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.

The Jim Elliot Story (Torchlighters Heroes Of The Faith Series)$14.99
As a teenager many years,ago, I read Elisabeth Elliott's book and knew about her husband Jim but it wasnt until I watched this dvd that the sacrifice Jim and his friends made truly left a mark on me. I was in tears when I watched their final moments as they paid the ultimate price for the Gospel- their life. What a great inspiring testimony for our children. It certainly spoke to me.

Willing to give all with enthusiam
I had never heard of Jim Elliot before and knew nothing about him and while watching this DVD with my 8 year old son I learnt so much and was greatly inspired. \\r\\n\\r\\nThe sacrifice of these men and their families so that this group of people could know the love of God is so empowering. His sacrifice paved the way for the love of God to reach these people that no one else would go to. He risked all and gave all. \\r\\n\\r\\nThis DVD is great for children aged 8-12 and even younger and would be great for use at home or in a School or Sunday School. I use it as a part of my sons home schooling and Christian education. \\r\\n

Great for Kid's Groups
This series is a great way of introducing kids to Christian martyrs who have given everything to live for Jesus. I've used these DVD's in our Kid's Church program on occasion and the children have been amazed and greatly encouraged.

Educational viewing
This story has been special to me since I first heard it. Jim Elliot was prepared to give his life to win others. We see how the passion for mission burns in him to him going to the jungle and meeting the people who would later kill him. Its a story of courage and obedience. I love the way its been done and I am sure the target audience and many older would learn lots from it. \\r\\n\\r\\n
