    Amazing!

    Amazing story of how God used the vision of one man that listened to God. I could not even wrap my head around all the he and his wife did for 13,000 children and still continue to do at age 68. Currently they have 3,025 kids living with them and their 8 biological kids all still work there. Must see!

    Blows My Mind

    I didn't know man has this capacity for love, selflessness and sacrifice, after overwhelming trials and temptations. I'm still amazed after a week of watching it.

    If I had to guess...

    If I had to guess I would say that Mully is happier than all the billionaires in the world combined. My toes started curling when God's name was brought up again and again (I am an atheist), but I am glad I got to finish this inspirational documentary.

    Exhilarating and Touching

    At the age of 63, this is beyond any doubt the most inspiring documentary I have ever witnessed. Regardless of one's faith, or without, the result is undeniable of how a man who gives up all of his wealth and comfort, can come through with nothing short of miraculous. It made me wonder, with all the exposure of the likes of the Gates foundation etc., how the impact and genius of Mully has changed the conditions with such an incredible impact on his country. The progression of his resentful children to support and eventual full involvement in their Father's passion, is a story with much meaning for us to ponder.

    The Ultimate Family Film - fun and funny, exciting and suspenseful, fast paced and gripping, pure enlightening joy!

    I loved this film. Everyone should see it. If you don't believe in a "higher power" this should convince you that not only does one exist but He is there as He says "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11. The media doesn't tell us stories like these, because they don't want people to know how God works in your life if you let Him and when you cooperate, your reward is pure joy! This film is suitable for every age and every taste. It's suspenseful; it's funny; it's uplifting and it will make you ponder what you have been wasting your own life doing. Truth is much stranger (and more wonderful) than fiction. I hope the whole world joins the Mully family.
