The Lost Sheep short film (English subtitles)

The Lost Sheep video is completed!

In the high mountains of Central Asia are Muslim shepherds who live a simple but rugged life. The village where they live is extremely remote and isolated from the outside world. Going there feels like you’re stepping back into time. This is the first time a film has been done with these people. All of the “actors” are from the local village.

The Lost Sheep

In August, Jim and Walt went on an adventure in Central Asia.  In partnership with another missions agency, they set out to retell the parable of the Lost Sheep (Luke 15:3-7) contextualized for a minority language group who are isolated up in mountains for much of the year.  Getting there was quite a challenge.  

Single-lane road

The "production truck"

Walt shares: "To reach the village where we stayed, we had to drive through the mountains for 9 hours on a dangerous single-lane road, and then hike on foot for 3.5 hours.  All our equipment was carried by donkeys."

The donkey was concerned about his online identity.

The kids love getting to see themselves.

The Glide-cam is really just an excuse for Walt to chase people.
