Hindu boy and Jesus Christ leitmotive

I am looking for a TV movie or mini-series. I think English-language from the 1990s or early 2000-2002, and I probably watched it on Minimax. . It was probably American movie in the style of "Little Princess".
It is the story of an Indian boy living in India - I remember that he prayed to Jesus Christ (there was a large statue of Christ in the church, and he prayed a rather long prayer). The film, of course, in color, not black and white. Unfortunately I don't remember anything else, but maybe someone will knows it.

I watched it between 1999 and 2003 in Polish TV - MINIMAX. "A Passage to Ottawa" (2001) is very similar, but I am not sure.
