Filmed in Indonesia in November 2006, the feature video shows how BMS World Mission support is helping to rebuild lives, homes and churches on the island of Nias following the devastation that suddenly visited it in a tsunami and subsequent earthquakes.
It is a story of the triumph of faith over adversity.

Psalm 46 says:
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.
"I am so grateful for the imaginative way in which BMS helps us to celebrate harvest here in the UK. The Higher ground appeal will help you and your church to worship the God of harvest who longs to set people free throughout the world."
Jonathan Edwards, General Secretary, Baptist Union of Great Britain
"Through the Higher ground appeal, churches can express their loving concern for people like those in Nias as they continue to rebuild their lives and communities. The world may forget but Christians must not because God certainly doesn't!"
Bill Slack, General Secretary, Baptist Union of Scotland
"The Baptist Union of Wales is delighted to endorse the Higher ground appeal from BMS World Mission as it tells a story of God's love in Action amongst tragic and sometimes volatile situations where people are helped not only to know his love but to see the difference it makes."
Rev Peter M Thomas, General Secretary, Baptist Union of Wales
