UPDATE Nov 2010. Surathan Inchuran (known to his friends as James) who appears in this video was murdered recently. His attacker was caught and is now in prison. Although this news it is extremely tragic we would ask viewers to find comfort in the fact that James will spend eternity with our Lord. We would also ask them to contemplate their personal response to the Great Commission. Where would James be now if believers hadn't taken the Gospel to his nation?
