(See the online media page to watch this film online.) God's Story (see website) is an 80-minute presentation about the Bible from creation to eternity covering the main stories of the Bible. The Hope is a groundbreaking film incorporating a number of high-quality film productions over the years that deal with epic biblical stories. It is a chronological approach to teaching the Bible. Produced by Mars Hill out of Texas, USA but translated locally in Malawi. The Story of Muhamed, originally produced in a Nigerian dialect with English subtitles, is the 40-minute presentation of a Nigerian Muslim who began to have dreams and visions of a spiritual teacher dressed in white. His quest to understand this person led him to become a follower of Jesus. That choice caused his family to disown him and Muhamed found himself at a very difficult place in life. Translated in Malawi. For more information, see MoreThanDreams.com [return to home page]
