Peace Child
Have you ever wondered why God send his
child to Earth, when it must have hurt so
much to let him go?
You are invited to join us on a journey to the
mythical land of Mambica, to hear a story
which might help reveal the answer to this
mystery...
Two rival tribes, the Wannapeepees and the
Sopongis, live on opposite sides of a mighty river. Their lifestyles and values differ greatly.
Constantly trying to outdo each other by exhibiting their differing strengths, their fierce
rivalry is only prevented from escalating by their separation of the river.
The unexpected arrival of a Western TV crew, who see the tribal lifestyle as a perfect sub-
ject for a stunning, ground-breaking documentary, is at first seen as a pleasant break from
the usual routine and they are welcomed. However, when they hit on the idea of building a
bridge across the river to unite the two communities, the threat of war becomes a grave re-
ality. As the bridge building proceeds, tension mounts and fear hangs over both tribes, but in
the midst of this comes a joyful event - the arrival of the Wannapeepee Chief’s first born
son.
But the celebrations cannot last long as the prospect of war draws even closer. There seems
to be no way out, until the Wannapeepee Chief receives an unnerving message in his dreams.
In order to save his people from suffering, the Chief must sacrifice his son to the Sopongi
tribe as a ‘Peace Child’.
With the threat of war finally abated and the hope of peace rekindled, the tribes gather
slowly together across the bridge to give thanks for this Peace Child and what his life will
mean to them.
Our journey now complete, we are reminded of the gift of the baby Jesus given to bring life
and peace.
DVDs and photographs are
available to order. Letters will be sent home
later this week.
