“God helped Noah, He will help my family”

Yana is a 12-year-old girl from Ukraine. She lives with her father and two sisters in a rural village, where life hasn’t been easy. The tragedy of losing her mother has deeply marked their family. At home, there are often arguments, and alcohol only adds to the pain. Yana longs for understanding — but among her peers, she often feels like an outsider, struggling to find friends and a sense of belonging.

On top of all this, she lives in a constant state of uncertainty. Like so many Ukrainian children, Yana doesn’t know when or where the next rocket or drone attack might strike. War is not a distant word — it is the atmosphere in which she is growing up.

But something changed when Yana was invited to attend a Superbook camp.

A Story That Brought Light

During the camp, the children explored stories from the Bible brought to life through vibrant animation, fun activities, and heartfelt conversations. One story especially touched Yana’s heart — the story of Noah.

She was struck by how Noah obeyed God even when everyone laughed at him and misunderstood him. That message gave her courage.
“If Noah was able to build the ark despite the laughter and misunderstanding, then I too can achieve my goals if I believe,” Yana shared.
Through this story, Yana began to see her own value — and that being different is not something to fear. She started noticing the good around her and discovered how even small acts, like helping her father or encouraging her sister, could bring warmth and change.

“I believe that just as God helped Noah, He will help my family. And I will find more friends,” she said with hope in her eyes.
Yana’s story is a beautiful testimony of how Superbook isn’t just about telling Bible stories — it’s about changing lives.
