Six-year-old Brigita from Tulang Bawang Barat, Indonesia, struggled with deep fears and shyness that affected her daily life. At her Sunday school at the Way Abung Christ Assembly Church, she consistently refused to lead prayers or worship songs, believing she was too small and lacked the right words. This fear also manifested at home, where she was afraid to ride a bicycle or even go to the local shop alone to speak with the shopkeeper. Her perspective began to change after watching a Superbook animation about David and Goliath, which taught her that God was with her just as He was with David. Over the next few months, Brigita grew in confidence and began volunteering to lead prayers and worship songs at church. Her mother also noticed a significant change at home, where Brigita is now able to interact with shopkeepers and strangers without fear.
