With war raging about her and soldiers closing in, the wounded missionary Gladys Aylward (as portrayed in the movie, The Inn of the Sixth Happiness), set out on the most difficult journey of her life - a 100-mile trek over the mountains to a safe haven. But, it's not her own safety that concerned this little woman with big faith. It was the safety and well being of the 100 orphaned children in her care. As we watched, Gladys' strength and faith was stretched to the limit, all for the sake of those little children.
This particular movie was from the Torchlighters DVD Series, which are stuffed full of animated programs for youth ages 6-12 and present the lives of true-life heroes from Christian history. When children see what God can do through a "Torchlighter" who is devoted to carrying out His will and purposes, they too may want to carry a torch of faith by serving Him. (For more information on the series, go to torchlighters.org)
Following the movie, we were all treated to Popcorn and Punch. Thanks, Mr. Greg for taking over and giving of your time... You're one of a kind!!!
