Adventures of the Apostle Paul | For Children | Episode 2 | Imprisoned at Philippi | Hanno Herzler

The second episode, “Imprisoned at Philippi”, brings alive the stories found in chapter 16 of Acts. Children will learn about Paul and Silas’s journey to Philippi, where they are beaten and imprisoned for casting out a fortune-telling spirit from a female slave.

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.
