Their subsequent releases in the Kids Around the World series (Including the Turks and whatever's next) will be the quality of what kids see on TV nowadays. $12.00 + $7 S&H.

Santosa's Story
I just watched this video last week. It's for YOUNG children, but is very well-produced. It tells about the life of the Quetchua Indians, clearly communicating concepts regarding Bible translation and literacy. It's about 15 minutes long and is sub-divided into several shorter segments. Although Mission To The World produced it, the video does not promote any particular missionary or agency. Write MTW for more information: P.O. Box 29765, Atlanta, GA 30359.

Review from: NateWilson --- I've seen the Parrish's videos (10/40 window for Children and Prayerwalking for Kids) and was amazed at how sharp and professional they looked--I was proud to see that Christians could put out graphics a good as anything MTV or Nickelodeon ever did! The Prayerwalking one, however, seemed really strange to me until I figured out why--there were no words on the screen because it's for children, who may be too young to read, and the video shots were from a kids-eye view--Brilliant!
