Planting Faith in the Hearts of Children Through Superbook

What do you want your child to grow up knowing?

For many parents, it’s important that their children grow up with faith in God. That’s why some schools and families use Superbook as a helpful tool in teaching Bible stories and values.

Last February, a two-day Sabay-Sabay Lilipad Caravan, a Superbook event that travels to different parts of the Philippines to share the Good News of Christ, was held in Aroroy, Masbate.

The first stop was at Rufo C. Pajes Sr. Central School. Elementary students gathered to watch Superbook and meet Gizmo. Even though it was a hot day, the children and teachers actively joined the singing, dancing, and games. 

They watched the Superbook episode “Doubting Thomas,” where they learned to trust and have faith in Jesus.

The second event took place at the Tico Maristela Sports and Cultural Center, where children from nearby schools and churches attended. They were excited to watch and participate in the activities. One of the attendees, Eliyah (center), shared, “We watch Superbook in school, and it helped me learn more about God… He is good and powerful.”


The children eagerly joined the games, shared the Bible verses they had learned, and even the teachers participated. They also watched the Superbook episode “Doubting Thomas.” Every school and church present had the opportunity to take photos with Gizmo and dance The Salvation Poem with him twice!


The event was organized with the help of Ms. Noemi Salvacion Berces, owner and former principal of Learning Is Fun Children’s Center, one of the participating schools.

She shared, “We use Superbook as part of our curriculum to teach the Word of God to our students. Through the stories, they learn about Him at an early age. And when parents see what their children are learning, we also help connect them to churches near their community.”

Through Superbook, children are learning about God while families are being guided closer to Him.

As written in Book of Proverbs 22:6:

“Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it.”

Together, we can continue planting seeds of faith in the next generation and the generations to come. Partner with us and help reach more children across the Philippines by visiting www.cbnasia.com/give

Send Hope and Relief to Our Typhoon-Affected Kababayans! Here’s How

Nothing – even the pandemic – can stop natural disasters from happening.

That is why nothing – even the pandemic – can stop Operation Blessing Foundation Philippines, CBN Asia’s humanitarian arm, from reaching out to our affected kababayans!

Operation Blessing braved the strong winds, rising floods, and heavy rains brought by Typhoon Fabian to deliver hope and relief to indigenous families in Oriental Mindoro.

One of the beneficiaries is Popoy, a member of the Hanunuo Mangyan Tribe residing in the town of Mansalay.

Like many of our indigenous kababayans, Popoy had a rough past. As a young teen, he was led into joining an opposition group, believing that it would make his life better. Young, confused, and broken, Popoy did not realize the danger ahead of him.

“I thought joining a rebel group would be the best decision because I had nowhere to go, and I had nothing to do. I had a problem with my family, so I decided to join them, even though I was not sure what kind of group it was,” Popoy shared in vernacular.

Due to the rebellious nature of the group, Popoy had witnessed things no 14-year-old should witness. He lived in overwhelming fear until he finally decided to leave the group, in hopes of living a normal, peaceful life. (progressivedentalmn.com)

He confessed, “I felt bad for my wife and my child. I didn’t want to do it anymore. After everything that happened, I saw the way to embrace light and change for the better. I really hoped this was the start of our good life.”

However, Popoy found that starting a “good life” can be extremely difficult, especially in the middle of a pandemic and a calamity at the same time. Thankfully, he was listed as one of the beneficiaries of Operation Blessing’s livelihood assistance!

Through the help of the Armed Forces of the Philippines 4th Infantry Battalion and 203rd Brigade, Mansalay’s local government unit, and our church partner, Popoy and 43 other beneficiaries received much-needed farming tools and livelihood support.

Popoy can now support his family and start anew!

“I am very thankful to Operation Blessing. I have never seen this kind of generosity before. You are true to your word. These tools are necessary for our survival and it’s something that we can cherish for a lifetime,” Popoy ended.

For Our Pandemic-Hit Kababayans, Your Giving is a Blessing!

When an Operation Blessing volunteer handed over food bags to Rosemarie Fajardo last week, she cannot help but become emotional.

Rosemarie and her family are among the tens of thousands of Filipino households who needed immediate relief right after the government declared another Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) in different areas including the province of Rizal. 

The ECQ brings safety for many, but to Rosemarie’s family, it means more days of enduring hunger.

“We struggled a lot since the COVID-19 arrived, especially because my son suffered from a brain tumor and underwent operation when the pandemic first hit the country. His blindness was also an added burden to him,” the mother of 5 recalled. 

Taking care of a child with a medical condition and wondering how to feed her other 4 children, Rosemarie struggled to make ends meet. They slipped deeper into uncertainty, waiting to find the light at the end of the tunnel. 

Through your selfless giving, a ray of hope came through!

With the help of Operation Blessing’s faithful partners like you and the DLL/SAGAD Off-Roaders group, pandemic-hit families in Barangay Canumay, in Antipolo, Rizal received the rice, canned goods, and other food items that would last for a week.

Apart from the material relief they received, the residents were also blessed to hear the comforting, saving love of Jesus through the team. Rosemarie and their whole community received the message that there is hope and light amid any crisis.
