Overseas Missionary Fellowship, or OMF, is making a docudrama on the life of James O. Fraser and his ministry among the Lisu people.  I’m really excited about this project.  Check out jofraser.org for the trailer and more information about the film.  You can preorder it for $9.99, which sounds like a really good deal.

Mountain Rain is one of my favorite missionary biographies.  James O. Fraser life is inspiring and a testimony to what God will do if His people just call out to Him.

Thanks for letting me know Beth!

   I recently had the awesome privilege of being part of a group in my town to preview this Docudrama. It was very well done and very informative. Before I heard about the film, I had never heard of J.O. Fraser, but I’m excited about the message in the film.
   I’m a missionary in Thailand, and it was through reading biographies like ‘Mountain Rain’ that God touched my heart and challenged me to pursue a missionary life. I found your blog about a week ago, ironically while looking for a quote by J.O. Fraser that I heard during the film. I have enjoyed what I have read so far.

   Dear sir,
   I read the book “Mountain Rain” in English some years ago, before I saw the translated one in Lisu language. After having browsed it through, I was quite upset to find out many mistakes in translation.
   In a paragraph, it read “James had been running for several days to escape from the hand of the Kachin man”. I didn’t find this passage in the original book.
   I wished I could re-edit the book and publish it again. And I would like to make the cover design and the layout work more beautiful!
