Voice for Christ
She was just back from the university. With memories of Tiananmen Square still fresh in her mind, she now faced a new kind of revolution. A revolution of the soul.
The Preacher has come to the village, bringing the Bible's life-changing message. As she listens, she is edged closer to an eternal decision. But in this atheistic communist society, the consequences of such a decision can be devastating.
Based on actual events now happening to the suffering house church in China, this thrilling drama will move viewers into a new sense of the power of faith in the face of oppression. Gospel Films 58 minutes.
At the close of the 19th century, the British branded the Hmar people of northeast India as "the worst headhunters." It was a label well deserved at the time.
But in 1910, a single copy of the Gospel of John came into this village and changed the course of history for the Hmar people. The "headhunter to hearthunter" story is one of the most thrilling accounts in missionary annals, and it is a prototype for the ministry of Bibles for the World.
Through that single copy of John's Gospel, Chawnga, the father of Rochunga Pudaite was introduced to a revolutionary "new life in Christ." He and a few tribesmen "forsook all and followed Christ."
Chawnga believed that Rochunga was God's chosen instrument to bring the Scriptures to the entire Hmar tribe in their own language. Beyond the Next Mountain is the story of Rochunga's personal pilgrimage. It is an unforgettable saga of his dedication to a vision and of the Lord's direction in his life.
The original movie, a 1981 Silver Angel Award, was filmed in India, Hawaii, Scotland and America. It is a beautiful and exciting film which the entire family will enjoy.
The fact that "new life in Christ" could belong to the Hmar tribe as well as to the world inspired Rochunga and his wife Mawii to establish Bibles for the World in 1973.

Peace Child is an exceptional film blending ferocious inter-tribal warfare, expert cinematography, and Christian compassion in a dramatic re-creation of a classic missions success story. 30 minutes (This film contains some brief nudity in the native fashion.)
