Vision Video The Torchlighters Series: The Gladys Aylward Story, DVD

With war raging about her and soldiers closing in, the wounded missionary Gladys Aylward sets 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 concerns this little woman with big faith. It's the safety and well being of the 100 orphaned children in her care. Watch as Gladys' strength and faith are stretched to the limit, all for the sake of the children.

Torchlighters is a series of animated programs for youth ages 8-12, presenting the lives of true-life heroes from Christian history. When kids 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. Approx. 30 minutes.

Special Features:
  • English and Spanish languages with optional English subtitles
  • Original documentary featuring biographer Carol Purves and Gladys' adopted son Clifford Liu
  • Comprehensive leader's guide with lesson plans, background information, and more
  • Reproducible student handouts, including discussion questions, puzzles, coloring pages, and more

The animation is wonderful; the story is also wonderful & faithful to actual events. I showed this to a group of children: age 3 thru grade 5 and it held everyone's interest. Bonus features contain an hour-long documentary on Gladys complete with photos, sketches, narration, and audio of Gladys herself. (I believe it is "Gladys Aylward: The Small Woman with a Great God" verbatim.) I only wished I had known that since I also purchased that DVD when I got this Torchlighter one.

This is an awesome cartoon video of the missionary life of Gladys Aylward. Sticks very close to the true story. I loved the extra bonus of the biography of her life. Refreshing to have "good" cartoons to show my kids.
