Christian Heroes Can Help Strengthen Your Child's Faith

Pastor Andrew and Norine Brunson say Christian heroes can help strengthen your child's faith. The couple were missionaries in Turkey for 25 years but were arrested and put in prison in 2016. Norine was released after nearly two weeks, but Pastor Andrew was kept in prison for more than a year.

He says thinking about Christian heroes like Richard Wurmbrand and how they held firm to their faith in Christ helped him keep his eyes on Jesus while in prison. Books about other Christian heroes and martyrs that his parents had given him to read when he was a child also helped.

Pastor Andrew and Norine encourage parents to share books and stories about heroes who kept the faith during hard times because they say that could help your child someday, the way those stories helped him.
