It's
been ten years since the Torchlighters videos started releasing. They
are inspiring stories of heroes of the faith. The first one was The
Jim Elliot Story. Now there are thirteen. These animated stories
are great for children aged 8-12. They can be used in the home,
church, school and any other form of children's ministry.
You
can watch a trailer of The John Wesley Story here. It will
give you an idea of the quality and inspiration of the award winning
Torchlighters series.
I
recently watched The Jim Elliot Story. He was one of five young
American men who went to the steamy jungles of Ecuador. He was killed
by a member of the Auca (Woadani) tribe – the very tribe he had
gone to serve. Elliot's is an inspiring story. From his youth he had
wanted to share the gospel with those who had never heard it. After his death, his wife and family members of the other men went back to the Auca and brought them to Christ.
I
also watched The Corrie ten Boom Story. She and her family repaired
broken clocks and watches in Holland. They took in a Jewish baby,
protecting it from the Nazi invaders. But they were imprisoned for
their good deed. Corrie's faith was tested and she showed courage,
sacrifice, and forgiveness. Hers is an inspiring story.
Other
episodes include the stories of Richard Wurmbrand, Eric Liddell,
Samuel Morris, Gladys Aylward, John Bunyan, Amy Carmichael,
Augustine, William Tyndale, Perpetua, and William Booth.
The
Torchlighters series began when creator Bill Curtis was reading
biographies of great Christian heroes to his ten year old daughter.
Realizing how powerful these stories were, he planned the Heroes of
Faith animated series. We know kids are drawn to heroes from the
sports and the entertainment industry. What a wonderful opportunity to
show young people real heroes, heroes of the Christian faith.
The
first twelve episodes have been bundled together. Each of the twelve
discs contains a 30 minute animated story, a four-lesson curriculum
in PDF, a feature length documentary on the hero, and English and
Spanish languages and subtitles.
