30 years after Ceylon won its independence from Great Britain, Ken Anderson Films produced ELEPHANT BOY. Since then, ELEPHANT BOY has traveled the world, capturing the hearts of children and adults wherever it’s been presented.

Once InterComm had been initiated and Language Recording Projects began to be scheduled in key countries and languages around the world, we saw ELEPHANT BOY selected by Committees in Myanmar, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Pakistan.

With each new recording, it was as though God whispered in the back of our ears, "Someday Sri Lanka".

With that bit of history, we are excited to report that a Committee eagerly gathered in Colombo, Sri Lanka’s capital city, with Lane and Jill Anderson to discuss a potential Project in the Sinhala Language. They were not, however, prepared for the depth of commitment these enthusiastic participants exhibited. To a member they had decided in advance a Project would most definitely go forward.

As a matter of fact, following Sunday worship, Evangelist Priyantha Senapatiratne urged Lane to look at the folder on the front seat of his van. Inside was the script for JOURNEY TO THE SKY, completely translated into the Sinhala Language 3 years previous. He shared that he had been praying that one day God would make it possible for that powerful story of India’s most famous Christian, and other Christian films, to be recorded into their Language. God was allowing us to answer that prayer right on the spot.

85 YEAR OLD FORMER BUDDHIST MONK

God’s grace is an awesome reality for eternity in the life of U Nandi Ya. Even though it took 85 years before the Gospel was clearly presented so that he might see, hear, and receive. Won’t it be exciting to embrace this man of God when we get to Heaven.

HEARTBEAT

(Part 3 of a series)

The Dalai Lama, the world’s foremost Buddhist leader, finally departed Beijing to a fanfare of phony protocol. Upon return to Lhasa he rarely appeared in public. As a rule, Tibetans stayed out of sight, leaving the streets empty, except for occupying troops.

Official telegrams sallied back and forth between Lhasa and Beijing. European and Asian journalists waited for some kind of story to break. Finally the enemy soldiers tightened their grip on Lhasa, keeping a special watch on his residence. Dressed in peasant garb, the Dalai Lama exited his palace and walked past dozens of soldiers. Walking out of Lhasa onto a country road, leading upward out of the valley, he reached a waiting motor car.

The next morning, their patience exhausted, troops stormed the Potala, searching every room, but finding no sign of the escaped leader. He crossed the Himalayan range without incident and reached Dharmsala, which has been his headquarters ever since. Large numbers of Tibetans also followed their leader to northern India.

A British missionary, Dr. Geoffrey Lehman, had built a hospital years before in the same location. An eye doctor, he was burdened to raise the banner for missions. Together we produced the film, TASHI FROM TIBET, the story of a young man, fleeing Tibet, with his family. After his eyes were damaged by an enemy aerial attack, Tashi was brought to the doctor’s care. Not only was his sight restored, but he heard the Good News of Jesus Christ for the first time. In seeking the Light of Truth, Tashi had followed the Buddhist religion, but this could only lead to eternal darkness. God’s Truth finally emerged in his life.
