Cissie Graham Lynch, Franklin Graham's daughter, has just begun an internship with a branch of Samaritan's Purse, Children's Heart Project. Hundreds of children in Mongolia are awaiting medical help and will die without it. In this film, three children are chosen to receive the surgeries they so desperately need and travel to the United States where they are welcomed into homes and receive the gift of life. Along with their medical needs, they each have a need for a Savior, having been raised Buddhist. In some ways, their lives are saved in several ways, both medically and spiritually as the Gospel is shared with them repeatedly during their seven week stay in the states.
I must admit that, when this film first started, I was a bit disappointed. My family looks forward to weekend movies together and this was our Saturday night choice. However, that disappointment didn't last long at all. Just like the children and their mothers wove their lives together with their host families, I felt drawn in and became part of their lives. I could feel their mother's pain as they watched their children being wheeled into surgery, knowing the risks involved and that they may never see their child alive again. I could feel the joy when one of them prayed to receive Christ as if it were someone I had known for years. It was a wonderful reminder of the preciousness of live, the awesome privilege I have of growing up in a country that is Godly, and the need to reach out to those who doing have at their disposal the wealth of advantages I have living in the United. States. This film left me thankful and wanting to do more to save these children all over the world who need both physical and spiritual healing.
I receive this DVD free from the publisher and was not in any way obligated to share a positive review.
