A Christian church named Zion Church, in Batticaloa, Sri Lanka, was blown up on 21 April 2019. The day was Easter. 31 people were killed by Muslim violence affected by IS. This was a terrorist attack aimed at blasting a series of Christian churches. More than 250 people have died in Sri Lanka as a whole.
These are the Bibles of believers who attend this blasted church.
How is their life connected to Jesus?
We imagine these Bible owners.
I was surprised that their various personalities were in these Bibles. Even after the terrorist attacks, they read the Bibles and go to church. The reverence of that action prompted me to start this project.
I interviewed them.

Here are other existences of those who believe in Jesus.
