Meet the creators of Captain America Salvation, the superhero who gets his strength from God!
According to the Charlotte Observer…
A fire rages out of control in a town called Graceville. From within the engulfed building, a voice is heard: “Lord, help me! Please, God!” The cry is from Bella Hope, an orphan who is destined to become a powerful missionary – if she can survive!
Her prospects look grim, as the flames force firefighters to retreat. But then, suddenly, out of the blue, her prayers are answered: A caped superhero with a cross emblazoned on his chest busts his way into the building, scoops up Bella and leaps safely from the burning wreck.
Thus begins the saga of Captain Salvation, the star of a new Christian comic book created by a one-time youth minister who now lives in Harrisburg, northeast of Charlotte.
At the end of the comic book, Captain Salvation urges kids to pray with him “to ACTIVATE your salvation.”
The prayer: “Dear Jesus, thank you for dying for me and rising again. Come into my heart and forgive my sins. I give my life to you from now on. Amen.”
So far, Hawn says, 1,200 kids have recited the prayer. That’s what it’s all about, he says.
“My goal all along has been to inscribe the word of God in children’s hearts.”
