

watching Superbook.

“I was afraid when I got picked to stand

in front of the whole school and show

them my homework,” said Francis to

us recently. “I was afraid and thought

people were going to laugh at me.”

But as Francis began to watch

Superbook, he came to understand

the power of God. “I believed that I

can do all things through Christ who

strengthens me,” he said. “I shouldn’t

be afraid because I know the power

that God has given me.... I believe with

my heart that Jesus died and rose

again to take away my sin.”

Thanks to TBN UK, Superbook is

reaching countless children like Francis

across the UK with the message of

hope through Jesus. Here at CBN

Europe we are so thankful for our

partnership with TBN UK. We want

to thank everyone who supports this

amazing ministry.

Reaching Children with God’s Love

In our recent TBN UK survey, viewers chose the popular CBN animated series Superbook as their number-one children’s programme. So this month, with the school holidays in full swing across the UK, CBN Europe’s Regional Director Mark Dijkens is here to tell us how Superbook is impacting children with timeless moral truths and crucial life lessons through the captivating, Bible-based adventures of two time-traveling youngsters and their robot friend. Superbook airs Fridays on TBN UK at 4:30 p.m., and repeats Saturdays at 8:30 a.m.
