Harriet Tubman (DVD)
$9.99A great leader of her time, Harriet Tubman, teaches kids about courage, sacrifice and compassion.
Imagine living a life of hard work, no education and occasional harsh punishment and you can envision slavery in the 1800s. Harriet Tubman, like most slaves, was born and raised into slavery and longed to escape the South.
Harriet was a great leader of her time, determined to advance to freedom or to die in the effort. She freed over 300 slaves between 1849-1860 and never lost one. Like Moses, she overcame tremendous obstacles to set a person free.
Harriet, although illiterate, began giving lectures calling for the abolition of slavery and a redefinition of womans rights. In 1861, when the Civil War began she served as a nurse, spy and scout for the Union army. Harriet was invaluable in all services she rendered.
The pride, heritage and accomplishment of our African-American community today were built on the foundations established by courageous pioneers such as Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglas, Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr. Harriet Tubman was, and is, an inspiration to us all.

Jim Elliot Story (DVD)
$14.99Geared for children ages 8-12, this stunning, half-hour, action-packed program uses top quality animation to bring to life the story of missionary martyr Jim Elliot.
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.
