Villagers Enjoy an Evening of Films

Some of the villagers would learn lessons of historical importance—and some of their lives would never be the same.

Once the equipment was set up, Deepak waited, wondering how many people would come. Before the night’s end, the hopeful man was pleasantly surprised to see 260 faces in the crowd.

Lives Changed

They commented, “Today we learned some lessons that we never learned before in our life.” Despite many of them practicing other religions, they recognized that “following Jesus is the path of righteousness.”
