SCENE 1 SEQ. 1

EXT. A LARGE EXPANSE OF LAND – DAY – ESTABLISHING

EXT. IN A FOREST – DAY

A group of soldiers are seen matching with their guns into a hide out. As they move into the hide out in pairs, two of the soldiers behind are shot at. They groan and fall to the ground.

COMMANDER

Shit! Everyone get a cover! (He points at two soldiers) you! You! Get them. Now! Set yourself in

order. Lie down flat! (Everyone responds)

Suddenly, a grenade is thrown into their midst. They all identify it and begin to run as fast as possible. The bomb explodes but all escape it. Sporadic shootings begin. The COMMANDER then commands

Turn round! Everyone lie down in a straight order. Open fire!

As they open fire, the enemies shoot tear gas into their midst. Everywhere becomes cloudy. The soldiers all rise up and begin to run again but the COMMANDER stops them.

Stop! Hey! (Beckoning on one of the soldiers with a bazooka) you! Shoot twice at the enemy. Now! Go! Go!

Everyone trying to recover from the tear gas shot at them. They crawl for safety. As the rocket launched from the bazooka arrives the camp of the enemies, a sporadic explosion is seen from afar. Some of the soldiers of the enemy are seen running in their direction. As a result of this, the commander shouts.

Open fire! Now!

We see the enemies falling off, dying, they later retreat. Suddenly, a serious exchange of gunshot fills the air.

SCENE 1 SEQ. 3

EXT. AT THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FOREST – SAME TIME

The soldier that is shot with the sniper rifle is seen as he groans heavily. He shouts

SOLDIER 1: eeeh…. This is not good! I’ve been hit! (The soldier beside him shows some concern)

SOLDIER 2: Hold on tight man! (He gets a piece of cloth to tie the wounded side of the stomach as SOLDIER 1 groans)

SOLDIER 1: I am dying… I need to know the way to heaven. Do you know the way to heaven?

SOLDIER 2: No… I don’t. But you can’t die.

SOLDIER 1: It’s urgent… I can’t make it. (Sporadic shooting continues) I need to know the way to heaven.

SOLDIER 2: Hold on… let me ask. (He asks down the lane. The next Soldier asks the next until the second to the last drew out his New Testament bible and opened John 3:16 and passes it across the lane to the wounded soldier, who reads it and responds)

SOLDIER 1: Lord Jesus, I believe in you Jesus… I accept you as my Lord and Saviour… forgive me of my sins and grant me eternal life… in Jesus’ name I pray. (He then gives up the ghost).

...WE NEED CHRIST TO LEAD US HOME TO REST WITH HIM

ACCEPT HIM TODAY.
