Amy, Catherine, and Charles Fay can't wait for their Uncle Henry to arrive for Christmas. This is the first year since Mama passed away and the children are working together to fill the void and put together a Christmas play at their church. There are challenges along the way, from a runaway lamb to the stern lady who plays the church organ, but with the help of Uncle Henry's new song, 'We Three Kings,' not only is the Christmas pageant a success, but the children learn truths about Jesus and the gifts that were given to Him by the Magi.
Breaking the Silence is a documentary series that presents a respectfully honest view of the origins and legacy of the Amish and how they became who they are today. Featuring the story of Lester and Rebecca Graber's salvation, excommunication, and exit from the Amish church, this film traces the Graber family and the Amish church back to the Reformation Era. The documentary includes interviews with people who have left the Amish as well as church leaders and historians from Switzerland. One of the primary messages that the film presents is the power of God's Word in the lives of those who read it. The film's director says, "This film is part of my personal journey into what my Amish heritage really means."
