OUR MISSION
We live in a day and age where history is being rewritten and men are confused about their gender. Our children need a real male, role model (not made up by Hollywood) that was handpicked by God Himself. We see stories like that in the Bible with Joseph and Moses, but we also see that in the birthing of the United States with stories like Peter Francisco.
Little Pedro was born on the Portuguese Island of Jesus Christ (it’s called Terceira today) and kidnapped on the Day of Pentecost. He was then dropped off in Virginia – not Brazil or some other country – at that moment in time when there was a fight for freedom.
God raised Peter up to be a 6’6”, 260 lbs. giant, in a day when the average man only stood 5’6”, yet Portuguese are not known for being tall. Francisco’s was wounded 6 times and left for dead twice, but God spared his life and he was there for the final victory in Yorktown, VA.
According to Forbes Magazine, 83% of Americans don’t have a basic understanding of the American Revolution. Travis Bowman and Brian Patrick Wade are on a mission to reverse that statistic by 2026 with a Braveheart-like miniseries that shows the entire Revolutionary War through the eyes of a God-ordained, giant hero.

Now more than ever, our country needs to be reminded that God gave us this great country, and He raised up courageous men who were willing to lay down their lives for our freedom.
Patrick Henry said, “There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us.” Peter Francisco is one of those men!
President Abraham Lincoln said “A nation that does not honor its heroes will not long endure.” Let us not forget heroes like Peter Francisco.
