Present for the Generation in Sumba, CBN Continues to Build Transformative Holistic Disciple Making Communities
Holistic Disciple Making Ecosystem
Since 2021, CBN Indonesia has been continuously supporting the Sumba Christian Church (GKS) Pahomba in Central Sumba Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, in discipling the younger generation. Through holistic discipleship programs like PAUD Super5, Superbook Sunday School, and the School of Life Learning Center, every child receives discipleship from Monday to Sunday. Additionally, since 2024, parents have also been receiving discipleship guidance through CBN's The Parenting Project.
Beyond that, CBN's ministry continues to create a holistic impact by providing humanitarian support through a nutritious breakfast project and the Garden for School initiative for early childhood children in this community.

Up to now, CBN, together with GKS Pahomba, has discipled:
- 25 children in ECCE Super5
- 35 children in School of Life Learning Center
- 180 children in Superbook Sunday School
Not only that, but every teacher also receives equipping through various regular trainings, from teaching staff at ECCE Super5 to Superbook Sunday School teachers. Through this support, every child can experience personal and holistic transformation—from improved academic abilities and better spiritual growth to increasingly transformed character.
A Testimony of Discipleship Impact in the GKS Pahomba Community
One of the children we serve, Riana (6 years old), a student at TK Super5 Kristen Pahomba, is living proof of the transformative power of holistic disciple making in the GKS Pahomba community. She used to be inseparable from her phone and would get angry if she wasn't allowed to use it. However, changes began to happen when she entered TK Kristen Pahomba. Through lessons from the Super5 curriculum, Riana was taught to say 'may I?' before using or taking things, helping her understand what is permissible and what is not.
At home, Riana's parents, who are also participating in The Parenting Project discipleship, have learned a lot about applying the modules from The Parenting Project to guide Riana. Besides implementing screen time limits and rules about asking for permission, they also strive to be parents that Riana can look up to.
The process wasn't instant, but changes gradually occurred. Now, Riana is accustomed to asking for permission before playing with her phone and adheres to agreed-upon playtimes. Riana shared, 'Now I still like playing on my phone, but only if I'm given permission. When Mom and Dad tell me something, I don't get angry anymore and I often look after my little sibling.'
