The intricate and phenomenal ways of God..., December 9, 2006
Beyond The Next Mountain is a unique story. Unique because it is something that had never happened before in northeast India. In fact, this story is one that most likely has happened only one or two times in history. A barbaric tribe in India receives news of Jesus through one young white man from England, which in turn leads a tribal boy in a future generation to learn English, Hebrew and Greek, who in turn creates a written language for his people, then translates the Bible into that language. He goes on to establish schools for his people to learn both to read and write the language he created. And later, with the help of many others, he mails millions of Bibles to people all over the world using addresses listed in telephone books. When I watched this movie I thought, "I wonder where this person is right now in the world." It wasn't until I watched it two more times that I finally saw at the end that it gave contact information for his ministry office. It was a 45-minute drive from my house in Denver, Colorado! He and many of his family members have been living in Colorado Springs for several years working at his ministry, Bibles For The World. I very much recommend watching this. The acting is superb. And through this film, I believe you too will receive a revelation that God's true ways are astounding and unlimited.

A dramatic and superbly produced feature film, February 4, 2005
At the close of the 19th century, the occupying forces of the British Empire cited the Hmar people of northeast India as "the worst headhunters". An appellation that was well deserved. But in 1910 a single copy of the New Testament Gospel of John came into the Hmar village and changed the course of history for the Hmar people. Through that one copy of the Gospel of John, Chawnga (the father of Rochnga Pudaite) was introduced to a "new life in Christ" that was to revolutionize his life and the life of his fellow tribesmen as he and some of them "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 a full color, 97 minute, DVD production showcasing the story of Rochunga's personal pilgrimage. This true life saga of one man's dedication to a vision and of seeking God's direction for his life was filmed in India, Hawaii, Scotland and America. The DVD format allows viewing in English, Spanish, Korean, or Hindi with or without English subtitles, chapter titles providing easy scene access, and biographical information on Rochunga Pudaite. Also available in a VHS format, Beyond The Next Mountain is a dramatic and superbly produced feature film which is enthusiastically commended to the attention of Christian communities everywhere.

A Bit Slow, but worth seeing to the end., June 12, 2005
I have seen this movie twice, and both times was struck with the focus of one who "moves mountains" to reach a goal. Most of us do not know this type of focus. Granted, God touched this individual through the prayers of his father and mother, but his open, pure and sincere heart along with his willingness to do what it takes to reach the goal enabled the God of the Universe to touch his life with the end results of success upon success. Even his willingness to wait to be with his beloved one showed his ultimate trust in his Lord and God. I had not heard of this man until seeing this movie. It is mind stretching to learn of how many lives have been touched just by one individual. This movie is a must see for anyone wanting encouragment in tackling the impossible.
