“Please change my daughter!”

Devira grew up in a Hindu family in Indonesia.  As the youngest child, the five-year-old was precocious and a bit spoiled.  Her mom Nyoman gave us an example.

“When I asked her to do something, she would say ‘Mom, you know I’m just a little kid! Ask my brother or sister to do it.’”   

Devira’s mom Nyoman works at restaurant owned by Christians.  She had secretly prayed there but never professed her faith publically.  Yet, she wanted Devira to know about Jesus too.  So she accepted an invitation for her daughter to attend a weekly Superbook Club near the restaurant.   

After a few visits, Devira saw the Episode “He is Risen!”  

“When I was saw Jesus die on the cross,” said Devira, “I learned that disobeying and ignoring my mom was a sin. I asked Jesus to forgive me.”

“I then prayed and said, ‘Jesus, I want to receive you as my savior.’”  

Devira’s mom noticed big changes in her daughter after that day.   

“Every time I ask her to do something now, she helps me with a smile!” stated Nyoman.  

Devira’s siblings and her dad are still Hindu, but that doesn’t stop Devira from talking about Superbook with them or inviting her mom to Superbook Club on Saturdays.

“I am grateful that Devira prayed to receive Jesus,” said Devira’s mom.

Devira was thankful too.  

“Thank you Superbook for helping me to know Jesus and become a better kid!”
