440Adventures of the Apostle Paul | For Children | Episode 1 | Struck Blind | Hanno Herzler
In the first episode "Struck Blind", chapters 7 through 9 of Acts come to life as Paul tells of his life as Saul, before his encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus, as well as his conversion afterward. Stories in these three chapters--of Stephen's stoning, of Saul's persecution of Christians, of Saul's blindness after his encounter with Jesus, and of his ultimate conversion when Ananais heals his blindness--are brought to life for children.
This engaging, animated program introduces children ages eight and above to the incredible life and work of the Apostle Paul. Take a look back about 1,960 years and accompany the Apostle Paul on his travels. For him and his friends, events are often life-threatening in Damascus, Philippi, on the Mediterranean Sea and on the island of Malta. Yet even in these dangerous situations, Paul knows that God will never leave him. To understand how the early church survived, spread, and grew after the ascension of Jesus, it is necessary to become familiar with the life and ministry of the Apostle Paul. Here is a superb way to introduce children to the early church, the spread of the Gospel after the time of Jesus on this earth, and the crucial role played by Paul as the greatest missionary who ever lived.
