Movie: Of Gods and Men
"Should it ever befall me, and it could happen today, to fall victim to the terrorism which seems to now want to engulf all the foreigners living here, I would like my community, my church and my family to remember that my life was GIVEN to God and to this country.

STRONGLY Recommended!
Of Gods and Men is available for streaming on Amazon.
Loosely based on the life of the Cistercian monks of Tibéhirine in Algeria, from 1993 until their kidnapping in 1996, OF GODS AND MEN tells a story of eight French Christian monks who live in harmony with their Muslim brothers.
This would be an excellent pre-field movie to stimulate discussion on how pre-fielders would respond. Do they see the risk assessment, situational awareness, and self-awareness that is demonstrated? Do they see the unity of the community demonstrated even as each monk made their individual decisions?
