I saw this over at Challies, and love this kind of feature. It’s the story of Richard Wurmbrand, and is the latest in the Torchlighters Heroes of the Faith series (perfect for ages 8-12).
Torchlighters are action-packed, award-winning animated videos, featuring real-life faith heroes that kids can depend on. Each DVD features a full-length documentary; complete, reproducible study materials; English and Spanish tracks, and more.
Richard Wurmbrand spent 14 years in Communist imprisonment in his homeland of Romania, suffering horrific torture for his Christian faith. Wurmbrand later became the founder of the The Voice of the Martyrs. He tells his shocking story in his book Tortured for Christ. This DVD from Torchlighters also includes a one-hour documentary that Challies liked even better than the animated feature.
His wife Sabina also has an amazing story, told in her autobiography, The Pastor’s Wife.
Ah – one of my favorite ministries – especially their kids of courage (KOF) stuff!
I also love the torchlighters DVDs – well done bios for kids on very important people to leasrn about, like Wurmbrand.
I found a children’s biography about him titled ‘A Voice in the Dark’ by Catherine Mackenzie through Paperback Swap. I haven’t read it yet but am looking farward to sharing his story with my kiddos – I see that we will have to follow up with the torchlighter movie! ( :
I am really looking forward to your features this month BTW!

I’m excited about your features for the month of March. We get to experience Jennifer-the-teacher at work… awesome!
Sounds like something all kids should be exposed too-maybe us adults too!
Mandi, that children’s biography sounds wonderful, let me know what you think. I hope to get this video soon. And yes, it’s an amazing ministry.
e-Mom, thank you for your constant encouragement!
Tipper, yes, kids and adults alike, I agree. :-)
I loved that video! What a perfect film for Lent!
I have read about Mr Wurmbrand and greatly admire his strength.
Blessings,
Lacy
