The Birth of Moses
The Birth of Moses
Just as Joy is heading out to the waterpark, she learns that her parents are helping at the community outreach drive today. As Joy grapples with what to do, Superbook appears and whisks the kids back to ancient Egypt. The kids meet Miriam who is helping her family hide her baby brother from the Egyptians. Pharaoh has decreed that all Hebrew baby boys be thrown into the Nile River! When the family can no longer hide the baby, he is placed in a basket and sent down the Nile River. Pharaoh’s daughter discovers him and decides to adopt Miriam’s baby brother as her son and names him Moses. After returning home Joy realizes that God had a plan for Moses and maybe for her too! She decides to seek God to reveal that plan and chooses to help out at the community drive by beginning a more mission-driven focus.
