Faith Heroes for Kids

Follow the adventures of the Torchlighters Heroes of the Faith and see how God works through those who dedicate their lives to serving him.

William Carey

A minister from England, William Carey leaves everything behind to share the good news in India. In a place so hostile to Christ and his messengers, will someone finally believe?

Richard Allen

After becoming a Christian and buying his freedom from slavery, the founder of the African Methodist Episcopal Church faithfully served God in the face of discrimination.

John Newton

Once a slave trader, John Newton became a respected pastor after a dramatic conversion and went on to write beloved hymns and sermons that would change the world.

Mary Slessor

The Scottish missionary travels deep into the Nigerian jungle with medicine, education and the Gospel. Can Mary Slessor bring lasting peace to those who’ve turned to violence?

St. Patrick

Far from home and at the mercy of the pirates who kidnapped him, young Patrick is tending sheep and fighting off wild animals — until he calls out to the God of his youth.

George Müller

George Müller lives on radical prayer, depending on God to supply all his needs without asking for a cent from anyone—not even the congregation he pastors!

Harriet Tubman

Young Harriet prayed ceaselessly that she and her family would be set free from the oppression of slavery. Little did she know, God would use her in mighty ways to free them.

Adoniram and Ann Judson

Missionaries Adoniram and Ann Judson work tirelessly to bring the Gospel to the Buddhist nation of Burma, but political unrest threatens to undo everything. Will God’s Word survive?

Martin Luther

Luther didn’t mean to spark the Reformation with his 95 Theses, but his realization that salvation comes through faith and not works ignited the revolution that changed the world.

Robert Jermain Thomas

Robert Jermain Thomas finds a new mission when he gives Bibles to Korean fishermen. He’ll stop at nothing to bring the Gospel to the hungry seekers of “the Hermit Kingdom.”

John Wesley

After years of living in darkness, John Wesley embraced saving grace through face. But, his message was not welcome in churches. Will he risk his life to bring the word to the needy?

Corrie Ten Boom

As the evil of World War II swept through the Ten Boom’s city, an innocent Jewish baby came under their care. How will they hide this baby and others from the Nazi invaders?

Augustine

Running from Christianity all his life, a young and worldly teacher of rhetoric must wrestle with God’s truth when he becomes the “voice of the empire.”

Samuel Morris

Young prince Kaboo escaped from the enemy in a marvelous way — a blinding light appeared, urging him to run safety in the jungle where he stumbles onto a mission.

William Booth

William Booth and his followers faced great opposition when bringing the gospel to London’s East End. Will they win the battle against the local pub owners and thugs?

Amy Carmichael

Will Amy Carmichael’s faithful determination be enough to free children from the powerful customs and superstitions that keep them hostage?

Perpetua

Perpetua, an affluent young mother, is charged with converting to Christianity and is sent to prison without her baby. Will the wild beast shake her faith?

Richard Wurmbrand

Instead of giving allegiance to the communists, Romanian pastor Richard Wurmbrand suffered for the Gospel.

Gladys Aylward

Watch as Torchlighter Gladys Aylward’s strength and faith are stretched to the limit in World War II China as she seeks the safety of the 100 orphans in her care.

Eric Liddell

See how this Torchlighter’s famous stand during the 1924 Olympics prepared him for even greater challenges as a missionary to China during World War II.

John Bunyan

Imprisoned for defying the state religion, John Bunyan refused to stop his preaching. Even while separated from his family, he chooses his faith over release from his cold cell.

William Tyndale

William Tyndale tops King Henry VIII’s “Most Wanted” list in 1535 and is being pursued across Europe by the king’s bounty hunters — for translating the Bible into English.

Jim Elliot

Missionary Jim Elliot risks all for the Gospel in Ecuador’s jungles. Facing hostility from the Waodoni tribe, he strives to carry a torch of faith to the unreached.
