Half Devil Half Child

2013 | Documentary | Semi-Finalist

Western missionaries in Bangladesh are encouraging new believers to go back to the Imams and back to the mosques. Rather than identifying as Christians, they are calling themselves Isai or “Jesus” Muslims. Bibles are being produced that are omitting references to God as Father and to Jesus as Son. It is an idea that turns the gospel upside down, reversing what the Bible means when it calls people to turn to Christ. Half Devil Half Child calls the church in the West to remember who it is in Christ, a new creation that requires a wiser approach to missions and better use of material blessings. Opposed by Muslims and these “insider” Western approaches, faithful men, called from Islam to Christ in His one and only church continue to preach the Gospel, train new leaders, and love their enemies. Hear their desire for the bond of brotherhood born for adversity, knit together in life and death. Hear the deep meaning this has for our lives and the Christian church as we know it.
