Called by God to deliver Israel from Midianite oppression, Gideon leads a small, unlikely band of warriors to a stunning victory through divine strategy.

In a time when the Midianites oppressed Israel, Gideon was called by God despite his own doubts and lowly status. Through a series of miraculous signs and careful instructions, God reduced Gideon’s army to a mere handful of soldiers.
Under this lean force, they launched a surprise attack on the Midianite camp at night. The enemy was thrown into chaos, and the Israelites triumphed, demonstrating that with God, even the smallest number can achieve a great victory.
