Light Surrounding You
India is a country that shines with vibrancy - its languages, culture and spirituality make it incredibly rich and diverse. But it's also a country with more than 860 million people living in poverty – that's a massive 80% of the population living on less than US$2 a day. This video highlights a need we cannot ignore.
Opportunity International would like to thank Evermore for kindly granting us permission to use their song 'Light Surrounding You’ in this video. We are inspired by how this exceptional band is using the talents God has given them to reach out to others and seek global justice from right here in Australia.
