The missionary stories are cleverly woven into the daily regular happenings of the Brinkman family and brought about in a way that carries you right to the scene.
In the first episode, God’s Mule, a missionary’s story, Thomas Gomez, is being transcribed for a blog. As the transcription is being read we are transported to the setting. The background and setting noises are perfect. Close your eyes and use your imagination to set the scene. Thomas Gomez wants to do something different with his life than his father planned for him. As Christians we must sometimes do very hard things. He goes on bring Bibles to a country where that could send him to jail. He is also led by God to be just where He wants him to be.
Later on the Brinkmans travel to Ecuador and tour with the Auca/Waodoni people. There is some witnessing going on and it’s a memorable trip for all.
These are just a few of the exciting stories in this series.
As one who has lived and traveled in countries where there is not as much “light” you come to find that God can work in amazing ways among much darkness. Miracles are alive and well today.
When it comes to the Brinkman Adventures we find many opportunities to kickback and listen. Usually my daughter and I will listen while crafting or cooking in the kitchen. I find that I tend to lose track of what I’m doing and really get into the stories so it helps to being doing something automatic and mundane. My husband has to be totally doing nothing but listening because that’s how he is about his Faith stuff.
I just love these audio stories. I grew up on missionary stories. Brother Andrew, Nate Saint, and many more were names heard in stories at my mother’s knee. It’s lovely to be able to pass on the tradition to my own daughter and to hear many more stories from present day missionaries.
Listening to the Brinkman Adventures also never fails to inspire my daughter. She now wants to be a missionary too.
In this day of awful news and so much technology grabbing our children’s attention it’s wonderful to have something entertaining based on truth and using the imagination.
