Heroes of the Faith – Part 2
What if learning history could actually increase your faith in Jesus and give you a desire to serve Him more wholeheartedly? In this class, we will be learning the real-life stories of many of the Christian Heroes of our faith, such as Jesus, Augustine, Harriett Tubman, Martin Luther, John Wesley, and many more. New for Heroes of the Faith Part 2, there will be live missionaries who will share about their life as a missionary! We will be both encouraged and challenged by these real-life heroes’ courage, their devotion, and their sacrifice for the advancement of the Kingdom of God. For eight of the twelve-week semester, we will watch and discuss one of the “Torchlighters: Heroes of Our Faith” films. These animated films truly stir the heart and activate the faith of anyone who watches them as they depict the lives of ordinary people who forever changed the world through their faith and obedience to the call of God on their lives. Four of the co-op weeks there will be special guest missionaries who share with the class about their life and impact as missionaries.

Have you ever wished you could pick up a pencil, and draw anything you see or imagine? Now your dream can become a reality. With this fun and fast curriculum, you can quickly and easily unlock the basic drawing abilities you never knew you had and transform your creativity. We will begin with the ‘Getting Started’ series of lessons and advance as a class to other series like Animals and Comics, Fantasy, Cartoons, or Buildings and Lettering.
It may be helpful to have the basic knowledge of drawing a sphere, cube, pyramid, cone, and cylinder. Students could practice these shapes now if they want to (youtube); otherwise, it will be covered in class.
