Survivors: God Cares for You

Survivors helps children find comfort in the midst of trauma, uncertainty, and anxiety.

Being involved in a serious accident, a violent conflict, a natural disaster, or abuse in the home can be overwhelming for children. Such experiences can damage their sense of security and leave them feeling helpless and vulnerable. But the love of Jesus can help them overcome even the darkest experience.

Stories of Hope

We cannot dismiss the trauma or hard life experiences that many children experience. But we can help them express their emotions in a healthy way and allow them to grieve their losses. We can give them practical strategies to cope with what is happening and assure them: They matter, and their feelings are normal. Through stories and Scripture engagement, children can experience an increased sense of God’s presence and find peace.

Survivors: For kids in tough places

Survivors is a crisis response resource to help children work through the immediate effects of a traumatic experience or repeated, ongoing trauma. Survivors follows the journey of a character called TREE who faces a traumatic event. Each session is designed to be led by a trained facilitator and helps children process their own experiences. This helps children develop emotional literacy and teaches them self-calming techniques. Survivors also encourages children to know that they were created by a God who loves them and cares for them.

What Our Partners Are Saying

“During our Bible study classes, we read Survivors and discussed it together. Most of the kids were not Christians, so the accessible text with simple illustrations helped us to have meaningful conversations. We talked about their fears, and we prayed together.”

Survivors is part of a suite of Adversity, Crisis and Trauma resources published by Biblica.

Not a day goes past without news of war, famine, earthquakes, floods, or other disasters. Globally over a billion people are living in conflict zones with more than 120 million people forcibly displaced by persecution, conflict, violence, or human rights violations.

Biblica wants everyone affected by trauma to know that God cares for them, loves them, and is present with them in their suffering. Through our Adversity, Crisis, and Trauma resources, we aim to support the emotional and spiritual needs of survivors. Reaching survivors with the Gospel of Christ is not as simple as sharing the message of salvation. Often the wounds of fresh and past hurts block a person’s ability to hear truth and receive love and kindness. Adversity, Crisis, and Trauma healing resources can meet survivors in their place of loss and pain, offering to journey with them toward hope and wholeness.
