A Difficult Movie To Watch.....

Preview of Movie Below

Today I watched a movie with my daughters... It was probably the most difficult movie I have ever watched... it was called 'The Stoning of Soraya M".... It was based on the true story of an Iranian woman whose husband wanted another woman... a child bride really.. He was a vile man who decided that he wanted his current wife dead so he would not have to support her and could marry another... He tried to convince the village where they lived that his wife was unfaithful.... The village knew better but they chose to act on the husband's accusations.. In Iran - adultery is punishable by death....

This wife.... mother.... friend... niece was stoned to death... Her name was Soraya M... This story was told by Soraya's aunt - who met with a French reporter secretly and told him the story... There is so much more to the story that I highly recommend it as a must watch movie... It's heartbreaking and eye opening....

I have shared many times on this blog that my dream is to go out into the missionary field.... This movie helped to solidify my want... my dream... I have a strong feeling it helped to open my daughters eyes.... My oldest watched as tears ran down her face... not understanding the evil in the world... She has such a heart for service... I can picture her by my side one day.... Talking to and loving others in the field.... Going to meet the unreached and telling them the Good News of Jesus Christ...

2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word of God. Be persistent, whether the time is favorable or not. Even if attitudes or circumstances are not favorable, speak out anyway, and tell about Christ's work..
