The world is filled with children looking for something to believe in, and someone to follow along the way. Today’s children often turn to popular figures in sports, music, film and television for role models. Children fashion their wardrobe, speech and behavior after pop-culture icons. Many of the public figures display one exceptional quality or another that attracts children’s attention and inspires their imagination, but few could be classified as a hero.

In the mid 90’s a hero emerged to offer hope and direction. His name is Bibleman. Unlike many of today’s would-be heroes, Bibleman does not seek to glorify himself, but to inspire children to follow the Lord Jesus Christ. Although Bibleman is a “superhero” character, the main thrust of Bibleman is always and will always be evangelical. In all Bibleman videos, books, and live events throughout around the world, the message is to encourage kids to form a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Bibleman has become a widely acclaimed video series and the most popular live-action stage show on the children's ministry circuit.

In 2003, Children’s Pastor Robert T Schlipp, of Northern California, was chosen to carry on the legacy of Bibleman.

In 2004, Robert T and his wife, Anayansi Schlipp, performed on the main stage at a Billy Graham Crusade, Franklin Graham Festival and churches across the United States. Robert T also donned the role of Bibleman in two DVD releases. “It is an honor to put on the ‘Full Armor of God’ as Bibleman,” Robert T said. “We saw thousands of children make commitments to Jesus Christ on our first year on tour,” he said.

In 2005, the Bibleman road tour was joined by Heather McSmith in the role of Biblegirl. McSmith, who’s played Biblegirl in five Bibleman episodes, was accompanied by her husband, Kevin McSmith, in the role of the villain. The Bible Adventure Team was given the entire Saturday morning service at the historic Greater New York Billy Graham Crusade, which has been called Billy Graham’s last North American crusade. The impact of Bibleman attracted international media attention. In December of 2005, the Bibleman brand was acquired by the children’s division of Thomas Nelson Inc. The 2005 Live Tour is available on DVD.

In 2006, a new era for Bibleman began with the production of the first episodes of the Bibleman Powersource series, and the publication of the Bibleman Biblezine. Bibleman Live continued to share the gospel in select cities in 2006, with thousands more accepting Christ.

In 2007, Thunder Media Ministries launched a variety of Bibleman events to meet increasing demands and supplement the full scale road tour production. “We must constantly ask ourselves how we can share the gospel with more people in more places. We have begun to adapt our ministry events to fit the opportunities God has provided, and we continue to see people choose to follow Jesus Christ at every event,” Robert T said.

In 2008, years of prayer were answered as Bibleman performed outside the contiguous United States for the first time. Ministry events in Germany, Canada, Alaska, and the Virgin Islands have opened the door to reaching children and families around the world. Today, Bibleman appears live at large scale road tour events, small scale fly-date events, Christian festivals, video premieres, personal appearances and in-stores.

Part good, clean fun — part life-giving truth, the Bibleman videos and live events incorporate special effects, high-energy music, battle choreography, larger-than-life characters, and scripts that appeal to the whole family. More important than the high-tech light shows, flashy costumes, and stage illusions that catch children's attention, however, is the unmistakable message of hope and spiritual truth that captures kids' hearts. Bibleman is dedicated to reaching today’s children an exciting presentation of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
