Synopsis

Sadhu Sundar Singh was born in Northern India in 1889, the son of a rich Sikh landowner and farmer. The extreme anti-Christian convictions of his youth were reversed as the result of an intense religious experience at the age of sixteen. He braved first his family's anger and then the hardships of a nomadic existence to present the Gospel message in a truly Indian manner. He made many preaching trips into other countries, notably Tibet, and it was here that he was last heard of in April 1929. His saintly and austere life, the warmth and depth of his commitment to Christ had a profound influence on people of many races across the world.
