Maria Prean The amazing story of missionary Maria Prean is told in this award-winning documentary by Janina Huettenrauch. Maria was 60 years old when she decided to start a new life. She moved from Austria to Uganda, a country with more than two million orphans. Seeing the great need, she began caring for these children and building schools and orphanages. Despite great challenges, her strong faith and conviction helped her to change the lives of thousands of young Ugandans. To build a bridge between Africa and the Western World, she started a children's choir at one of her schools. She and 15 children toured Europe for three months, touching the lives of many people they met along the way. This is an encouraging and very personal film about a woman who dreamed the impossible, then trusted God to do everything necessary to see it become reality. Some segments in German with English subh1. Tomorrow Comes In the early 1950s Presbyterian missionaries John and Madge Wood accepted the call to Ometepec, Mexico. Along with their young sons, they served the people faithfully and selflessly. Tragically, their time was cut short when John and Madge�s plane crashed in the remote mountains. They left behind five young boys, ages four to fourteen. Fifty years later, those sons and their families held a reunion in the family homestead to celebrate the rich legacy of their parents. This film is the unforgettable story of their reunion as they not only play and laugh together, but also discover how deeply their parents' love impacted their community and their own family for generations to come. This captivating program will encourage you as you witness the opulent inheritance of faith across time. Optional English and Spanish subh1.
