Missions In India ,
Film at Baptist Church
In addition to the regular serv
ice at the Bible Baptist Church
this Sunday night, will be the
showing of the film, “Davidas,” a
missionary film telling the true
story of a man named Davidas and
his wife and their turbulent life
amidst the Indian shrines and
beliefs. The film shows how the
true Christian love of a leprosy
home and hospital in Kothara,
India, drew them to Christ.
While this film is not a drama
tization, it is still interesting. The
suspense of the narration and
action of the true story, make it
a film most revealing and true to
life of the people of India todap.
The story is filmed in color in
the midst of the original settings
and with the actual Indian people
with whom the story is concerned.
The service will begin at 7:00
sharp, and the public is invited.
