Description
At the close of the 19th century, the British branded the Hmar people of northeast India as "the worst headhunters." It was a label well deserved at the time. But in 1910, a single copy of the New Testament Gospel of John came into this village and changed the course of history for the Hmar people. Through that single copy of John's Gospel, Chawnga, the father of Rochunga Pudaite, was introduced to a revolutionary "new life in Christ." He and a few tribesmen "forsook all and followed Christ." Chawnga believed that Rochunga was God's chosen instrument to bring the Scriptures to the entire Hmar tribe in their own language.

This is the story of Rochunga's personal pilgrimage. It is an unforgettable saga of his dedication to a vision and of the Lord's direction in his life. Filmed in India, Hawaii, Scotland and America, this beautiful film will be enjoyed by the entire family.

A powerful story - you will be amazed and inspired........2007-02-05

We have just viewed this movie in 2007 even though it was made two decades ago. It is an amazing story and a powerful testament to the power of the Word and to what can be accomplished by God through those with faith and determination. Trust me, you will want to tell others about this movie. Please do not be put off by the apparent slow pace in the beginning. The story grows and grows and gets better and better.

God demonstrates his great love for us again.......2007-01-12

Among a host of awesome lessons this history teaches us to remember our creator when we are young and strong. Anybody that wants to serve the Lord should be very moved and inspired by this movie.

The intricate and phenomenal ways of God..........2006-12-10

Beyond The Next Mountain is a unique story. "Unique" because it is something that had never happened before in northeast India.

In fact, this story is one that has most likely happened only a few times in all of history, if ever: a barbaric tribe receives news of Jesus through one, young, white man which in turn leads to one of the children in a future generation to learn English, Hebrew and Greek, who in turn creates a written language for his people and translates the Bible into that language, and establishes schools for the people to learn to read and write that language; and then he (with many others) mails out millions of Bibles to people all over the world using telephone books.

When I watched this I thought, "I wonder where this person is right now in the world." It wasn't until I watched it two more times that I finally saw at the end that it gave contact information for his ministry. It was a 45-minute drive from my house in Denver, Colorado! He and many of his family members have been living in Colorado Springs for several years working at his ministry, Bibles For The World.

I very much recommend watching this movie. The acting is superb. And through this film, I believe you too will receive a revelation that God's true ways are astounding and unlimited.

A Bit Slow, but worth seeing to the end........2005-06-12

I have seen this movie twice, and both times was struck with the focus of one who "moves mountains" to reach a goal. Most of us do not know this type of focus. Granted, God touched this individual through the prayers of his father and mother, but his open, pure and sincere heart along with his willingness to do what it takes to reach the goal enabled the God of the Universe to touch his life with the end results of success upon success. Even his willingness to wait to be with his beloved one showed his ultimate trust in his Lord and God.

I had not heard of this man until seeing this movie. It is mind stretching to learn of how many lives have been touched just by one individual. This movie is a must see for anyone wanting encouragment in tackling the impossible.

A dramatic and superbly produced feature film .......2005-02-04

At the close of the 19th century, the occupying forces of the British Empire cited the Hmar people of northeast India as "the worst headhunters". An appellation that was well deserved. But in 1910 a single copy of the New Testament Gospel of John came into the Hmar village and changed the course of history for the Hmar people. Through that one copy of the Gospel of John, Chawnga (the father of Rochnga Pudaite) was introduced to a "new life in Christ" that was to revolutionize his life and the life of his fellow tribesmen as he and some of them "forsook all and followed Christ". Chawnga believed that Rochunga was God's chosen instrument to bring the Scriptures to the entire Hmar tribe in their own language. Beyond The Next Mountain is a full color, 97 minute, DVD production showcasing the story of Rochunga's personal pilgrimage. This true life saga of one man's dedication to a vision and of seeking God's direction for his life was filmed in India, Hawaii, Scotland and America. The DVD format allows viewing in English, Spanish, Korean, or Hindi with or without English subtitles, chapter titles providing easy scene access, and biographical information on Rochunga Pudaite. Also available in a VHS format, Beyond The Next Mountain is a dramatic and superbly produced feature film which is enthusiastically commended to the attention of Christian communities everywhere.
