The Torchlighters - Heroes of the Faith |
|
|
|
Torchlighters is a new series of animated programs for youth
ages 8-12 presenting the lives of true life heroes from history. When
kids see what God can do through a "Torchlighter" who is devoted to
carrying out His will and purposes, they too will want to carry a
torch of faith by serving Him. |

lose." |

The year was 1956. From the steamy jungles of
Ecuador, news spread around the world that five young American men
were mercilessly killed by members of the Auca tribe (now known as the
Waodani) - a people those young men had gone to serve and befriend.
That seemingly senseless tragedy a half century ago has become an
inspirational marvel as that same tribe is now friends with the
families of those they killed! This is the story of one of those brave
torchlighters - Jim Elliot. |
|
|
|
Jim Elliot spent his youth preparing to share the Gospel with
those who'd never heard it. But nothing could have prepared him for
the dangers and challenges he'd face in the jungles of Ecuador. The
remote Auca tribe was suspicious and antagonistic toward even the most
friendly of gestures from outsiders. Would Jim and his fellow
missionaries ever be able to break down the hostile barriers and carry
a torch of faith to this savage people determined to attack all
outsiders? |
|
|
|
In this inaugural
Torchlighters episode we follow Jim's adventures from his
college years to his work in the jungles, showing young people his
faith in action as he answers God's call to do the seemingly
impossible. |
