Americans: Trailblazers Box Set

Throughout history, the United States has produced remarkable individuals who have influenced and shaped the world in countless ways. This is equally true within the realm of Christianity. The following five individuals left an enduring mark not only on America but across the globe.

You Will Meet…

Jim Elliot –  Driven by a deep passion to reach the Auca Indians of Ecuador—an isolated tribe known at the time for their hostility toward outsiders—a small missionary team began their outreach through small gestures of friendship and gifts. Tragically, their mission ended in martyrdom. Yet, what unfolded afterward became one of the most inspiring stories of faith and forgiveness in modern Christian history. Discover the story of his unwavering love for a fighting people and his devotion to a loving God.

Elisabeth Elliot – From the jungles of Ecuador to the airwaves and lecture halls of the modern world, Elisabeth’s life and ministry made her a powerful example of godly womanhood and faith in action.  A gifted author and speaker, she helped shape the remarkable legacy that emerged from tragedy—one that continues to influence lives around the world today.

Betty Greene –  Next, we encounter a pioneering aviator who, inspired by early flight pioneers, became a pilot during World War II. She served alongside countless unsung heroines, ferrying aircraft and supplies across the country to support the war effort. Later, her passion for aviation and mission work would lead to the founding of Missionary Aviation Fellowship—an organization that continues to transform lives globally. 

D. L. Moody – Among history’s great evangelists stands a man whose name still graces Christian institutions around the world. His dynamic preaching, innovation, and zeal for the Gospel made him one of the most influential spiritual leaders of his era.

Lottie Moon – Once a spirited and mischievous student, Lottie dedicated her life to bringing the message of Christ to the people of China. Her passion for missions continues through the annual Lottie Moon Offering, which has funded mission work for over a century.  Her lifelong dedication to missionary work inspired an annual offering that bears her name—an offering that has raised over 1.5 billion dollars for missions to date.

Together, these five Americans exemplify how faith, courage, and conviction can shape both history and eternity.
