JESUS Film Updates from The GOOD BOOK Company

"I lived a terrible life," said Adéotti in Benin. "I grew with no religious values. My father died when I was 17. My mother had no resources. As the man of the house, I needed to earn money. I began to sell myself to men. I made enough money for our living expenses and my studies. Today, I am a new man; I met the Lord through the JESUS Film! I was convicted of my sins; I confessed, and Jesus forgave me. I am a member in the new church planted in my community. I participate in all the church activities. Daily, the Lord blesses me materially and spiritually."

"It was a beautiful event to hear the Word of God," said Nemecio in Bolivia. "My entire family became believers in Christ. We are thankful the Lord has touched our hearts while we are still young and able to serve Him."

"I was afraid to accept Jesus," said the viewer in Guatemala. "While visiting my aunt, I watched the JESUS Film. I liked the film very much but was afraid to follow Jesus. I called Brother Manuel to ask some questions. Two days later, I accepted Jesus as my Lord. Brother Manuel continues to teach me about Christ."

"Auxiliadora had two tumors on her ovaries," said the team member in Nicaragua. "She was very sick as she watched the JESUS Film. She made a decision to trust in Christ after the film. A few days later, God did a miracle by completely healing her. The two tumors disappeared altogether. She is so thankful wanting to learn more about God and His will in her life."

"The rain is not stopping us," said the team member in Indonesia. "Even though it is the rainy season, we are continuing to show the JESUS Film. Several people have become believers in Christ and are preparing to be baptized."

"I saw God's Word in the pictures," said 17 year-old Sara in Pakistan. "The JESUS Film Harvest Partners team member explained God's love to me using the EvangeCube. The picture which made the greatest impact was the person walking in darkness. I could relate to this picture. He told me how Jesus is the light and without Him we wander in darkness. I prayed to God asking forgiveness of my sins. The Lord answered my prayers and I have great joy in my heart. I am grateful to the JESUS Film team for using the EvangeCube to change my life."

"I saw the light tonight," said Ernest in Nigeria. "I was involved in a belief system which closed my eyes to Jesus as the Son of God. Now, I know Jesus is the Savior and not just a prophet. He cleansed me from my sins; through His blood, I am forgiven! Many of us are trapped in certain religious beliefs because of family history. Please join with me in prayer against possible persecution from my extended family. I know they will be out for me as soon as they know I am a follower of Christ and attending church. They may want to kill me fearing I will convince the entire family to follow Jesus. I know God will answer your prayers for protection and provision. I desire to be a strong believer living and working for the Lord."

"She met Jesus at age five," said the team member in Cuba. "Iraida lived in the house next to the JESUS Film location. As she watched the film, she suffered as Christ suffered. At the end of the show, she prayed the prayer of salvation. She was the only one that day who became a follower of Christ."

"Luciano and Graciela know the Savior," said the team member in Brazil. "Over 100 children watched the JESUS Film at the civic center. Following the showing, Luciano and Graciela stayed to meet Jesus. Their parents now hold Bible studies in their home."

"The girl was indifferent," said the team member in Mexico. "Even though we held services in Alejandra's home, the teenage girl was not interested in God. One day following our sharing of the Word of God, Alejandra approached us expressing her desire to give her life to the Lord."

"All in attendance accepted Jesus," said Medany in the Philippines. "Mr. J was our contact person in the community. He set up chairs and invited his neighbors to attend the film presentation. After the film, we shared the gospel with the people and all 52 became followers of Christ. We are working with a mother church to set up a worship center in the area. Praise God for His abiding presence."

"Many struggle to follow Christ," said the team member in India. "Due to persecution and violence many in our area struggle to serve the Lord. They leave their homes for the sake of their lives. The families are depressed and oppressed. This is how we found the family of Saheb's. We visited with them to encourage their faith. As a result, they recommitted their lives to Christ's service."

"Her daughter ran away," said the team member in the Dominican Republic. "Elizabeth asked us to pray for her daughter to return home. We joined with her in prayer believing God would safely return her daughter. Praise God – the next Sunday she was with her mother in the church services! The entire family became believers in Christ. God answers prayer."

"I do not regret it," said 43 year old Doonte in Burkina Faso. "I am a widow and suffer in poverty. I was sad in body and soul not knowing who to trust. I heard my children talking about the JESUS Film; I went to see it. I have no regrets because I have peace in my heart now. Jesus shares my burdens. I am free in His salvation. I trust Him and know He will never leave me. Pray for my new life in Jesus."

"God loves mankind," said 14 year old Adrian in Bolivia. "I was invited to watch the JESUS Film and at the end chose to become a follower of Christ. Jesus gave His life to save us. I want to learn more from His Word and am being discipled. I like to go to church and be with my new friends."

"Gustavo is serving the Lord," said the team member in Costa Rica. "Eugenia's husband, Gustavo, was not walking with Christ. After seeing the JESUS Film, he and their five children are in discipleship classes. Praise God for the change in this family."

"The girl fell from her father's arms," said the team member in the Philippines. "As we prepared to show the JESUS Film, a two-year old slipped from her father's arms. She was unconscious and her skin turned dark. Her mother was crying and the people were worried about the condition of the child. We gathered around the girl and lifted the small body to God. As the prayers ended with ‘amen', the girl screamed a cry and her color returned to normal. God touched the child! The family attends Bible studies and is active in the church."

"My friends were my life," said 20 year-old Nadia in Pakistan. "One day, I saw people gathering in a group. I joined in to see what was happening. A JESUS Film Harvest Partners team member was using an EvangeCube to explain the Word of God. The team member told many things about Jesus – His kindness and the way He takes care of His people and His healing power for the sick and blind. The team member told us to read the Work of God. When he talked about Jesus, I felt peace in my heart. I started to read the Bible daily. I am blessed by Christ and feel I have received eyes from Jesus like a blind man."

"The people are resistant," said the team member in Liberia. "We worked many months in this area dominated by a strong religious group. The people argue that God would not allow His son to suffer in such a way. We spent weeks praying and fasting. At one showing, Mr. Lusane, a school teacher, became a believer in Christ. He said, ‘From what I have seen, this man has powers from God.' Mr. Lusane is leading a Bible study for his family and other new believers."

"I was suffering from depression," said Luisa in the Dominican Republic. "I am 39 years old and could not sleep. Sometimes, I wanted to die and thought of killing myself. Everything changed the night I received Jesus. I am not the same and feel peace in my heart. I started to go to church and I am preparing to be baptized. My relationship with my family has improved."

"The greatest revolutionary of all time changed me," said 30 year-old José (not his real name) in Colombia. "I work in a dangerous area and have an opportunity to meet many people. My heart's desire is to reach the most feared people in the red-light zone. These people are known as ‘guerillas'. One day, I had a chance to meet one of them and we began a friendship. In my desire to know more about his spiritual needs, I began to talk about the greatest revolutionary in all human history who I personally know and who changes the hearts of men, Jesus our Lord. For security reasons, I can't tell you anymore details. I want to say Christ changed my life and gave me the opportunity to love the lost of which I was the first. Blessings on my brothers from the JESUS Film Harvest Partners ministry."

"I was part of a gang," said Cintia in Mexico. "My life was a mess. I did not care if I lived or died. When I heard the plan for salvation, I accepted Jesus as my personal Savior. Now I want to help young people make good choices and find a relationship with God."

"The JESUS Film creates a huge impact," said the team member in the Philippines. "People of all ages are touched by the life of Christ shown in the film. They believe in God and accept Jesus as Savior. We are happy to use this effective tool for Kingdom growth."

"The Lord has opened the hearts of people," said the team member in India. "They are truly receptive to the gospel. The film speaks to their hearts. In our follow up work, many people came to know Christ as their Lord. We are blessed and excited that local chiefs in this area support our ministry. On the other hand, in many places, we are working and reaching the people in the midst of persecution. We always need your prayer support. The harvest is truly plentiful, but and the laborers are few. We know this is true."

"Jesus can multiply the bread and fish in my life," said the viewer in Honduras. "I was impacted by the scene where Jesus multiplied the bread and the fish. I understand now that He can do the same miracle in our lives if we have Him in our heart. He is working in my life today, because of the JESUS Film showing."

"I had no hope or reason to live," said Filomena in Peru. "I gave my life to the Lord Jesus during a very difficult time in my life. When I heard Jesus, I felt very happy. Now that my Lord goes with me, I will keep going. With Christ, all things are possible."

"Jesus is Messiah," said John in Malawi. "In my childhood, I was not taught to believe in Jesus. Now as a man, I know God is the true God and Christ has the power to forgive our sins. I have seen this with my own eyes as I watched the JESUS Film."

"The chief stopped us from showing the JESUS Film," said the team member in India. "The people listened as we shared the Word of God. We told how Jesus suffered and died for us. We explained that whoever believes in Him will be saved from sins by His blood. One man stood up and said he wanted to become a follower of Christ and asked us to show the JESUS Film. The village chief stopped us and warned that if we visited the place again we would be arrested by the police."

"The widow prayed for her husband's killer," said the team member in the Philippines. "Her husband was shot for his belief in Christ. Years after the incident, the killer became a follower of Jesus. The widow's prayers were answered."

"Children are coming to Christ," said the team member in Cuba. "We thank God for the opportunity to share the gospel through the JESUS Film. Many have heard of God's love. The Word of truth is penetrating the hearts of the children."

"I was a slave to many vices," said the viewer in Panama. "Before I received Christ, my life was filled with sin. I had many marital conflicts. I wanted to change and have a better life, but I did not know how. After watching the JESUS Film, I decided to abandon my sin and follow Jesus. I have three children and am now attending a Bible study."

"We shared food and the Word of God," said the team member in Colombia. We met with 75 families and used the EvangeCube to share about God's love. The people were receptive to God's Word and 60 people are attending a Bible study."

"I heard Jesus speaking my language," said Lai in Nigeria. "I was excited in my spirit! I prayed to God confessing my sins. He has forgiven me and washed me with His blood. I am a child of God. I am happy to be here. My joy is complete as I sit with others and sing the Lord's songs. I pray God will greatly use me."

"We are praying for salvation for the whole community," said Yohana in Guatemala. "I am thankful for the brothers who brought the JESUS Film and prayed with us. They taught us about the power of prayer. We are new believers. Praise God!"

"It is difficult to witness," said the team member in Indonesia. "Some areas exist where we can openly share about Jesus and our faith. In other areas, it is difficult to share openly. Even in these places, people such as Mr. M are becoming new believers in Christ."

"I would like to come to the light," said Maya in Bangladesh. "I am a prostitute - a great sinner. I led people to darkness. I want to leave my dark life and walk in the light. I saw that Jesus loves everybody, even a prostitute. I believe He is almighty God and He really loves sinners. I will follow Jesus."

"We showed JESUS in a garden," said the team member in Cuba. "The pastor of the local church asked us to show the JESUS Film. Ninety people gathered in the garden to hear Jesus speak to them in their heart language. Following the service, 15 became new believers in Christ. The pastor invited us to return to the area."

"Studying was more important than God," said 21 year old Silene in Peru. "I was busy and did not think I had time to serve the Lord. Because of my studies, I avoided a relationship with Him. After seeing the JESUS Film, I realized God deserves first place in my life. I am happy I renewed my relationship with Christ."

"Mama Maria is a widow," said the team member in Kenya. "She was part of a religious group, but never knew about redemption. As she watched the JESUS Film, she felt a desire to come forward to pray. The next day, she told us how she accepted Christ and experienced His healing power. She was sick for a long time. Now she attends the local church and knows God's love."

"It seems we are facing a giant," said the team member in the Philippines. "This is a large area to reach for Christ. Our God is greater than this giant task! God has prepared the hearts of people in the area to be leaders. We are holding JESUS Film showings and Bible studies in their homes. Pray for these local leaders to be uplifted."

"I am very excited," said the viewer in Honduras. "I saw the JESUS Film for the first time. Today, I reconciled with the Lord! I want to hear more about the life of Jesus and how we are called to walk with Him."

"The people are persecuted," said the team member in India. "Many have faltered in their faith because of oppression. Praise God, we were able to show the JESUS Film to 147 people. Many requested prayer for their faith to increase and several became new believers in Christ."

"I worshiped the holy dead," said Gloria in Mexico. "I was invited to church several times, but finally told the person I had other beliefs. I saw the power of God when some men tried to kill me, but their weapons jammed. My husband and I both accepted Christ and in the presence of the JESUS Film team, we burned the altar. We are learning more about Jesus."

"The Lord answered our prayers," said the team member in the Philippines. "The Lord is opening the door for our work. We are working with many parents and children and the response is encouraging. We prayed for Bibles and received 300 Cebuano Bibles! We have started a Bible study."

"The people respect tradition," said the team member in India. "The people in Mr. Mangaldan's village follow traditional beliefs and few are educated. The JESUS Film was a good way to reach them. After the showing, people had several questions. Using God's Word, we provided answers. Many people, including Mr. Mangaldan, became believers in Christ."

"A couple of young people lost their lives," said the team member in the Dominican Republic. "Because of this tragedy, we chose this area to preach on the corner and show the JESUS Film. We invited youth to watch the JESUS Film and Magdalena (women's version of the JESUS Film), telling them there is hope. We ate hotdogs, explained the Word of God, sang, and shared testimonies. We encouraged them to receive the Lord and 70 came for prayer. A church is now ministering in this area."

"Soccer without Jesus makes no sense," said Heber in Paraguay. "I was searching for something or someone to make me a champion. I thought it was football (soccer). I thought when my soccer career was over, my life would be over. Today, I saw the miracles of Jesus. I know He can change lives. I accepted Christ as the Savior of my life. I know one day my career will end. However, I will win the game of my life because Jesus and I will celebrate a great championship victory in heaven."

"Many feared persecution," said the team member in Liberia. "The people of this area profess to other religious beliefs, so seeing the JESUS Film greatly impacted their lives. The people wanted to know why Christ was nailed to the cross. Many wanted to respond at the altar, but feared retaliation. One couple, David and Jartu openly became followers."

"They left their homes because of persecution," said the team member in India. "The people ran away in fear, but have begun to return to their homes after two years. Many were discouraged in their faith in the village we visited. After the show, we encouraged them from the Word of God. A fellowship of believers is meeting together regularly."

"The JESUS Film Harvest Partners ministry is going strong," said the team member in the Philippines. "The new believers are growing in their experience with the Lord and many are involved in Bible study. We are excited and encouraged."

"I knew He could save me," said the viewer in Honduras. "When I saw Jesus buried and resurrected, I believed in His power. I realized He suffered because of His love for me. I accepted Him by faith as my Lord."

"She cried loudly when Christ was nailed to the cross," said the team member in Sierra Leone. "The elderly woman was moved by the crucifixion scene. She said, ‘I believe Christ's death was for me.' She made a decision to give her life to Jesus and is a regular attender at church services."

"Diego understood the value Jesus places on women," said the team member in Argentina. "He came to church seeking help with his marriage. Through watching Magdalena (the JESUS Film from Magdalena's perspective), Diego saw Jesus honor and value women. He repented for mistreating his wife. Now the two of them attend services."

"My family was restored," said Wilfredo in the Dominican Republic. "The day I saw the JESUS Film, I had packed my clothes to leave my wife. Through the film, I received the Lord in my life. Today, we have a good and stable home life!"

"All of my family became believers," said the viewer in Guatemala. "I give thanks to God for the JESUS Film. All of my family accepted Jesus as their Savior after watching this film. Some of my neighbors did also. Sister Zarsente wants to donate a piece of land to build our church. We ask that you pray for us as we are new to the Christian walk."

"We showed the film on a basketball court," said the team member in the Philippines. "We set up the JESUS Film equipment for a neighborhood showing and several people attended. Mr. Contezano opened his home for regular fellowship meetings with the new believers."

"I believe one day I will be healed," said Mr. Oraon in India. "I asked the JESUS Film team members to pray for me. For a long time, I have suffered with pain in my body. I took many treatments and spent a great deal of money, but had no relief. The team shared with me the Word of God and told me to believe. Since that time, I faithfully attend church services and am feeling better. I am not completely well, but believe I will be healed fully."

"Iddrisu's face is filled with smiles and hope," said the team member in Ghana. "Iddrisu is one of the many people who accepted Christ following the JESUS Film showing. He said, ‘Today, I have seen the Jesus people were talking about. I now know why many have accepted Him as the only Son of God". Iddrisu was an idol worshiper for 33 years but now has found the Lord. He asked that we pray with him as he invites friends to come meet Jesus at their worship services."

"People are thirsty to hear God's Word," said the team member in the Dominican Republic. Using the JESUS Film, we have seen God blessing the neighborhood. One church is reaching out to children and many people are hearing the message of salvation."

"The women did not have much hope," said the women's leader in Uruguay. "I was thankful to use the JESUS Film equipment for outreach to women in my church. We showed From the Dark about the life of Felix Vargas, which had a great impact. Some women were weeping, and were moved by the tenacity of Felix's wife, and her prayers for her husband. Some women felt there was no hope in their homes. God used the film to encourage them. We thank God many women made decisions of faith. We are now preparing for discipleship. God is good. We have a very enthusiastic group of 40+ women. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to share God's love using the JESUS Film."

"Raja was injured and laying on the side of the road," said the team member in Sri Lanka. "We were going to a place surrounded on four sides by mountains. We heard a noise and went to investigate. We found Raja lying between the tea bushes and the drain. We administered first aid. He told us he was attacked by a group of people he did not know. We helped him to his home. As a result, he introduced us to the people of his village and made it possible for us to show the JESUS Film."

"We want to work for the Lord," said the couple in Guatemala. At one JESUS Film showing, there was a man who was away from God. Seeing the life of Jesus through the film touched his heart. He reconciled with God and his wife. Together they are seeking ways to be involved in God's work. They are joyous in their new life as a couple and as believers."

"Our church is a center for refugees," said the team member in Indonesia. "This is our rainy season and the area is prone to severe flooding. Many came to our church for refuge. This provided an opportunity to show the JESUS Film. Praise the Lord for several who became believers and are being discipled."

"They showed the JESUS Film in their homes," said the team member in Brazil. "The people of the neighborhood invited their friends to see Magdalena (the JESUS Film for women) and the Story of JESUS for Children. There were many new believers as a result."

"My religion forced me to build altars and offer animal blood," said Jonas in Benin. "Rituals and daily animal sacrifices were mandatory in our family religion. I was raising my child the same way. A friend returned home after being gone for a year. He told me about the gospel. He often spoke of Jesus, His love for me, and His death for me. I went with my friend to watch the JESUS Film. I accepted the Lord Jesus in my heart. The Lord forgave me and saved me. I destroyed all the shrines and fetishes. I'm not afraid of fetishes anymore because they are defeated in Jesus' name. Toda, I am a member of a church and God continues to bless me and my family!"

"We are meeting in a garage," said the team member in the Dominican Republic. "We ask for your prayers. We are working with a new church which is meeting in a garage. Praise God - we need more space. Thank you for praying with us."

"I was without a job for many months," said 28 year-old Raiz in Pakistan. "I was very discouraged by my difficulties. One day, I saw the JESUS Film. When I saw Jesus feed the large crowd of people, I was surprised. I realized Jesus provided for the needs of the people. I believed Jesus would provide for me. I prayed to Him about my situation and 10 days later I found a job. I am thankful He answered my prayers."

"She is reaching her neighbors," said the team member in Argentina. "An old woman asked us to show the JESUS Film in her home. She accepted Christ as her Savior and is attending church. She has introduced Ana and Luis to the Lord and the church. They live with Ana's mother who is opposed to the truth of Jesus."

"My family practiced the dark arts for generations," said Yaneri in the Dominican Republic. "I did not go to church until someone invited me to see the JESUS Film. I went to the service and had a wonderful experience."

"I asked Jesus to chase the bad things away," said the young boy in Uganda. "In the JESUS Film, I saw Christ chasing the people out of the temple for doing bad. The thought came to me that maybe I am doing things Jesus does not like, so I need to ask Him to chase those things out of my life. I decided to invite Jesus in my life and save me from the bad things."

"Magdalena touched my heart," said the man in Honduras. "I knew the ways of God. However, because of drugs and alcoholism, I left what I knew to be right. In the film Magdalena, I saw the resurrection of Christ and decided to reconcile with the Lord. My thanks to God for sending Hugo and Alexis to this ugly place to reach many for Christ."

"People are encouraged," said the team member in the Philippines. "The JESUS Film is a great tool for reaching people. Many are encouraged to attend the local Bible study held in homes after watching the life of Christ."

"I was taken to the hospital," said 60 year-old Gangodevi in India. "I was suffering from kidney stones and afraid to have surgery. The JESUS Film team showed the film to me. I felt peace as I watched. The team members prayed for me. Now I have no pain and no kidney stones!"

"Christ is my only protector," said Kouadio in Côte d'Ivoire. "After seeing the JESUS Film, I accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior. I was a fetish worshipper and thought the fetish was my only protector. I realized today that Christ is my true protector against evil spirits. My life now belongs to Christ!"

"I was told to go where there is need," said the pastor in Cuba. "God has used the JESUS Film to do great work in this place. I felt God say to me, ‘Go preach my Word, I will be with you and will fight for you.' One night, I showed the film and 33 people accepted the Lord. The owner of the house offered it as a place for regular prayer. Praise God!"

"The young man was going through dialysis," said the team member in Argentina. "We could see the desperation on his face and prayed for his healing. After a few weeks, he came to thank us and tell us he no longer has any problems since God healed him. As James says, ‘the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.' Hallelujah!"

"The living God took care of me," said Kalu in India. "I worshiped one of our goddesses. A few months ago, I began to have fits where I would fall to the ground. We made vows to the goddess but there was no change. I saw the JESUS Film and came to know about the Savior. The miracles of Jesus were a new thing for me. While watching the film, I said a prayer in my mind to the Lord Jesus to heal me. And He touched me! After the film, prayers were offered for me. I accepted Jesus as my personal Savior."

"Jamie beat his wife when she accepted Christ," said the team member in Guatemala. "Jamie was angry when he saw the changes in his wife after she became a follower of Jesus. He expressed his anger by beating her. God worked in Jamie's heart to show him a new life. Jamie is now a believer in Christ and is a changed man."

"There was not a fellowship of believers," said the team member in Indonesia. "Mr. JP was a believer but was weak in his walk. He lacked the fellowship of other followers of Christ. The JESUS Film was shown in his neighborhood and he was encouraged in his spirit!"

"I did not accept Jesus," said Carmen in Ecuador. "I saw the JESUS Film but my pride prevented me from experiencing His love. The image of Christ's suffering stayed in my mind. I was pregnant and began to go into early labor, so the doctors were concerned. At that moment, I remembered Christ on the cross. I whispered, ‘Jesus forgive me for being so bullheaded. Please enter my heart and save my new little girl who is about to be born.' God heard my prayer and I gave birth to a healthy baby girl. I give glory to God. Since my daughter was born, I faithfully attend church. I thank God for His grace knowing I never want to leave Jesus. He completely changed me; I am so full of His joy."

"The people are touched by the Spirit," said the team member in the Dominican Republic. "We see God working where we show the film. Seeing Him work gives us strength to go on."

"The chief opposed strangers," said the team member in Liberia. "After hearing Jesus speak in his own language, chief Tarkpoh confessed his sins and wrong doing. He asked forgiveness and thanked us for bringing the JESUS Film to his village. He gave land to the church to build a house of God."

"He heard about God's love," said the team member in Mexico. "Brother Jose was discouraged in his faith. Through the JESUS Film, he heard the message of God's love for him. Jose is a new creation in the Lord. He and his wife are attending worship services weekly."

"I suffered with headaches for two years," said Shahid in Pakistan. "I was advised by doctors but did not get better. I feared the pain would drive me mad. One day, the JESUS Film Harvest Partners team came to our village. I watched the JESUS Film. I saw Jesus heal a lady who was sick for twelve years. She had great faith. Jesus said to her, ‘Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole.' In the next moment, I asked Jesus to forgive my sins and confessed my faith in his healing power. I said, ‘I believe that you will heal me' and behold while praying Jesus cured me. Now when I see my friends I tell them that Jesus has done a miracle in my life."

"Our God is the living God," said the team member in the Philippines. "We were scheduled to show the JESUS Film but were not able to because the local leader had not issued a permit. God worked this out for us and a permit was issued. Several watched the film and are involved in Bible study and children's ministries."

"Lucia and nine others are part of the fruit," said the team member in Columbia. "The JESUS Film has produced a harvest of fruit. People have seen prayers answered. Some have been healed. Many have become believers in Christ! The ministry is fruitful."

"Please keep praying," said the team member in the Dominican Republic. "We continue to see the hand of God at work even in difficult times. Many people still need to hear about Jesus and know God's love. Continue to pray for the Lord to help us reach the people for Him."

"I will never spend a night without reading God's Word," said Alima in Ghana. "My husband and I attended the JESUS Film showing. We were moved when we saw Jesus die for our sins. We invited a team member to our home and confessed our sins. The team member gave me a Bible. I am helping others know about Christ and assist with a Bible study!"

"The name of the Lord is glorified," said the team member in the Philippines. "We traveled by motorcycle to the destination. The response of the people to the knowledge of Jesus was overwhelming. We proclaimed the Good News and the Holy Spirit spoke to their hearts! We are seeing great results."

"He believes he will be healed," said the team member in India. "Mr. Mahesh came to us for prayer after the showing. He suffered a long time with pain in his body. We shared with him the Word of God and prayed with him. He is well enough to attend regular services. He is not completely healed but believes he will be fully healed."

"I am convinced," said the viewer in Guatemala. "Many sects try to share religion. I praise God for the work of the JESUS Film team in spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ. I see things differently now. I am encouraged by Christ in the work I see."

"My husband threatened to kill us," said the woman in Peru. "My home life was torture. My husband was a drunk. He beat me and my children. He sometimes threatened us with a knife. I thought about committing suicide. I wanted to leave my home. One day, some people invited to me to see the JESUS Film. My husband did not want me to go but I went. I was sad when I saw in the JESUS Film how Christ died for me. God was touching my heart. His suffering reminded me how I suffered with my husband. I knew I was not alone. I repented of my sins and gave my life to Jesus. Since that moment, I felt wonderful. It was as if I had no problems before. I accepted Jesus and am happy He is my Savior and Lord. God is with me. I believe that God is going to touch my husband's heart."

"We were brought before the leaders," said the team member in Cuba. "We were in a situation we never faced before. We were showing the JESUS Film to an interested crowd. When it got to the part where Jesus is crucified, the community leader asked us to stop the film. The people watching were upset. The leader called us into a meeting. Brothers in the faith prayed as we presented our case. Glory to God things turned out well. We were allowed to finish the showing. Because of this, several people became followers of Christ."

"I sell coal at the market," said Mandiri in Benin. "I am a mother of six children and a widow for five months. I spent my life without hope. I did what seemed right. I used fetishes and visited witches. I was seeking power and money. After watching the JESUS Film, I was transformed. I have repented. I gave my heart and life to Jesus. I am involved in evangelism at the market. I talk with other women, vendors, and customers. Each day the Lord continues to bless my family and my spiritual life. My goal is to ensure that all market vendors give their lives to the Lord."

"I am one of the twelve," said Carlos in Nicaragua. "I work in the radio business. One day, a brother with the JESUS Film team visited me. We talked about Jesus. He invited me to be part of a community of brothers that is working to bless the community. I joined training with twelve brothers. God is ministering to all of us through the Holy Spirit. It was truly amazing. I am doing my job at the radio station with a purpose to share God's love."

"I suffered for a month," said 18 year-old Rebeka in India. "I was sick and my whole body was aching. One day, the JESUS Film was shown near my house. I saw Jesus performing miracles in the film. After the film, I asked the team members to pray for me. They prayed for me and I was healed. Truly, Jesus is the Son of God. I accepted Him as my personal Savior. He is everything to me. Praise His name!"

"We were uneasy," said the team member in Indonesia. "The village was remote and we did not know of any believers in the area. We discretely showed the film in the home of Mr. S. We praise God his wife became a follower of Christ. There is no church in the area. We are doing follow up with the wife of Mr. S to help strengthen her walk with Jesus. Pray that she will have the courage to continue to be faithful to Christ."

"They have shrines in their homes," said the team member in Tanzania. "In the remote areas, the people still worship the local gods. Each clan has a shrine to their god. Thanks to the JESUS Film, the people are seeing the power of the true God! It is a difficult process but the people are accepting Jesus and turning from the false gods of their ancestors."

"We see the power of God," said the team member in the Dominican Republic. "Thank you for your prayers, God is blessing us. Everywhere we go, we see how God is working. We go to many different places and God is drawing people to Himself. People are becoming followers of Jesus Christ. It is a joy to work for the Kingdom of God!"

"She sought achievement," said the team member in Brazil. "Ana Maria was obsessed the personal achievements. She gave no thought to spiritual things. She wanted a child desperately but was unable to achieve this goal. She was frustrated and terribly depressed. Ana Maria no longer cared about anything. She watched the JESUS Film and met her Savior. She has regained her self-esteem and is free from the oppression."

"God is good," said the team member in the Philippines. "In spite of difficult weather conditions, He points us to places where the people are responsive. We went to a village where the people had never heard the Good News. They welcomed us gladly even though they did not know us or know about Christ."

"My people are nomads," said 21 year old Thakur in India. "I saw the JESUS Film in my colony. I was encouraged by the miracles and life of Jesus. Recently, I attended church with my friend. I found peace in my heart!"

"The JESUS Film softened my heart," said the viewer in Honduras. "I watched the film and was reconciled to the Lord. I am doing things for Jesus now. I am pleased a Bible study will be offered here in my area."

"My husband died in a car accident," said 41 year old Frida in Peru. "My friends invited me to know Jesus for a long time but I resisted until my husband died. I felt so alone. I watched the JESUS Film and I took rest in God. Now my life is God's. I am doing better raising my three children. God bless you!"

"Life did not make sense," said Martha in the Dominican Republic. "I am 15 years old. I met Jesus through the JESUS Film. He gave me a sense of understanding in my life. I am happy to know Christ."

"I saw, I heard, and I decided," said Mudenda in Zambia. "My heart was touched during the JESUS Film showing. I decided to follow Jesus Christ as my personal Savior. I was going to church every Sunday without knowing the real purpose. Now, I know the truth."

"I was possessed by an evil spirit," said Kalawati in India. "I spent a lot of money and went to many hospitals but did not get better. Day by day, my sickness grew. My family was concerned about me. One day, a friend told me about Jesus and invited me to watch the JESUS Film. I went with my mother. As I watched the film, I felt the evil spirit inside of me. I screamed loudly and the team members prayed for me. After I calmed down, I realized the evil was gone. I prayed to accept Jesus as my personal Savior."

"Mr. S accepted Christ," said the team member in Indonesia. "At one of our showings, Mr. S became a follower of Christ. We are discipling him now. It is our hope that he will be willing to open his home to start a church plant."

"I was shown Jesus in a cube," said Mariana in Honduras. "The brothers told me about Jesus by using the EvangeCube. I understood their words and accepted Christ as my Lord. Before knowing Jesus, I was critical of my neighbors who attended church. I spoke badly of them and thought they were hypocrites. Now, I attend church too."

"The need for God is palpable," said the team member in Uruguay. "The area was filled will delinquency and violence. We wanted to offer an alternative. The faith of Pastor Beverly and her desire to have an impact on the Santo Domingo neighborhood was greater than the obstacles. The squatter's shantytowns are difficult places. Sometimes the opposition threw rocks. Yet the team persevered. The JESUS Film had an impact! The children opened their hearts when they saw with amazement how the Lord Jesus was treated and how He suffered for them on the cross. A beautiful group of 40 believers meets regularly in fellowship. Thank you for the JESUS Film."

"It was a bad habit," said Tarcisse in Burundi. "I would drink and fight. After watching the JESUS Film, I became a believer in Christ. I attend church and listen to learn more about God. My life is changed."

"They never understood," said the team member in Cuba. "This family had heard the message of God's love in a variety of ways but did not understand. Finally, they watched the JESUS Film in their home. They discovered the true Jesus and we prayed with them. The film spoke to their hearts in a way they could understand."

Thank you for your faithful prayer support!

"Circumstances hindered our plans," said the team member in the Philippines. "We tried to visit a certain community many times but met with various obstacles. Finally, we were able to show the JESUS Film in the home of Mrs. Bualan. We praise God 13 people became new believers in Christ that night!"

"Pray for our wives," said Vinicio and Joquín in Guatemala. "We decided to give our lives to the Lord following the JESUS Film show. There were others who accepted Jesus as Lord too. We are learning more about being followers of Christ. Join with us in prayer for our wives who are not believers."

"She had trouble breathing," said the team member in India. "A woman at the JESUS Film showing suffered with breathing problems. As she watched the film, she began to believe in Christ. Her heart was changing as she believed Jesus is the one and only who forgives our sins. When Christ was crucified, she accepted Him as her Savior. Her life was changed and so was her body. Her breathing trouble ended. She and her family are living new lives as believers."

"God showed His glory," said the team member in the Dominican Republic. "We presented the JESUS Film many times and the Holy Spirit touched many lives. We are so happy and we thank God for the ministry of JESUS Film Harvest Partners. Many souls have been changed. We trust in the Lord and hope to do more next year!"

"I used drugs," said Norbert in the Democratic Republic of Congo. "Before accepting Jesus, I smoked marijuana. After I received Jesus, I no longer smoked the drug. He saved me from this habit. I made my decision to follow Jesus."

"I felt depressed," said Jenny in Bolivia. "I was sad as I walked by the plaza. I saw the JESUS Film and decided to watch it. I felt like I had been led to this place. As I watched the movie, I felt the presence of the Lord Jesus beside me. I know the Lord's grace is great and His love is amazing. After the showing, the team invited us to go forward to pray. I accepted Jesus as the Lord and Savior of my life. I ask you to pray for my family."

"The man was drunk," said the team member in Guatemala. "He wanted to be a follower of Christ. I was unsure if he was sober enough to realize the decision he was making. He assured me he wanted to serve Christ and give up liquor. The next day he returned with his wife and she accepted the Lord also."

"The young people are receptive," said the team member in Indonesia. "We showed the film in a certain village. The children and the young people came to the show. Many became new believers in Christ."

"The JESUS Film changed the hearts of the people," said the pastor in Cuba. "God's powerful hand has made the difference. The people accepted Jesus and became strong in their faith. Wrongs have been corrected. The church is effective."

"Three chiefs were saved," said the team member in Sudan. "Praise God for the way He moved in people's heart and how He transformed their lives. We have seen the miracle of God save many who we feared were hopeless. We found it hard to even think of talking with them about Jesus. The Lord made their hearts soft and they gave their testimony with dancing and shouting!"

"I thank God for my good health," said Teodosio in Bolivia. "I was sick for a long time. Today the Lord has healed me just like He healed the sick in the JESUS Film."

"More than 100 are meeting," said the team member in Philippines. "Many responded to the invitation to receive Christ as their Savior. We have a regular Sunday worship time. We have been granted the use of a temporary meeting place made of lumber and sheets. We have over 100 people meeting weekly in fellowship."

"I am not able to read the Bible myself," said Niamet in Pakistan. "I am 35 years old. I am thankful to God for sending the JESUS Film team to our area. When Jesus did miracles people smiled, clapped, and glorified His name. When the Roman soldiers were beating Jesus everyone's eyes filled with tears. Many people, including me, repented of our sins and testified Jesus is Lord."

"I lost my baby," said Martiza in El Salvador. "I faced many difficulties in my life. I was pregnant but sadly I lost my son after he was born due to physical problems. It hurt so much. I blamed God for not taking care of my baby. I took my nephews to watch the JESUS Film. When the team members gave an invitation for us to know Christ, I accepted. I asked forgiveness from God and gave my life to Him. I am attending a church meeting close to my house. I am thankful to God for the JESUS Film ministry."

"It is an honor," said the team member in Cuba. "Working with the JESUS Film is an honor because the Lord is doing so many wonderful things. We are thankful to the people for their prayers and financial support of JESUS Film Harvest Partners ministry. We know we are doing good work in the Lord because of the many souls professing faith to God's glory."

"I have given my life to Jesus," said Sery in Cote d'Ivoire. "It is with great joy I profess my faith in Christ my Lord. I previously worship idols. With the help of Jesus, I am rid of the idols. My life belongs to my Savior."

"We launched out in faith," said the team member in Uruguay. "We were concerned about the condition of the people and their needs. We went to the village where we found believers who were praying for a church. At the first house we visited, we found a family who wanted to attend church but found the distance a problem. Working together we formed a preaching point."

"I believe God will heal me," said the woman in the small Sri Lankan village. "Most of the people in my village work on the tea estate. Many came to see the JESUS Film. I have many sicknesses in my body. After watching the film, I believe in Jesus and know I will be healed."

"His neighbors will object," said the team member in Indonesia. "We were showing the JESUS Film in private homes. Mr. H asked us what we were doing. We told him about the film. He said he would like to see it. We showed the film to him in his home and he chose to give his heart to Christ. Pray for Mr. H as he lives in a difficult area where the people will not support his decision."

"I am very happy," said Juan in Guatemala. "I am a new believer in Christ. I am thankful the JESUS Film Harvest Partners team also helped start a new church in my community. It is good to have a place to worship."

"I felt so lonely," said 13 year old Jamie in Bolivia. "I live with my mother and younger siblings. The first night they showed the JESUS Film, I felt alone and wanted hope in my heart. That night, a nice lady prayed with me as I accepted Jesus as my Savior. The next night, the team came back and showed the film in another part of my town. I attended this too. I have my own Bible now. It is exciting to see what Jesus did for me and how others also accepted Him as their Savior. I now have hope and peace in my heart. I am excited about the church opening in my village. I want to learn more about Jesus."

"I was a robber," said Gabriel in the Democratic Republic of Congo. "I took from people in our village. I watched the JESUS Film one night. When I saw Jesus on the cross with the two robbers, my heart softened. I was moved when Jesus forgave the one robber who asked Him to remember him in His kingdom. After seeing this, I committed myself to follow Jesus. I testify to the Lordship of Christ."

"We expected 20 but 70 came," said the team member in Cuba. "We were in a small community filled with hardened people. The man who helped us set up the showing, said we should not expect more than 20 people because the people were callous. We prayed in faith to the Lord and 70 people showed up. We praise God that 24 became new believers in Christ."

"Eshret was tormented by the devil," said Etsham in Pakistan. "When we arrived in the colony, the people told us about Eshret. We learned she had suffered for two years and spent all her money seeking help. We prayed with her and invited her to watch the JESUS Film. As Eshret watched the film, she saw Jesus cure the sick. When He rebuked the devil, Eshret started saying ‘Jesus do not cast me out. I beg you do not cast me out.' In the next moment, she fell down and the devil left her. When she regained consciousness, she testified that she had lost hope she would be cured. Now she is a witness that Jesus has authority over everything."

"We were surprised by the number of people," said the team member in the Philippines. "We didn't expect the large crowds who came to watch the JESUS Film. It was amazing! It is a joy to follow up with the people as they are so responsive to the gospel. Thank you for supporting us in the Lord's Work. God bless you!"

"God continues to work," said Sebastian in Guatemala. "The people of the community are open to the Lord. We meet regularly in my small house. Please pray for us to find a larger place to worship."

"Everyone ought to see the JESUS Film," said Mrs. Silvana in Argentina. "I reluctantly watched the Story of JESUS for Children. I was moved by the images and made a decision for Christ at the end of the showing. My mother and father need to see the film. I am inviting them to the next service. Everyone in the neighborhood ought to see it to understand Jesus is truly Christ the Savior."

"God has come to the people," said the team member in Sudan. "When we brought the JESUS Film to the area, many lives were changed. Two ladies came forward to ask for prayer. They shared their belief in Christ. However, they struggle with the temptation to continue to see the local witch doctor. We see God working in the hearts of the people."

"Praise God, we are opening new churches," said the team member in Cuba. "Daily we are preaching the Word of God. We project the JESUS Film in small group settings. We are seeing the fruit of our labor."

"I prayed for Jesus to make me humble," said 40 year old Ghorre in Pakistan. "I ignored other people's feelings and would easily fight with others even over little things. My family members were fed up with me. One day, the JESUS Film came to our village. I thought the film was a joke. As I watched, I was impressed by the meekness of Jesus. He bears all sin even of the people who made Him suffer. In that instant, I prayed for Jesus to make me humble that I might not fight with others. Now when I get angry, I remember the JESUS Film and it helps me to calm down as I remember the behavior of Jesus with others. I am thankful to God who granted me an opportunity to change myself through the JESUS Film."

"Religion and culture are intertwined," said the team member in a creative access country. "This is a resistant area to show the JESUS Film. It is difficult for the people to believe in Christ and still live in the culture. With help, we were able to show the film and lead one older lady in a prayer of repentance."

"I was a drug dealer," said Luis in Guatemala. "I praise God and thank the brothers from the church for bringing the Magdalena JESUS Film to us. I accepted the Lord into my heart and I want to serve Him now. We have started meeting each week in my home for Bible study."

"I am very grateful," said Kampenda in the Democratic Republic of Congo. "Christ did a great work for me on the cross. Before I met Jesus, I lived a life of promiscuity. Since I received Jesus in my heart, my life has changed. I am doing well and finding success."

"She is excited to attend church," said the team member in Bolivia. "We met 14 year old Sandra following the JESUS Film showing. She was moved by the film and prayed the prayer of salvation surrendering her life to Christ. She is motivated to learn more about God and to encourage her family as well."

"There is a great hunger and thirst for God's Word," said the team member in the Philippines. "The JESUS Film ministry is an efficient and effective tool to respond to that great demand. The people, especially in the remotest islands, want to know more of Christ. We continue to get requests to go to other islands. We are using the JESUS Film boat. Please pray for our travel schedule."

"I felt like a lost sheep," said Amjid in Pakistan. "The JESUS Film team shared the passage ‘I am the good shepherd and I lay down my life for the sheep' before showing the film. As I watched Jesus on the cross, I realized He is really the good shepherd and no one is like Him who gives His life for others. Jesus found me that day. I am thankful to Jesus for His love and sacrifice for me.

"Jesus was a child too," said 9 year old Marvin in Guatemala. "My grandmother brought me to see the life of Jesus. I liked it very much. I am happy to see that Jesus loves me. Pray for my father who does not believe." (Team Member Note: Marvin started crying so much that he could not talk anymore to finish his testimony.)

"Deng and Nhial were facing difficulties in their marriage," said the team member in Sudan. They were unfaithful to each other and did not feel like they could overcome their problems. One evening after watching the JESUS Film, they decided they were ready for a new life in Christ. They wanted a new beginning in their marriage and in their life as followers of Christ."

"It was a celebration," said the team member in the Dominican Republic. "We showed the JESUS Film, had drama skits, and sang songs. The community was so enthused they closed the street for the celebration."

"We showed the JESUS Film in homes," said the team member in Argentina. "We visited people in their homes and showed the JESUS Film. We started with the Lopez family, they had several neighbors and relatives join. They also came the following week to the services. We are excited to have others open their homes for more showings."

"The Word of God comforted me," said 20 year old Imran in Pakistan. "My parents died when I was 10 years old and I moved in with my uncle. When I saw my friends with their parents, it made me miss my parents more. I cried a lot and was filled with sadness. One day, the JESUS Film team used the EvangeCube to explain God's love with pictures. The way the team member shared the Word of God comforted me. He said Jesus knows when we are happy and when we are sad. Jesus is always with us. Jesus said ‘I am with you always even into the end of the world.' Hearing this I realized I am not alone when Jesus is with me. Now whenever I miss my parents, I pray to Jesus and I find the same love from Him that my parents had for me. I am thankful the EvangeCube was used to give me hope. It helps people have faith when they are discouraged."

"Almost all became followers of Jesus," said the team member in the Philippines. "The people were excited to watch the JESUS Film. There were around 80 children and adults. After the show, we explained the message of salvation. Most of those present, stood and raised their hand signifying their faith in God and acceptance of Christ as their Lord."

"I am a son of God," said Miguel in Guatemala. "My thanks to God that He loves us enough to send His Son to die on the cross for our sins. I accept Christ as my Savior and I know I have eternal life with God."

"He was a lonely young man," said the team member in Kenya. "The boy had a lot of problems because he was a drug addict. No one wanted anything to do with him. On the day we showed the JESUS Film, he sat at the back, alone and sobbing. At the end of the show, he just walked away and didn't talk to anyone. The following day he attended again. This time he was a little more relaxed and interacted with the others in attendance. On the third day, he attended and this time he was ready to accept Christ. He came forward for the altar call. He testified and said that he was happy to find a fellowship family. He is now under the care of the pastor for his spiritual growth and to get help with the drug addiction. Let's pray for him that he stays strong in the Lord."

"Our island has a message of hope and salvation," said the team member in Cuba. "We want to express our gratitude to the people who make it possible for the JESUS Film ministry to reach our island. We give glory to God for His wonderful work in the lives of the people. We know our work for the Lord is not in vain."

"She needed more in her life," said the team member in Brazil. "She had attended the church for a while but did not have a personal relationship with Christ. When she watched the JESUS Film, she recognized she needed more of the Lord's presence in her life. She gave her life to Jesus. Her actions prompted others to reflect on their relationships with God."

"I was sick with a blood ailment," said 35 year-old Sanjay in India. "I am married with two children. I watched the JESUS Film and the team prayed for my healing. Now my blood is good. I am a believer in Jesus and gave my life to Him. Please pray for my family and the JESUS Film team.

"She is facing much opposition," said the team member in Indonesia. "The 29 year-old woman, I will call "M", accepted Christ as her Savior after watching the JESUS Film. At the present time, we are disciplining her and she is learning to study the Bible. Pray for her because discipleship for her means facing many challenges."

"God restored my family," said Neftali in Guatemala. "I thank God for the opportunity to feel Him in my heart. I was away from the Lord for a long time because I drank a lot of alcohol. My life was being destroyed even to the point of destroying my family. But I thank God, He restored my family. We found reconciliation and are hosting a Bible study. Thanks to the JESUS Film, my children came to know the Lord too."

"The tumors were so large I could feel them with my hand," said 35 year old Nelly in Peru. "A friend invited to me to see the JESUS Film. After seeing the film, I was at home when my stomach began to cause me terrible pain. I learned I had two tumors in my stomach. The pain was so great I could not breathe. I thought I was going to die so, I asked my husband to call the pastor and JESUS Film team members. They prayed with me as I asked God for forgiveness. I accepted Jesus as my Lord. The pastor also prayed over the two big tumors. As the pastor was praying, the tumors disappeared. God did it! God used the pastor to help me. I'm very happy because of the miracle He did in my life. This is something I cannot forget. When my husband saw the miracle of God in my life, He accepted Jesus in his heart too. Thanks to God. I will serve Him."

"Magnolia had to make a choice," said the team member in Colombia. "Magnolia came to know Christ through the JESUS Film. As soon as she accepted Christ, she felt opposition from her roommate. Her roommate harassed her about her decision to follow Christ. She gave Magnolia an ultimatum. ‘You need to choose between Christ and me,' said her friend. Magnolia replied, ‘You shouldn't say this because if I were to choose, I'd choose Christ over you.' Since that day, a year has passed. She lost her friend and roommate, but Magnolia is a leader in a Bible fellowship group. Magnolia has received the support of her family, but her friend still has not come to God."

"He wants his family to have a personal saving knowledge of Jesus," said the team member in Indonesia. "Mr. N, accepted Christ after watching the JESUS Film. He wants to bring his wife, children, and grandchildren to a personal saving knowledge of Jesus Christ too. Pray for him as he grows in his new faith."

"Though there were many problems, God did great things," says a team member in Sri Lanka. "This month we went to a village where the people told us ‘you have no need to show any films about Jesus in this village, we are not interested.' We talked to them and answered questions for a couple of hours until some of the people asked us to show the JESUS Film. We showed the film and many who watched the film regretted their sins."

"Without Him, we are nothing," writes Estela from Nicaragua. "The JESUS Film impacted me very much because it shows the fullness of Christ's love when He gave Himself for us. For this reason, I accepted Jesus Christ because I realized that only in Him do we find eternal life and salvation. Jesus is guiding us in all our ways."

"I am just coming out of prison," said Manasse in Mozambique. "I was out six months when I saw the JESUS Film. I understood it was more than just a story. It was truth. Jesus came to save sinners.

"They became children again," said the team member in Brazil. "The couple would allow their children to go to church and Sunday School, but they did not attend services.

Our team member, Brother Murmu was explaining the Word of God and people were listening very carefully. When our meeting finished, one young person named David came and said to us, ‘today I know about Jesus Christ.' David is following Jesus but he has some problems because his family is opposed to believers in Christ."

We went to the boy’s house and saw him lying on the bed. We told him about the healing power of Jesus. We read scripture and shared more about Christ. We prayed sincerely for Roni’s healing. The viewers were overwhelmed to see Roni healed through our prayer in the name of Lord Jesus Christ."

This man was going to a bar to drink until he heard the message. He has since come to the pastor and requested information about the church."

"I met the light and saw the truth," said Niga in Benin/Togo. "Since birth, I was taught to worship fetishes and many gods. I am a housewife and mother of three children. When I saw the JESUS Film, I understood Jesus is the true God. I asked God to forgive my sins and became a believer in Christ. I know Him and accept Him as my personal Savior."

"His humility impacted me," said Carla in Bolivia. "In spite of so many humiliations, Jesus remained quiet. All of this impacted me. I am sure we can conquer all with Him. It is my desire to serve Him and know more about God."

"Many were against the showing," said the team member in Sri Lanka. "Due to the opposition, the number of people who attended was small. Mathiyalagan came to see JESUS because he needed help for his sick wife. He heard Jesus could heal the sick. He asked us to pray for his wife. Each time we visited the area, we stopped by to pray for Mathiyalagan’s family. We praise God his wife is starting to recover."

"I made a decision," said Estefania in Panama. "I was involved in church activities but did not know Christ. The night of the JESUS Film, I decided to follow Christ. I have changed my path and surrendered my life to the Lord."

"Some wept, others lamented," said the team member in Cuba. "As the people watched the fate of the Savior, they experienced strong emotions. When we had the altar call many stood to accept Christ as their Redeemer.

"I am worried about them," said 60 year old Pedro in Bolivia. "I am married to Juana and we have seven grown children who live far away from us. I am worried about them because they do not know the Lord. It gave me a great deal of pain to see how the Lord suffered on the cross. That's why my wife and I chose to follow Him."

“The park was controlled by gangs,” said the team member in El Salvador. “With the help of the local church, we showed the JESUS Film in a gang-controlled park. The church is actively working in the park and the community.”

“In the midst of calamity, they need the Lord,” said the team member in the Philippines. “Ninety-three homes burned in the area. Even as the people were dealing with these hardships, they needed more than materials to rebuild. They needed a Savior. We experienced a wonderful time of prayer and eleven were baptized.”

“I request that you please pray for me,” said Fakirchand in India. “Since birth, I was raised to believe in religious rituals. I was suffering from breathing problems for many days when the JESUS Film team came to our village. I was very concerned for my health. I watched the JESUS Film and believed Jesus could help me. God did a miracle in my life. My breathing problems were healed and I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior.”

"She came with popcorn and her grandchildren," said a team leader in Brazil. "Mrs. Maria came with her two granddaughters and two grandsons to see the JESUS Film.

They are now inviting their parents to come to church."

"The Lord favors those who seek salvation," said the team member in the Philippines. "We experienced some resistance from another religious group in the area where we where showing the JESUS Film. Praise God, He blessed our work. Several are new believers in Christ and are part of a regular fellowship group."

"I have never felt the way I felt as I watched the JESUS Film," said Angela in the Dominican Republic. For a long time, I heard about Jesus but have never done anything. While watching the film, something touched my heart and I felt as if someone was taking my breath away. I felt like I couldn't breathe any longer and I did not know what to do. I started to cry and when they called us to go forward, I accepted the Lord as my Savior."

"Jesus was nailed on the cross for my sins," said Jules in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. "I decided to give up all my past ways to focus on my relationship with Jesus. He is the way and the light of the world."

"They were despised by the people," said the team member in Zambia. "The family was known because they brewed beer and evil things happened in their home. People looked down on them as a family with no future. When they saw the JESUS Film, the family members responded. They all came forward for repentance. The others from the village could not believe what they saw."

"God has given us opportunities to open new work," said the team member in Cuba. "We have worked hard to share the story of JESUS with all who would listen. We are thankful we have been able to work in many locations.

"Celestina came joyfully," said the team member in Bolivia. "She was invited by a lady from the church to watch the JESUS Film. Celestina was eager to attend and said she was most impacted by the sacrifice the Lord made on the cross of Calvary to save mankind. She gave her life to Christ as the salvation prayer was prayed."

"They asked us to prove the power of Jesus," said the team member in Bangladesh. "After watching the JESUS Film, the people said they wanted to see the truth with their own eyes. We prayed for God's direction. We praise God that He listened to our prayer and gave an answer immediately through Hridoy. Hridoy's son had been sick for many days. People thought that he had a demon in him. The people had seen Jesus heal many and even give life to a dead person. Hridoy asked us to cure his son. He believed Jesus could heal his son completely. We went to Hridoy's house to pray for his son's healing. Many people went along with us. We read from the Bible and placed our hands on the boy. We prayed strongly in the glorious name of our Lord Jesus. During the prayer, the boy opened his eyes and cried out saying 'O Lord'. We felt that our Lord listened to our prayer and the demon left the boy. The viewers who did not believe in the heavenly power of Jesus believed and accepted Jesus as their Savior after experiencing the healing of the boy."

"He was healed," said the team member in Indonesia. "The boy had watched the JESUS Film several times but did not believe in Christ. Finally, while he was sick he watched the film again. We prayed for him and he was healed. He accepted Jesus into his heart and is now active in our children's activities."

"No longer will I run after men," said the young prostitute in Sudan. "After seeing the JESUS Film, I realized Jesus loves me. I will do what God wants me to do from now on."

"They never told me about Jesus," said the viewer in Argentina. "I attended a kind of church but it isn't like this place. They never showed me a film like the JESUS Film or talked about Jesus. I did not know how to ask Jesus into my heart. I wept a lot when I saw how Jesus was nailed to the cross and crucified for me."

"One of the children accepted Christ," said the team member in India. "In the rainy season, we show the JESUS Film in homes. At one showing, a child heard God's voice and he is now a regular worshiper at the church learning more about Jesus."

"The believers must keep a low profile," said the team member in the Philippines. "Sister Esther allows the JESUS Film to be shown in her home. Many have seen JESUS because of her willingness to allow her home to be used for God. As a result, lives are being changed and the people are receptive to the gospel of Jesus Christ."

"He changed the course of my life," said Pablo in Guatemala. "I was lost in alcohol but Christ saved me through the JESUS Film. Today I want to invite my community to change their lives and to fellowship together in worship."

"The pastor baptized ten new believers," said the team member in Mozambique." The church was inactive for many years. The film was able to re-activate the church."

"Jesus, the Son of God, died for me," said Wilmer in Bolivia. "The JESUS Film touched my heart. In this video, I thought about the love of God for mankind, giving His life for me and for you. I saw how Jesus was abused. I accepted Christ in my heart as the Lord and Savior of my life. I recognized that I am a sinner and asked for forgiveness from God. Thanks for coming so that I could know Christ through this film."

"The pastor is a believer because of the JESUS Film," said the team member in Cuba. "We were in an area where the pastor had asked us to show the film. We understood his passion for the JESUS Film because eight years earlier he became a believer in Christ after seeing the film. This pastor is excited to lead others to an encounter with God!"

"The people were receptive to the JESUS Film," said the team member in the Philippines. "No evangelical church was in that area and the people wanted the touch of Jesus. We praise God for how He has opened the doors for ministry."

"The JESUS Film opened my eyes," said 18 year old Hkanooq in Pakistan. "I was very happy to see the film. Before, I did not know Jesus had suffered for me. This was the first time in my life I experienced the love Jesus has for me. I testify that I am a believer in Christ and devote my life to Him."

"I gave Him my life," said Pedro in Guatemala. "Christ loves me and died for me. He forgave my sins and I am happy."

"Their home is known as the 'House of Blessing'," said the team member in Brazil. "The Nogeuira brothers opened their home for a showing of Magdalena. The men and their wives all became believers of Christ. They are involved in the local church and continue to open their home each week to others."

"She was crying as she testified," said the team member in Cuba. "We drove many miles to show the JESUS Film. It was worthwhile because many people believed in Christ. One young lady testified that she was going to stay away from sin and follow Jesus. Everyday we have the chance to see God working through the JESUS Film in Cuba."

"I left my heart in the hands of Christ," said Justin in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. "Before seeing the JESUS Film, I did not know I could find help and hope in a Savior. I am making efforts to grow in my faith."

"I feel peace in my life," said Marco in Guatemala. "I feel happy since Christ has forgiven me as only He can forgive. Now I am saved and serving Jesus with my whole heart."

"I saw Jesus heal many people and it gave me hope since I had suffered from stomach pains from the age of five years old. During the show, I was healed. I want to praise God for healing my body and giving me hope."

"DK is the only believer in the whole village," said the team member in Indonesia. "The village is made of people with strong religious beliefs. We showed the JESUS Film and only DK accepted the Good News. Because he is in a vulnerable position, the prayers of other believers will sustain him as he seeks to be a light to others."

"If you give your life to another religion they will kill you," said the farmer in Benin/Togo. "In our village, the people believe in the mountain and fear other religious beliefs. After seeing the JESUS Film, I gave my whole life to Christ. I have confidence that I no longer need to fear the mountain."

"A new church has been established," said the team member in the Dominican Republic. "We are pleased to report the first baptism, the first wedding, and the first baby dedication has occurred in the church. God is doing miracles in this place since the church was started through the use of the JESUS Film!"

"The need for the gospel is so great," said the team member in Argentina. "In one of the showings in a man's house, we began to pray and the Lord showed us the needs of the city. We feel strongly that we must start a church. We have regular meetings for Bible study and hope to start classes for children soon."

"God answered our prayers," said Seema in India. "Many times I have prayed to God for direction and answers to prayer. We are so happy the JESUS Film team members joined us in a prayer for our child. We praise God He heard our prayers. We are grateful for the JESUS Film."

"Many came to know the Lord Jesus," said Nemie in the Philippines. "We showed the film in new areas with the help of Brother Edmund. Our JESUS Film showing helped many to know Jesus. The people are ready for the message and have joined church fellowships. In one village, two families have joined in weekly Bible study."

"Many people visited the church," said the team member in the Dominican Republic. "The JESUS Film has been a blessing to the community. As the people watch the film, God touches them. Many want to know more about Jesus and begin to attend church."

"She had no desire to live," said the team member in Argentina. "The owner of the house where we showed the JESUS Film is an old lady who was bedridden and depressed. Her name is Eva. After ministering to her with the word of God, she gave her testimony and said before she had no desire to live but now she sat up in her wheelchair and began to move around. Her spirit is renewed."

"He is our bread," said the viewer in Sudan. "We have not been able to harvest food for two years," said the team member. "God is good and we continue to see His power as He is moving in a mighty way. Following one JESUS Film showing, an old man prayed saying, 'God gives us hope for the future. Even if we have no food, He is our bread.' Such a hope is only through Jesus."

"Jesus did a miracle in our lives," said Maria in Guatemala. "We did not plan to be followers of Christ. After watching the JESUS Film and hearing the brothers speak, we felt God touch us. The spoken words affected me deeply. We knelt and prayed. We are happy to be a new couple in the faith."

"The weather was getting worse," said the team member in Bangladesh. "We were showing the JESUS Film when a storm forced us to stop the film. We gathered in a room to wait but the storm seemed to get worse. The people were greatly disappointed. We waited and waited. Finally, we prayed to our Almighty God to show His power over the air and rain. We, along with others, prayed. Truly the stormy weather stopped a few moments after our prayers and we were able to complete the showing. Many became believers in Christ this day."

"They are afraid to openly attend church," said the team member in Indonesia. "Several people have been led to the Lord and are being discipled as new believers. They face a great fear of being ostracized by their families because of their new beliefs."

"The Lord placed a great burden on my heart for this place," said Pastor Eduardo in Argentina. "I sensed I should start a new neighborhood work. So I asked the JESUS Film team to come and help me. We began to show the JESUS Film and little by little people drew near. We could see the tears falling down the faces of the people as they felt deep pain for the lives they had been living. The Holy Spirit was working in their hearts. It was wonderful to see how the people came forward at the invitation and fell to their knees asking God to help them change their lives. An entire family turned their lives over to Christ. The Lord restored their marriage and broke the chains that had tied their sons to a life a drugs. Today they are a family that shares the gospel unceasingly. Their home is a place where people go daily to hear this family share the gospel. I thank God for this family and for the JESUS Film as it is a valuable tool for reaching the lost."

"The man promoted tribal conflict," said the team leader in Sudan. "The man attended a JESUS Film showing and met Christ. He confessed to the Lord and asked for forgiveness as he had been a man who caused trouble. Now he testifies to promote the good news of Jesus. Pray for him that God will use him to reach many people."

"The family asked us to go with them to the hospital,” said a team member in Cuba. “We were working in a specific community when they asked us to take the woman to the hospital. On the way, we told them about God’s love. In the midst of a difficult time, they became new believers in Jesus."

"Today my life is different," said 67 year old Agustin in Nicaragua. "I give thanks to God because Christ changed my life. I am not the same person that I was before. Now I am happy with the things that the Lord has done for me. I know that I will serve him for the rest of my days. Before I came to know Christ I was a drunk. Today my life is different and I give thanks to God for the change. He forgave my sins. I thank God for His immense love."

"We are still alive and able to serve God," said the team member in Bangladesh. "We thank God for His mercies. We showed the JESUS Film in an area where the people believe in many gods and goddesses. There was a man watching who had been suffering from a bad stomach pain for a long time. He didn't have any improvement after receiving treatments from doctors and herbal practitioners. After the showing, the man asked us to pray for his healing. We placed our hands on the man's head and waist and prayed to our Almighty God for the man's healing in the most powerful name of our Lord Jesus. We strongly prayed to our Lord Jesus to show His healing power and mercy upon these people so they would know Jesus and believe that He is the true Almighty God. We returned a week later to find the man healed and asking to be baptized."

"The students responded to the JESUS Film," said the team member in the Philippines. "It is our first time to have a campus ministry. Many students testified to God's greatness. A Bible study group has been formed and is student led."

"James was captured by the Holy Spirit," said the team member in Liberia. "James did not know where the people were going but he followed them to the JESUS Film showing. He did not return home the same man. James is a new man in Christ. He is leading many others to meet the Lord."

"To accept the Lord was an amazing experience," said 8 year old Estarlin in the Dominican Republic. "I felt God in my heart and started to cry. I went to the pastor and we prayed together. I prayed to serve the Lord."

"My sad life is filled with joy," said 18 year old Marco in Peru. "My mother left us and my father drank all the time. I felt alone. My life was in disarray and I was rebellious. My friends invited me to see the JESUS Film. I realized I had to change my life. I could not take it anymore. Now I live for Christ and my life has changed completely. I have joy in my life because God forgave my sins."

"Some lay on their beds and others sat on the floor," said Dr. Susan at the Kudjip Nazarene Hospital in Papua New Guinea. "We showed the JESUS Film to around 175 people, who were patients along with friends and family who came to take care of the patients’ needs. The JESUS Film was shown on the surgical and medical wards, but all were welcome to come and watch. Some sat or lay in their beds while others sat on the floor or stood in the doorway to watch the film. At the conclusion, I spoke briefly to those present and missionaries prayed with them individually. That weekend 16 people accepted the Lord as their personal Savior!"

"The stormy weather ruined our JESUS Film showing," said the team member in Bangladesh. "We had to turn off the equipment and take shelter because of the storm. The viewers were sad about the inconvenience. We prayed to our almighty God to stop the storm. And truly the stormy weather stopped after a few moments. We were able to resume the JESUS Film showing and many made decisions to accept Christ as their Savior."

"What am I going to do with my life," said the viewer in Guatemala. "I spent a lot of time thinking about my life. When I saw the JESUS Film, I knew I could not do anything by myself. Seeing everything Jesus did for me touched my heart. I have given my life to Christ."

"I am free from the penalty of sin," said Ismael in Nigeria. "The Lord showed me mercy as I watched the JESUS Film. I felt I should draw close to Christ but felt hopeless. As I moved closer to Jesus, I surrendered my life to Him and He has given me hope. There is such peace in my life now. It’s wonderful to know I am free from the sins I have committed. Pray for my extended family. They are deep in sin and hopeless as I was before knowing Christ."

"Her husband and daughter were arguing," said the team member in Argentina. "We were showing the JESUS Film in the street when a woman ran to us asking for help. We followed her to her home where her husband and daughter were arguing. We talked and prayed with them and they agreed to stop fighting. We invited them to see the JESUS Film. Following the film, the husband became a new believer in Christ and his whole attitude changed. They asked us to show the JESUS Film in their home. Now in the home once filled with fighting, they are planning to hold Bible classes for children."

"They waited to see JESUS," said the team member in Cuba. "When the rain started we had to stop the JESUS Film showing. We thought the people would leave and go home. They waited an hour for us to continue the film show. As a result, 27 people became new believers in Christ. Praise God!"

"The chief’s family came forward to accept Christ," said the team member in Sri Lanka. "We had been praying for this place for some time since there were obstacles in showing the JESUS Film in this area. The young people were especially against the screening of the JESUS Film. Finally, we were able to contact the chief and show the film. Many came to watch the film and now know about Jesus for the first time. Some accepted Christ, including the chief's family for which we thank God."

"Many people are not able to read the Bible," said the team member in the Philippines. "Many encounter the message of hope through the JESUS Film. Some have heard the name of Jesus but do not know how to have a personal relationship with him. Through the film, they realized they can know Christ. I want to raise my hands to glorify the name of the Lord for the victory we are seeing during our film showings."

"Pray for me and my friend Esmeralda," said 14 year old Karen in Nicaragua. "I feel very happy to know Jesus Christ and have accepted Him in my heart. I am sure He has forgiven my sins. The JESUS Film impacted my life and through this film, I received the Lord as my Savior. My friend Esmeralda is a new believer too."

"I was a soldier," said Carlos in Guatemala. "I was arrogant and did not believe in a forgiving God. I was lost in alcohol and hit my kids without reason. I felt like nobody could make me change. Today, I came alone to see the movie. The power of the message in the JESUS Film touched me. I felt God saying, 'Carlos, today I want to shake you up.' When the pastor began inviting people to accept the Lord, there was a fight going on within me. When he said a prayer for people with hard hearts, I went forward slowly. When I got to the front I was crying. Thank you God for being so good to me!"

"His skin problem was gone," said the team member in Sri Lanka. "When we returned to follow up with the people of the area, one man told us, 'I was there when you showed the film last time. I was just watching the film for the sake of watching. When Jesus started healing the sick I thought in my heart, can he heal me from my sickness? Is it too difficult for him to heal me? I was standing there for a while, then I went home. After two days, I noticed my skin problem was gone. God healed me!' We thank God for healing him. We are teaching him more about Christ."

"The Lord spoke His word to me," said Titus in the Solomon Islands. "I did not go to school and do not know how to read and write. The pastor's wife turned on the Proclaimer for me to listen to each morning. The Proclaimer was in Pijin (my language) making it easy to listen to it. By listening to it every day, the Lord spoke to me through His Word. When I listened to John 3:16, it really blessed me to know about God's love for me and that He died on the cross for me. From that moment, I decided to give my life to Jesus. I was only there for one week. In that week, I gave my life to Jesus."

"After watching Magdalena, the family joined the church," said the team member in Brazil. "The De Souza family occasionally attended services. After watching the film together, they renewed their commitment to being active members of the church body. The family attends each Sunday and was recently baptized. They have opened their home to show the JESUS Film to others."

"They watched the wall intently," said the team member in Sudan. "The lady who was to open the building for the JESUS Film showing was in another village. We decided to show the film on the outside wall of the building. We had to show it as scheduled because the people had to travel back to their homes on foot or horseback before dark. We began the show at 4:30 in the afternoon. It was so bright hardly an image could be seen but the people listened with intensity. By the end of the film, an old man was wiping the tears from his eyes. The Holy Spirit had moved on the small crowd. Each of the 15 people became believers in Christ that day. Praise God!"

"We are having good results," said the team member in the Dominican Republic. "We have been showing the film in the center of the city. Many groups are working together to help the local church grow. God’s kingdom is expanding and the lost are being reached. God is great and wonderful!"

"Give thanks to God for the miraculous healing of Babu," said the team member in Bangladesh. "Babu's parents were worshippers of idols and made vows to their gods and goddesses for their son's healing but nothing worked. After seeing the JESUS Film, Babu's parents told us they believed Jesus was God and could heal their son. On their request, we prayed for the boy and anointed him with oil. To God's glory the boy was healed and many in the village asked to know more about Jesus!"

"They have bamboo seats and a place to worship," said the team member in the Philippines. "In one area where we showed the JESUS Film, the people are gathering for regular worship and young people are being trained as helpers. One member of the group provided a sound system. This church has a strong testimony in the community. The people are raising money for food to help others."

"We are very excited about the open doors here," said the team member in Costa Rica. "The JESUS Film has given us a great entry into this community. We are beginning the work with youth and adults. One young man became a new believer and his family wants to know about Jesus too!"

"We never dreamed the doors would open," said the team member in Argentina. "In this difficult area, we showed the JESUS Film on the patios of soup kitchens and in homes. At one showing on a soccer field, the crowd was so moved by the healing of Bartimeus, they started to bring their sick loved ones to us for prayer! A little girl was healed who had suffered from pain and was scheduled for an operation. Three days after we prayed for her we were told the doctors said she no longer needed an operation. Thanks be to God!"

"I am the worst sinner," said Dut in the Sudan. "I was a man known for violence in my village. Following the JESUS Film show, God brought me to His altar where I cried out to the Lord to take me as one of His sons! I am a worse sinner than those I have seen in the film. The Lord saved me. He is faithful and passionate. He loves all people and forgives them. I am hungry to know more about Jesus!"

"Jesus came to bring light to those who live in darkness… to lead our feet in a way of peace," said the team member in Cuba referencing Luke1:79. "We had an opportunity to show the JESUS Film in a church that wanted to reach the lost and start a new group. During the showing, many people came to know Jesus. At the end of our time in the church, the pastor said the JESUS Film is one of the most effective ways to bring people to the Lord."

"I felt a physical sensation go through my body," said Mateo in Guatemala. "While praying to God to forgive my sins, I felt a hand touch me. God allowed His peace to flow through me that day. Today I want to say publically that God totally changes people if they ask Him with a sincere heart."

"I tried to stop the JESUS Film show," said Hla in Myanmar. "I was a believer in another religion and was against Jesus. While trying to stop the show, I became sick. The team members prayed for me to feel better even through I was trying to cause trouble. Suddenly the Spirit of God spoke to me in a very real way and I gave my life to Christ as my personal Savior."

"Your fever will go away if you watch JESUS," said Anila’s friend in Pakistan. "When the JESUS Film was beginning my friend asked me to go with her to watch. I told her I could not go because I was not feeling well and had a fever. She insisted I go saying my fever would go away as I watched. When I saw Jesus heal the blind man, I felt as if someone touched me and my fever disappeared. After the film, my friend and I went to talk to the pastor. I asked Jesus to forgive my sins and accepted Christ as my Savior."

"The couple was involved in witchcraft," said the team member in Zambia. "The couple caused a lot of harm toward many people. After watching the JESUS Film and seeing Jesus performing miracles and saving sinners, they knelt at the altar and gave their lives to Jesus Christ."

"He was resentful toward God," said the team member in Argentina. "As we were looking for a place to show the JESUS Film, we met a young man who was angry with God. We were able to spend a few hours with him and invited him to see the JESUS Film. Following the showing, he asked us to explain more about Jesus.

We talked to his parents to learn about his situation. We found that he was speechless from his birth. His parents shared that they believed in Jesus as did Asit. We shared the gospel scriptures from Matthew with them and joined in prayer. We, the team members, placed our hands on Asit’s head and shoulders praying deeply in the living name of Jesus for our Lord to show His love and righteousness through Asit’s healing. After our prayer, we requested the parents of Asit to give thanks to Jesus for blessing their son.

When we started showing the Film, the people sat watching with respect regarding the story of Jesus' life. People started to come and ask questions about what they had seen. When we asked if anyone wanted to pray about their lives, almost everyone present came forward. We prayed for their needs. It was an extraordinary experience to see how God touched their lives."

"I slept in the streets," said Don in Guatemala. "All the money I earned at work was spent at the bar so I would spend the entire night sleeping out in the cold.

She said, 'There is no god for me!' We told her to believe in Christ, who can take away our sorrows. At last, we prayed for her and for her family and left encouraging her to trust in Jesus. Two weeks later, the young women came rushing to us filled with joy! She said, 'Your God hears the prayers of the helpless and needy people. A Christian sister in the other country helped my husband get a visa and a good job.' We joined her in praising God for answered prayers."

"I was tormented by the devil," said Sakoua in Benin, Africa. "Each Friday evening for three years I had hallucinations about people coming to get me. These visions upset me very much. When I heard about the JESUS Film coming to the area I was afraid to go. The local pastor invited me to watch the film so I did. It was through the JESUS Film that I met my Lord and was delivered. I know that Jesus has the power to chase away demons, cure diseases, and raise people from the dead. I give glory to God because the Lord visited me during prayer. Indeed after the prayer, I looked around and the hallucinations were gone. Since coming to know Jesus, I no longer have strange visions anymore. Now, I and my family are with Jesus!"

My heart melted as I received the love of Christ. I accepted Him as my Savior. From that day, I realized my responsibility as a father and as a husband.

The JESUS Film team members are like angels to me."

I am not even attracted to things as I was before."

"One family started a new church," said the team member in Bangladesh. "After watching the film, some people started discussing the miracles they had seen, and the death and resurrection of Jesus. Poresh was standing on the side and wanted to talk with us. He said, ‘I realize I need Jesus in my life. Please help me to follow Him as my Lord and Savior!’ We prayed with him. Then we went back to his home where he cried and fell at his father’s and mother’s feet apologizing for his mischievous way of life. We prayed for all of them and left. Three days later Poresh’s father told us, ‘Thank you for the message you conveyed to us. This has changed our family. From now on we want to follow Jesus together.’ From this one family, a new church has started in the area."

"Glory to God, Glory to God, Jesus healed me!" testified Marcela in Nicaragua.

In the afternoon of this same day, I heard speakers on a pickup that announced they where going to present the movie Magdalena. I did not know what this movie was about. After watching the movie, the team made a prayer of faith. I went forward in faith. When they came to me, I had to make signs with my hands as I was not able to speak. To my surprise, during the presentation of the JESUS Film, my voice had returned. The team told me to give glory to God and my first words were, 'Glory to God, Glory to God, Jesus healed me.' The doctors had determined I would never talk again, but there is nothing impossible for God. God is all powerful."

The greatest blessing that we received that night was that the owner of the house where we showed the film gave his heart to our Lord Jesus Christ. He had been an alcoholic. The family told us later that his life had completely changed. He is faithful in attending all the meetings at church. We give God thanks because only He makes this kind of change in people."

"Vobes had been ill with fever for three months," said the team member in India. "We were taken to a nearby house where we met Vobes laying on the veranda.

As we prayed, we felt Vobes body temperature coming down gradually. We felt the presence of our Lord's Spirit and we continued to pray. He got up and sat on his bed. After seeing this, his wife started crying and said, 'Dear brothers, this is the first time in many days my husband doesn't have any fever and he is able to get up from the bed.

That same day, I accepted the gift of eternal life through Christ after watching the JESUS Film. When I saw the life of Christ, I was astounded to know someone much more powerful than the witchcraft that I controlled. I gave my life completely to Him and decided to follow Him. Now the brothers are discipling me and my life continues to change every day."

"My brother and five friends made the decision to follow Christ," said Teddy in Peru. "I was invited to see the JESUS Film with my friend.

I could not stop thinking about it. The next day, I went to the church to talk with the pastor. The pastor told me about Jesus, and I decided to give my life to Christ.

Seeing the film, I was impacted the moment when the blind man, Bartimaeus, walked toward Jesus shouting 'Jesus, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!' Jesus asked him, 'What do you want me to do for you?' 'I want to see,' he answered. 'Receive your vision,' said the Lord and the blind man was able to see. In this moment, I put my faith in Jesus Christ. He healed me from my bleeding and I received Him as my Lord and Savior. Now I meet with others to advance my knowledge of the Lord and of His Word."

"They both cried and forgave each other," said 13 year old Ayneet in Pakistan. "Two families lived in our house; my uncle's wife and children lived with us. My mother and aunt would fight as would the children of each family. There was no peace in the house. We went to watch the JESUS Film. When we saw Jesus forgive the sins of others, my mother was prompted in her heart to forgive my aunt. They both requested forgiveness. We all cried, giving thanks to the Lord.

"I heard God say, 'Why do you persecute me?'" said U Hla in Myanmar. "I was a follower of the prominent religious group. I tried to disrupt the fellowship meeting of the believers in Christ.

We had a large crowd for the showing, and 16 people became new believers in Christ."

"I did not want believers in Christ to come to my village," said Maung in Myanmar. "My family worshiped many idols and was against followers of Christ. The JESUS Film team showed the movie many times in my village and some people believed in Jesus. One of the team members spent time telling me about the Lord. We had many discussions. I finally accepted Jesus as my Savior. I have peace and joy in my heart. My parents and relatives are not supportive of my new beliefs. Please pray for me to grow spiritually."

"My only daughter, Joina, has been sick for several weeks," said Lobano in Bangladesh.

"Jesus is the only one who can make peace in our house," cried Mrs. Halwiindi in Zambia. "We watched the JESUS Film half-heartedly and expected nothing to happen.

Now we are both believers in Jesus Christ as our personal Savior."

"I am happy today that the Lord lives in my heart," said Amaro in Nicaragua. vWhen I saw the JESUS Film, it occurred to me that Jesus died for my sins on the cross. I surrendered myself to the Lord Jesus Christ, and He has pardoned all my sins. Thanks to God and to the JESUS Film, I am in the church, and I feel free of my shame."

Now the woman and her baby daughter, Lucia, are part of the fellowship of believers."

"My husband died of liver cancer," said Mrs. Esquivel in Peru. "My husband became a believer before he died. Prior to giving my life to Jesus, I was the kind of person that laughed at Christians; I use to think that they were silly people. When I accepted Jesus as my Savior, I asked for forgiveness. Now, I understand the love of God. I want to give thanks to Jesus because He gave me life. I too have been diagnosed with cancer. I have hope in Jesus."

"Little children can reveal the secrets of God," said the 71-year-old Masai tribe elder. According to the team member in Tanzania, the tribe elder watched the JESUS Film and was fascinated with the wisdom and intelligence of Jesus as a child when He was in Jerusalem with His parents. As he watched more of the film, he realized that God can choose little children to reveal His secrets. He gave his life to Jesus, professed publicly his love for God, and is now attending Bible services.

"When I saw Jesus healing the people my faith increased," said the Rehan in Pakistan. "I was suffering because my joints hurt so bad I could hardly stand. I spent a lot of time and money seeking a cure. I heard about the JESUS Film showing in my area, and I went. I was depressed because of my pain, but as I saw Jesus heal people I began to feel better. I put my hope and faith in Jesus. The JESUS Film team prayed for me, and I was healed in a supernatural way by Christ. I praise God for all He has done for me. May God bless the JESUS Film teams who preach the gospel throughout the world."

"I did not hesitate to become a believer," said Felipe in Guatemala. "I attended a kind of religious service but did not know about Christ.

The message continues being spread like a seed in good ground. The people are receiving Christ as their Savior and the churches are growing."

"I gave my life to Jesus at 65 years old," said Luisa in Bolivia. "I did not know the message of the love of Jesus. Now, I have given my life to the Lord, and I feel very happy and content to be a daughter loved by Christ. I did not understand many things. When I or a family member became sick, I thought it was because of a curse, and I sought the help of the sorcerers. Now I know that only Jesus heals, and I will be faithful to Him until the last day of my life. Thank you for presenting the Jesus Film."

"Their home has become a house church," said the team member in the Philippines. "We thank God for Bacsal who agreed to open his home to the JESUS Film showing. His home is now a house church for the area. From this house, an adult Bible study is offered and there is ministry to children as well."

"It took two hours for the demons to be defeated," said the team member in Kenya. "After the JESUS Film showing, Gachogu raised her hand and walked to the front shaking. She said she had been practicing witchcraft in the village and was well known. She asked for help. It became a battle of prayer to send the evil spirits away from the woman. It took about two hours for the demons to be defeated by the power of God. Fear first, then courage followed as men of God became victors. Gachogu accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior. This incident led 40 others in her village to give their hearts to Jesus as their Lord."

"The snake goddess wanted the life of the people," said the village official in Bangladesh. "When our people were bitten by snakes our religious leaders didn’t allow us to take them to a doctor. They said if we try to cure the people the snake goddess would get angrier. Now we can see that it is wrong for us to worship the snake. It is only Jesus who can help us. From now on, I will tell all people of this locality that we should not worship the snake goddess any more."

"I was going through a very difficult time," said Eduardo in Guatemala."For me the JESUS Film was a great blessing, because I was facing a trial in my life. After watching the film, I made the decision to accept Jesus in my heart. I felt a hole in life had been filled, and now I am a new creation."

"He was a drunkard at 16," said the team member in the Philippines. "Ponse was filled with vices even though he was young. He was among 12 teenagers accepting Christ as their only hope and Savior following the JESUS Film showing. These new believers are being discipled by the youth leaders in the area and are active in church activities."

"We had a difficult battle," said the team member in Cuba. "We were showing the JESUS Film in a difficult place where the people use magic and call on bad spirits. We had to pray very hard during the movie to fight off the evil. It was a difficult battle, but Jesus helped us and to His glory 34 people accepted the Lord."

"At the call to go forward, I went with fear," said Christine in Bolivia. "I was invited to the JESUS Film showing by my friends. We watched the film in Spanish. I could hardly believe how the Son of God was treated. I never imagined what God had done for all mankind. When I went forward to accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior, I was afraid because of my sins. I still think about the movie scenes often. I am attending church meetings. I ask for your prayers for me."

"I had a bad attitude about church" said a man in Nigeria. "I believed the church did wrong things but the night I saw the JESUS Film my heart changed. I realized how much Jesus has already done for me. He paid the supreme price for my sins. I saw Him forgive sinners, and I am sure He forgave me as I confessed and repented. I cried for His mercy. He will wipe away my tears. Everything in the world is vanity to me now. I wish to worship and serve Him alone. I am confident He will direct my steps for success."

"Our only daughter has suffered over a year with epileptic problems," said Haripado in Bangladesh. Haripado and his wife testified, "We believe Jesus is God, because He gave life to dead people. Jesus is the only true God. He has the supreme power to make everything possible in this world. Pray for our daughter." The team member said, "We laid hands on the daughter and prayed with tears for her healing. At one point, she fainted. We told the parents not to worry as we continued in earnest prayer. We could tell God was healing her. We gave her water to drink and offered a prayer of thanksgiving to the Lord."

"We were not sure God could save us," said brothers Carlos and Alfredo in Guatemala. "We decided to accept Jesus as our Savior, but we were unsure we could be saved. Today we are believers thanks to the JESUS Film and brothers in the area who discipled us."

“The prostitute took her parents to church,” said the team member in Malawi. “The JESUS Film is a powerful tool. We go to areas where the people have never heard anything about Jesus before. We showed the film in one area for four days; many became new believers. One of them was Gama who was a prostitute. After hearing God’s words through the JESUS Film, she gave her life to Christ and took her dad and mom to church with her.“

“Your prayers will help us move forward,” said Carlos in Guatemala. “I give thanks to God for the opportunity He gave me to know Him through the JESUS Film. I accepted Him as my sufficient Savior. Today, I attend church, help the pastor, and I lead a Bible study in my community. Please pray for us as we move forward and reach out to the lost.”

“I now fellowship with other believers in Christ,” said Lwin in Myanmar. “I use to be a prominent religious leader in my community. After watching the JESUS Film several times during the month and talking with the team members, I accepted Jesus as my personal Savior. Please pray for me to grow spiritually. I now want to be a religious leader for Jesus to my people.”

“I was afraid because of the bad things in the world but now I believe in Jesus” said 12-year-old Jennifer in Peru. “I want to give thanks to God because I received Jesus as my personal Savior. I no longer fear the things of the world and I want to live a life to faithful to my Lord.”

“I felt a strong pull in my heart,” said Dante in the Dominican Republic. “When I saw Jesus on the cross, I felt something very strong in my heart. I did not know what to do until the JESUS Film team gave an opportunity to respond at the end of the show. I knew I needed to accept Christ as my Lord and Savior.”

God is in control of the harvest! Last week, we reported 351 JESUS Film teams would be active in 2009. Though the global economy is difficult, believers are stepping up to reach the lost with the love of God. This past week, we received registrations for 9 additional JESUS Film teams this year, making the new JESUS Film team total 360—a 12% increase in the number of JESUS Film teams from 2008! This step of faith by JESUS Film team leadership shows that God is greater than the economy and in control of the harvest!

“Mzee was a witchdoctor,” said the team member in Kenya. “Mzee was a lonely man; his adult children were upset with his lifestyle and the people of the community did not associate with him. He attended one of the JESUS Film shows and when the altar call was given, he accepted Christ into his life. He was so changed by the experience; he donated a piece of his land for the construction of a church. Mzee is now in fellowship with his family and his neighbors. He is thankful for the JESUS Film and the work of the JESUS Film team in his village. We thank God for the work He is doing, changing lives through the JESUS Film.”

“Bijoy arrived with a gang of angry young men,” said the team member in Bangladesh. “They threatened to beat us and destroy the JESUS Film equipment if we didn’t stop the show. We were very afraid. We stopped the film and prayed silently for our safety and for the young men to change their minds. As we prayed, Bijoy’s older brother arrived; he apologized for his brother and made the band of young men disperse so, we resumed the showing. At the end of the show, Bijoy’s brother returned and asked us to go to his home where Bijoy was experiencing severe stomach pain. We went and prayed for Bijoy; God provided healing. Bijoy was humbled by the events. We shared the gospel with his entire family and rejoice to report the whole family has accepted Christ!

“The people in the village live an evil life,” said the team member in Malawi. “The villagers are fishermen and live in darkness. The senior village chief allowed us to show the JESUS Film. The people were excited to see a film for the first time. At the end of the show, many responded to God’s call and gave their lives to Jesus. We were excited when the senior chief opened his home for a church to be started in his house. Because of his position in the community, many people have responded.”

“They fight off the mosquitoes and adore their Lord,” said the team member in Colombia. “Reaching one village which we had never visited before started with a 12-hour journey by river boat followed by an hour walk. The area was challenging because of security issues and hordes of mosquitoes making it difficult to do any work. Colombia is ripe for harvest and the work of the Lord won’t be stopped. During the days, we visited with families and held workshops, and twice a week, we showed the JESUS Film. As a result, 25 people became new believers in Christ and started meeting as a church. Though the people constantly fight away mosquitoes, nothing keeps them from meeting together and receiving the Word of the Lord. Their enthusiasm is incredible and their church services last more than two hours!”

“Her parents were spiritualists,” said a team member in Cuba. “An 8-year-old girl’s parents dedicated her to their religion.On that same day, she was invited and went to view the Story of JESUS for Children (the children’s version of the JESUS Film). We were moved when we saw how deeply she was impacted during the showing. When we gave the invitation to receive Christ, she was the first to get up and walk to the front to receive Jesus as her Savior. She told us she wanted her parents to know Christ too.”

“The rain stopped! Praise God for answered prayer!” said Nemie in the Philippines. “The rain stopped exactly at the time the JESUS Film showing was to begin. The location was very wet but the people still came to see JESUS. Many accepted Christ as their Lord and Savior as they recognized their sin. These people are now attending a Bible study to learn more about Jesus. “

“She had been possessed by evil spirits,” said the team member in Kenya. “Susi, a young girl of thirteen years, could not calm herself because she was possessed by evil spirits that kept her from going to school. Susi said, ‘I have no peace; I don’t know what to do.’ She attended several JESUS Film showings and we prayed for her at the altar. We visited with her family and shared the good news of Jesus who delivers sinners and drives away demons. Susi fell on her knees and we prayed for her salvation and deliverance from the spirits. The following Sunday, she attended the church service and testified that she was free from the spirits and is well because of the name of Jesus Christ.”

“One group was persecuted by a larger religious group,” said the team leader in Bangladesh. “We went to a small village where one religious group dominated. The lesser group suffered mental abuse from the more aggressive group. We were able to show the JESUS Film on the side of a house. The oppressed villagers expressed surprise at the work and the loving nature of Jesus even when afflicted. They asked many questions about the life of Christ. Many were encouraged and strengthened to know that Jesus loves and helps the poor people. Several became new believers that day and are now serving our Lord.”

“The JESUS Film showed a big example of love,” said Pedro in Peru. “I was having many troubles in my family. I went to see the JESUS Film and I liked it very much. I saw Jesus demonstrate great love. When I asked Jesus to be my Lord, I felt something special happen in my heart when I prayed. God forgave my sins. Now I want to have a new relationship with my family.”

“Over 1000 people watched the film,” said the team member in Zambia. After the film, Reverend Kachaka preached the message of salvation which touched many lost souls. One 78 year old man gave his life to Jesus. He said, ‘My life was bad because I used to drink and smoke. Today the message of salvation through Jesus Christ changed my life.’ He asked the team to pray for him.”

“I was fighting with my wife and abusing my children,” said Waris in Pakistan. “My friends were a bad influence; I smoked and used drugs. Our home situation was getting worse. I was disheartened. One day, I was invited to see the JESUS Film. Though tired and uninterested, I did not want to be at home either so I went. As I watched the film, I felt myself begin to change with each passing minute. I started weeping and decided to choose Jesus and to love my wife and children. I cannot believe the change in me. I am thankful to the members of the JESUS film team. They helped me become a better person through Christ.”

“Years ago, we were struck hard by the hurricanes; however, the hand of God was with us,” said Elias a team member in Guatemala. “God was faithful and saved us. Now we share the Gospel through the JESUS Film so others will know His love and salvation.”

“Please pray for our safety and ministry,” said the team member in Nepal. “We are in danger much of the time because we show the JESUS Film in an area heavily populated with a dominant religious group. At one showing, a priest interrupted the film yelling that we were spoiling the Nepalese culture with this religion. He told us to stop showing the film, but so many people were watching the film that we did not want to stop it. Finally, one of the men stood up and told the priest to either sit and watch the film or leave. The priest silently disappeared from the crowd.”

“Mr. Govindaiah was suffering from back pain for many months,” said the team member in India. After Mr. Govindaiah saw the film, he asked for prayer. He said because of seeing the film he had faith in Jesus to heal him. We prayed together and in later follow up discovered Mr. Govindaiah is no longer suffering from back pain. Praise the Lord!”

“I have decided to follow the path of the Lord for the rest of my life," said Brother Jorge from Bolivia. “My wife and children went to church for several years; I did not go for many reasons. When I saw the life of Jesus in the film, I felt my heart change and I asked God to forgive me.”

"I know Jesus is calling me to teach His word,” said 12 year old Oswell in Suriname. During the altar call Oswell gave his heart to the Lord Jesus Christ. He said, “I want to live for Him now because tonight He made Himself real to me. Tomorrow I must tell my friends I gave my heart to Jesus.”

“God indeed is at work with the new mission church planting ministry,” said the team member in the Philippines. “We have JESUS Film showings in homes. As a result of these showings, new mission churches have been started. Bible studies are held in many homes. Many new people are coming to the services even though there is no church building.”

“I have not had a drink of alcohol since that day,” said the new believer in Guatemala. “I was an alcoholic, always telling myself I had to stop drinking, but could not do it. One evening, I collapsed. My wife brought the pastor to our house to pray for me. The pastor gave me an invitation to accept Jesus, but I said no. The next weekend, when several people invited me to see the JESUS Film, I went to see it. When I saw the miracles Jesus did, I went to the front crying and asked Jesus into my heart.”

“He was ready to learn everything to become a warrior for Christ,” said the team member from Kenya. “The 65 years old man had never heard of Christ until he saw the JESUS Film. After watching the film and hearing the story of Jesus’ life, the man was ready for a drastic change in his own life. When the altar call was made he accepted Christ in his life. He said that he was ready to learn everything to become warrior for Christ, something he had never dreamed was possible.”

“With God’s help we were able to show the film in several homes,” said the team member in Uruguay, South America. “The JESUS Film made such an impact in our lives that we went door to door offering to show the film in homes. We asked the host to invite at least ten people to the showing. In just one month the Sunday School grew, six new teens were added to the young people's group, and over 12 people were received into the church with a warm welcome, all by profession of faith. These believers formed a new preaching point in the neighborhood. We praise God for the Jesus Film.”

“I cried out to the Lord, ‘Have mercy on me. I am a sinner,’” said Samuel a new believer in Pakistan. “I praise God that Jesus saved my soul. I saw the JESUS Film in my village. The teachings, miracles, and crucifixion touched me so much that I cried out to the Lord to have mercy on me. I asked God to please forgive me and I surrendered my life to Jesus. Then I prayed to receive Christ. I want to be a vessel used for God’s glory. I thank God I am now saved. God bless you for the great ministry which is saving many souls.”

“My father beat me until I bled,” said Sarela in Peru, “so when I was 15 years old, I went to live with my boyfriend and we had two children together. We were together a long time but started to drink and cheat on each other. However, God’s love is big. I met Pastor Rodriguez and he invited me to see the JESUS Film. The film let me know about God’s love for me. I could feel God's love and I accepted Jesus into my heart. Now I give thanks to God. I am very happy I decided to change my life and serve Him. Please help me pray for my family.”

“They are accepting Christ after hearing the Word,” said Pastor Tefeva in Ethiopia. “People are coming to listen to the Proclaimer Audio Bible. Many who attend are new believers and are interested in listening to the Bible in their own language. Others who come to listen are non-believers and are accepting Jesus Christ after hearing the Word.” Initial reports indicate over 2,100 people were in the listening groups in Ethiopia.

“I praise God that Jesus saved my soul,” said Samuel in Pakistan. “I saw the JESUS Film in my village.

Make me a vessel that is used for your glory.’ Then I prayed to receive Christ. Thank God I am saved now. God bless you for this great ministry which is saving many souls.”

“After seeing Jesus heal demon-possessed people, she requested prayer,” said the team member in Malawi. “We thank God for how He helped Mrs. Jenala who was demon-possessed. She asked Jesus to heal her and now she is set free. After the villagers witnessed her freedom from demon possession with their own eyes, they praised the Lord and many gave their lives to Jesus. Others brought their children to receive prayer. We thank God for what He has done. A small church has been planted in this village. We believe and are praying for this new branch to grow!”

“The council had given instructions to stop us from showing the JESUS Film at all cost - even if it meant putting us in jail,” said the team member in the Philippines. “We were frustrated because we were planning to go to a certain village to show the JESUS Film. The vehicle was packed and ready to go but after searching several locations for the keys, we could not find them. Finally, we sent a message to the pastor to let him know of our troubles and made arrangements to go the next day. When we arrived at the village, the pastor told us the village council had decided not to allow us to show the film the night before and authorities had been instructed to prevent the showing, even if they had to put us in jail. We were able to show the JESUS Film that night in a home. We praise God for His protection by hiding the keys from our eyes. When we returned home, we found the keys in a coffee mug which we had previously checked. God indeed works in mysterious ways.”

“They rushed toward us with the child and asked for prayer,” said a team member from India. “Ten year old Aswani was suffering from severe stomach pains. Her parents came to us and asked us to pray. When we saw the faith of the parents, we prayed for the child and her stomach pain disappeared.”

“My life was covered in darkness and I was about to kill myself to get rid of all the bad things,” said James in Pakistan. “Though I was born in a Christian family, I used alcohol and drugs and did not know Christ. When the film started, I saw Jesus perform many amazing miracles and it made me feel good. Then the soldiers began to beat Jesus and crucify Him. He said on the cross, ‘Father, forgive them, they do not know what they are doing.’ His words left a beautiful impression upon my life. During the film, Jesus also said, ‘Repent and your sins will be washed away.’ That night, I accepted Jesus and am now living with Him in my heart. I stopped using alcohol and drugs and am now a proud son of the living God through Jesus’ sacrifice.”

     Praise God for taking James from the darkness to the light of Christ.

“I was part of a gang,” said 15 year old Catherine in Peru. “My parents were distressed because of my actions. I never wanted to obey them and did bad things. Though I pretended to be happy, I was never at peace. I was so unhappy and had many problems. One day, a Christian friend invited me to see the JESUS Film. I thought it would be just like any other movie but I recognized that Jesus Christ died for me on the cross. I asked Him to be my personal Savior and now I have peace in my heart - thanks to God!

     Praise God for Catherine’s new life in Christ.

“The church was blessed with seven children making a decision of faith,” said a team member from the Dominican Republic. “We give thanks to our God for each one of the Jesus Film showings this month. We have seen how the church was blessed and how God touched the young people in a very special way.”

   Pray for these children as they grow in their lives with Christ.

“We felt she was possessed by a demon,” said the team member from Bangladesh. At the JESUS Film showing Robin shared, “My wife is in serious trouble. She can't sleep and sometimes wakes up screaming, or making grumbling sounds. Then she starts trembling and crying. We took her to the village doctors and local charmers, but it is getting worse day by day. I saw Jesus cure many people in the film. I believe He is God and can do everything in answer to prayer. Please pray for my wife that she will be cured.” The team leader said, “We laid hands on her and started praying for her healing. We felt she was possessed by a demon and commanded the demon to leave Robin’s wife in the mighty name of Jesus. Robin testifies, "I fully believe that Jesus has cured my wife completely. Jesus is God indeed!”

“Samwel and John were very young but had a problem with alcohol,” said the team member from Kenya. “They victoriously gave their lives to Christ and publicly testified to burying their old way of life and starting anew.

“I am ashamed and hurt to tell all that I have done with my life,” said Marco from Ecuador. “For many years, I was in bad relationships with women, selling myself for money. I immediately spent all I earned on vices such as alcohol, drugs, and gambling. I tried to change my life by my own efforts. I married and had two children, but it wasn’t long before I was doing the same old things and deceiving my family. One day, I watched the JESUS Film in my neighborhood. At the end of the show, I wanted to respond to the call but didn’t move. I returned home thinking about what I had seen. Desperate, I set aside my shame and contacted the brothers from the church that showed the film. They prayed for me and helped me to grow spiritually. For the past four years, I have faithfully attended the house of the Lord.”

“Most of my people are of another faith and go to the temple every Saturday to pay homage to god,” shares Khaw in Myanmar. “I was not satisfied with my life. One day, I was invited to watch the JESUS Film. I asked the film worker about the life of Christ. He explained the Bible to me and I accepted Christ as my Savior. I have found peace and have joined a fellowship group. I got a Burmese Bible and study it daily. I am the only carpenter in my village and am working to build a church.”

“The diagnosis showed that she was HIV positive” said the woman from the remote village in Kenya. After the JESUS Film showing, the woman came forward to testify that she had ruined her life with promiscuity. She was never concerned about the health of the men she dated until she got sick. The test performed by the doctor confirmed she was HIV positive. The results devastated her and she saw no hope for living. During the show, she felt the urge to accept Christ in her life. The JESUS Film team reports, she now meets with others in the village who are HIV positive and she is attending membership classes to join the church.

“She stood up and was able to walk,” said the team member. No church existed in the small Panama community where the JESUS Film was presented. A young girl, Lisseth, was healed that day. The team member said, “Lisseth was confined to her bed for three months with intense pain. This day they brought her in a wheel chair (to the film showing) and she stood up and was able to walk. Now, Lisseth’s home is used for a weekly prayer meeting. God is doing marvelous things and the people are deepening their commitments with the Lord.”

“The love of God is lived out, not only preached,” said a man in Nicaragua. “Today I am thankful for the presence of our church. It brings a love to the community I have not seen before. Our small community is in an isolated area and full of needs. I appreciate the church’s positive impact on my family too. Thank you.”

A team member from the Solomon Islands shares, “After the (JESUS Film) show Ezekiel came forward drunk but found the Master! Ezekiel was disruptive and frustrated.

Some of these young men are preparing to attend Bible College.”

Please remember these young men in your prayers.

“Sardar from Pakistan shares “I was completely involved in evil practices. I knew many magic spells and earned a living performing black magic. When I learned of the JESUS Film showing, I went to stop it using my spells. I tried for an hour but my magic failed so I watched the film. Seeing the miracles and the crucifixion shook me as I watched. I went to a JESUS Film team member and surrendered my ornaments and other instruments of magic. Then I prayed to receive Christ as my Savior. I praise God for a great blessing through the JESUS Film.”

Pray for those entangled in the grip of black magic.

“At the end of the film I was the first to respond to the call of the pastor where I gave my life without reserve to the Lord. Immediately I received extraordinary joy and also an assurance,” shares Nina from Africa. “My coming to the JESUS Film showing was truly accidental. I felt alone because of a situation I experienced with my husband. The situation can be explained by the crisis in our family that we experienced after our marriage. I felt truly alone and I was walking to the area where the film was being shown. First, I was welcomed by the warmth and the joy that animated the film. Secondly, I had a sense of sharing and a sense of confidence that followed. I am thankful for the joy I received.”

Pray for Nina as she grows in her walk with Christ and faces difficulties in her marriage.

“Her two kidneys were diseased and doctors said she could not be cured,” shares a team member in Sri Lanka. “A 56 years old woman came to watch the JESUS film. She had severe kidney damage. As she watched Jesus Christ’s life story, she believed his miracles. Shortly after the film showing, the woman was told she only had days to live. Her relatives asked for prayer. A group gathered to pray for the woman and was told a few days later the woman was healed - what a miracle!”

Praise God for answering the prayers of this woman in Sri Lanka.

Isidora from Nicaragua shares, “When I saw the JESUS Film for the first time, I was able to see how our Lord Jesus Christ suffered on the cross of Calvary for our sake. It was in this way that the movie impacted my life so much and I am sure he died for my sins on the cross. Today, I am a free person in Jesus Christ because He saved my life, taking me out of the miry clay. I tell others that have not seen the JESUS Film that they need to see it since God talks through this film.”

Pray for the new believers in Nicaragua.

“Two months ago the church was about to be shut down," reported as team member in Guatemala. ”But I took on the task of restoring it.

Pray for the efforts of this new leader and the continued strengthening of the new mission church.

“Amazingly all the spots in her lungs had disappeared, she was healed!” testified a team member from Argentina. "Esther came to see the JESUS Film but was very sick. She came even though her lungs were bad and she was having a lot of pain in her back. She saw all of the film and during the invitation to accept Christ as personal Savior, she decided to receive Him that night. Afterwards, prayer was offered for her healing. After her miraculous healing, her doctor released her. Esther’s faith in Christ has strengthened and today she is a faithful Christian serving the Lord and testifying to the miracle God did in her life, both salvation and physical healing.”

Praise God for the healing that has taken place in Esther’s life and for her witness to others.

“It was raining somewhat that afternoon, but God was on the move,” recalled a team member in Suriname.” As we were showing the JESUS Film, an intoxicated man came in and sat very calmly. At the end of the film, he came up for prayer and people were laughing at him. He repeated the sinner’s prayer and shook our hands. It is amazing how each Sunday he comes to church and a change is still seen in him. God’s Holy Spirit is moving in an amazing way that we can’t understand at times.”

Pray for the team in Suriname as they continue to minister through the JESUS Film.

“I was a magic man, I used to guess the future of people and sometimes I was lying,” confessed Albertina in Mozambique. “One day a friend of mine invited me to watch the JESUS Film. She invited me from the first day until the last day of the showings. On the second day, I asked Jesus into my heart and accepted him as my Lord and Savior. I have decided to follow Jesus for the rest of my life. I thank Jesus for showing me the right way. I asked the team to pray for me and the rest of my family because they are still living in the darkness.”

Pray for Albertina as he finds new direction in his life through Christ.

I could not be relieved from my addiction in spite of many medications. One day, the JESUS Film was shown in our area. After watching the film, a new interest arose in me - that in spite of me being a sinner, the Lord still wanted to save me! The Lord did save me and after watching the film, my mind was never moved to intoxication and I became well. My whole family’s life was changed.”

Praise the Lord for what he has done to make this family new!

“He heard that we were carrying God in our carriage,” reported a team member in Sudan. “They stopped us as we were preparing to board the boat to the main town, where we had planned to show the JESUS Film. They had heard of some people who would be coming to show the film. So the village elder, James, who was sick, asked his guards to stop us so we could show the film in his compound. When we arrived at his home, we explained to him everything about Jesus. That night James gave his life to Jesus. On our way back we were told that he died two days after he had received Jesus as his personal Savior. “

Praise God for the redemption of James before his death.

"The Nueva Vida Church has been praying for the town of Bonilla for a long time," reported a team member in Uruguay. "This month a lay pastor, Roberto, and a group of leaders from the church were able to go there. They showed the JESUS Film with complete success. More than six families regularly attend this new mission church. God is doing great miracles there. Gabriela is one of those miracles of God. She left her life full of vices for a life totally transformed by God."

     Praise the Lord for the ministry of the 'mother' church and the start of a new mission church!

“We picked up a lady on the road who was ill and on her way to a medical clinic,” shared a team member in Cuba. “When we recently went to show the film we began to share the plan of salvation with her, including the fact that God could save her soul and heal her body. We prayed for her to be saved and prayed for healing. She was touched by what she heard and accepted the Lord. He is faithful to His children. She was saved and healed when we dropped her off. We give God thanks for the opportunity to carry the good news of salvation to all people who are without God and without hope. Glory to God!”

     Praise the Lord for this team's sensitivity to minister to everyone they encounter!

“The priest expressed how much he was impressed by the JESUS Film,” testified a team member in Nepal. “There were two hundred people watching the JESUS Film at the showing in this town. The next day, after the film, we went to the house of the priest for the follow-up program and explained to him in detail about Jesus. He is now much more positive towards the Gospel, though he has not yet given his life to Christ. However, one of his houses is being used for fellowship!”

     Pray that this priest will accept Jesus Christ as his Savior.

"When we saw him come we were sure he was up to something," reported a team member in Kenya. "Aghai was a drug trafficker and had once been in a gang. He couldn't do anything without taking drugs. This led to a breakup in his family. The days he came to the showings were only to cause an interruption. Then one day he arrived and sat quietly and watched the film. He started crying and when an altar call was made, he accepted Christ into his life. He was very apologetic for all he had done and asked everyone to forgive him, most of all his wife and children. He said that his reputation had already been spoiled and he would try as much as he could to repair it with the help of Christ. He is now taking membership classes because he says he needs to be with people who will help him overcome his past deeds."

Pray for Aghai as he continues with his new Christian walk and for his family to be reunited.

“Jesus is the true wine,” testified a man in Pakistan. “My name is Iqbal. I am 29 yrs old. I used to drink alcohol almost everyday. Eventually, problems began with my lungs. My doctors told me to quit drinking alcohol, but this was almost impossible for me. One day, the JESUS Film team came to our village. I attended the show and when I saw Jesus give wine to the disciples and say, 'This is My blood which will be shed for your sins', and then give the bread and say,' This is My body which will be given for you', I felt that I shouldn’t drink alcohol. Instead I took the blood of Christ and the body of Christ. Miraculously, I left alcohol and become a believer.”

Praise the Lord that Igbal has found his true sustenance in Christ.

"I have been given the New Testament and I read it daily. I am trying to live my life according to the scriptures – this is what I promised to Jesus," testified Tukaram, a man from India. "When I first saw the JESUS Film, I liked it. I felt I should watch it again. I was surprised to see the miracles performed by Jesus. I could see how important this film is to help us know how we should live and help others. While I was watching this film, I thought I should accept Jesus. Prior to watching the JESUS Film, I was a person who would not believe in the existence of God. When I saw this film my thoughts changed. It showed me that Jesus is alive and present on this earth and He has victory over death. I believe there is no salvation without Jesus.”

Pray for Tukaram as he continues to study the New Testament and grow in faith.

"I was someone without hope for my kids. I was walking with nowhere to go," shared Gabriela in Peru. "I am a single mother. My life was uncertain and I didn't know what to do with it. I had many problems with my family and other people. I want to say thanks to God because during Holy week He made it possible that I could see the JESUS Film. I gave my life to Him. I am a new person, a new woman, with new hope. Jesus gave me a new life. He has forgiven me and through Him I have peace."

Praise the Lord for the future that Gabriela and her children now have in Christ.

"I am grateful for Pastor Ruben and all the church people who lend a hand in my neighborhood," testified a believer from Argentina. "We are very pleased to have so much activity and support in the neighborhood. I opened my house for meetings. The JESUS Film team comes from far away to help reach new people in my neighborhood, bringing the Word so that many families might be changed. I know a lot of these people have great need. A lot of them are into drugs and crime but now I see them watching the JESUS Film. I know it won't be long before they are sitting in church. We will keep on preaching until all know the Lord."

Pray that this community continues to be receptive to the JESUS Film team.

"Today I am able to teach my son in the ways of the Lord, to help him in his belief, and to help him in Sunday school," acknowledged Fatima in Nicaragua. "I am 22 years old. I have a son that is two years old and I have attended the Church of the Nazarene in my neighborhood sometimes. I have not helped much to instruct my son in the way of the Lord, because I have not had the Lord in my heart. One night when they showed the JESUS Film, I was able to see everything that the Lord suffered and all that was done to Him. These images impacted me and helped me to accept Jesus as my Lord. I gave Him my heart and asked Him to forgive my sins. I thanked Him for the sacrifice He made on the cross for me."

Praise the Lord for Fatima and her faith and willingness to lead her son in faith too.

"To sum it up, our first Sunday in Rwanda was great!" shared a team member from the Youth In Mission (YIM) group. "Our evening plan to show the JESUS Film at another rural Nazarene church led us on a half-hour walk through the field back to the highway to catch a van to the church. The film showing went smoothly. After it was shown in the local language, Kinyarwanda, about 30 people came forward to accept Jesus as their Savior for the first time."

     Praise the Lord for these students who are spending their summer in ministry.

"He has been rescued from this world," testified a ministry team member in Chile about fifty-nine year old Abelardo. "He has been separated from his wife for 25 years. He lost his home and has been living in poverty-stricken conditions due to alcohol. He has been a recipient of the compassionate ministries outreach of our church. He accepted the Lord after being impacted strongly by the life and sacrifice of Christ as demonstrated by the JESUS Film. Now his life has been changed. Now he is faithfully attending our church."

     Pray for Abelardo as he obeys the Lord to make lifestyle changes.

"God told me, 'Go and preach My Word, I will be with you, I will fight for you,'" shared a pastor from Cuba. A ministry team member reported: "During a conversation with the pastor he told me that he was very happy with the great and powerful impact that the JESUS Film had when we showed it. He testified that in one place he took us to, he had considered cancelling because he did not have a permit to work in the area, but in his heart he felt led to take us there. The pastor said God spoke directly to his heart about the spiritual need of that place. That night 33 people accepted Jesus, including the owners of the house. They have started a new mission church there. Now there are 45 people who gather."

     Praise the Lord for His faithfulness and for the new believers in this community.

“This lady was so thankful that she confessed her sins,” recalled a team member in Ghana. “During one of our meetings a lady testified how the whole community had been blessed by seeing and hearing Jesus speak to them in their own language. Because of this, she gave her life to Christ. She shared: 'I have personally been blessed to see the JESUS Film; it is a great teaching about Christ and holiness. My life has been touched and sanctified.'”

     Pray that many more will have the opportunity to hear Jesus speak in their own language and know Him.

“I was not living according to God’s plan,” testified a man in Guatemala. “I had been drinking the day I saw the JESUS Film. I wanted to go home, but I felt a very heavy burden upon my heart and sensed God calling me to stay and watch. When the pastor invited people forward to come to the Lord I said to myself, ‘I will not accept; they will not talk me into it.’ But before I knew it, I was standing in the front of the crowd giving my life to Christ. I never felt so much love in my life as I did that day. Praise the Lord, now I am saved!”

     Praise the Lord for His profound love and for this new brother in Christ!


Seventeen year old Tatiana shared her testimony with the ministry team in Nicaragua: "My parents are divorced and this brought much instability in my adolescent years. After coming to see the JESUS Film in this cell group, I gave my life to Jesus Christ. I went to see my father who has cirrhosis of the liver from alcohol in order to pray for him. He also made the decision to accept Jesus Christ as his personal Savior and now we are both receiving discipleship so that we can be baptized."

      Pray for the continued restoration of this family as they grow in Christ.

New equipment on its way to Bangladesh teams - Praise the Lord! Your prayers have been answered! A container of equipment that had been delayed has just cleared customs in Bangladesh and is now on its way to the JESUS Film teams. These teams are eager to replace their old 16 mm equipment. The new digital video projection equipment will significantly improve their already effective ability to share the Gospel and plant churches in Bangladesh. This picture shows the unloading of the container at the ministry office.

Please pray that the 20 sets of equipment will be successfully distributed to the teams so they can continue to reach those like Baben…

"After the show, the area was almost empty. I saw a person sitting in a corner crying," reported a team member. "I went to him and touched his shoulder. The man named Baben said, 'I am a great sinner. I have committed such great sins that I think God will never forgive me.' I put my hand on Baben’s shoulder and said, 'Brother, if you understand that you are a sinner, I encourage you to have faith in Jesus.' I read 1 John 1:9 and explained to him about confession to Jesus. Baben prayed with us and told me that he would help in our preaching work. He also asked that we visit his family. We went and his wife accepted Jesus as the Lord and Savior like her husband. After this Baben took us to some of his relatives’ houses and gave testimony about Jesus to them. We carried on with our preaching in the area and have been able to start a New Mission Church."

“I used to drink liquor to forget my hard life and the sadness I felt,” testified Juan in Peru. “I sell electronic products on the street. I was completely alone and without hope. One day as I was walking through the street, I saw people gathered to see a film. I stopped and joined them to watch the JESUS Film. At the end of the film, I was invited to accept Jesus into my heart and I said 'yes'. I now have a reason to live and enjoy my life! Jesus is my Savior and I am going to share Him with others.”

Praise God for filling Juan with His hope, purpose, and joy!

“Suddenly, while I was watching the JESUS Film, my eye was healed!” recalled a woman in India. “I was suffering blindness in one eye. I went to many doctors but they said they could not help me. I even went to a witch doctor who treated me with his medicine. However, nothing worked. I was very discouraged. One day, the JESUS Film team came to my village. I went to see the film. Others who were watching the film were all surprised when they saw that my eye had been healed because my past treatments had not worked. I am perfectly healed now! And all of my family has accepted Jesus!”

     Praise the Lord for His healing touch in this woman’s life and the lives of her family!

“When we began our evangelism, she was among the few who tried to criticize us,” testified a team member about a woman in Kenya. “This woman had suffered from severe stomach pain for years. For the three days [we were there], she snuck into the crowd each night to watch the film. After the last showing, she got up the courage to approach the team and speak with us about her life. That day she accepted Christ as her Savior. She now attends church services and has been healed from her stomach pains.”

     God is GOOD! Pray that God encourages His teams when they encounter criticism.

“I was looking for happiness but instead felt more and more guilty with no will to live,” testified Mariano in Ecuador. “I started drinking in social settings, but little by little I became addicted to alcohol. I couldn’t see the damage it was doing to my family until the day my wife and daughters left me. Ten years passed and I couldn’t recover. I thought about committing suicide. One day a friend invited me to an event at his church and I decided to go. God spoke to me through the pastor; I knew this was what I was looking for. Since then, Jesus has healed my wounds and I have peace in my heart. Now my new wife and I are part of the evangelistic team and we help show the JESUS Film. Glory to God!"

     Praise the Lord for the way He transforms lives! Pray God’s blessing on this church’s ministry.

“I felt like I was carrying a very heavy burden,” testified Ramiro in Guatemala. “When the JESUS Film was shown in our community I did not want to go forward to accept Jesus. After going home, I regretted not accepting the Lord. I thought, ‘It’s too late now, the JESUS Film crew already called it a day.’ The more I thought about it, the heavier the burden got. The next day while coming home from work, I saw the pastor. I explained to him what I had been going through and he told me Christ was calling me. He said Christ loves me. When he prayed for me, I no longer felt the burden. I have now opened my heart to Jesus; I know that He has forgiven me and saved me.”

     Praise the One who takes our burdens and gives new life!

“When we returned, we found that a church building had been built,” testified a team member in Cuba. “Some time ago, a woman named Cara gave her life to the Lord after seeing the JESUS Film. We had shown the film near a small house with a big patio. After the film Cara asked us to pray that her husband, who was in prison, would also find Christ. Much later we returned to find a church standing where the patio once was. To our surprise, we learned that the new pastor was Cara’s husband! Many of the new church members were those who had come to Christ during the JESUS Film showing. We give thanks to God for what He is doing through our ministry.”

     Praise the Lord for the salvation of Cara and her husband and this new church!

“John used his magic to create fear among the people in his community,” testified a team member in Sudan. “He was deeply involved in witchcraft and demon possessed. But one night after a JESUS Film showing, John came and knelt before the altar and cried ‘I am tired of my actions, Jesus is more powerful than anything I own. Please forgive me for what I have been doing.’ Those who witnessed this rejoiced. Six hundred people came to know the Lord that evening."

     Pray that John's witness will continue to be effective to those around him.

“When I saw Christ being crucified, I fell to my knees,” testified Antonia in Nicaragua. “I live across the street from the park. When the team came around inviting people to the JESUS Film, I decided not to go. Once the movie started, I took a chair and sat outside my house where I could see the movie. I watched all of it. After the movie, I asked forgiveness for my sins and for His help to resolve the problems in my life. The team members came and spoke with me a week later. I shared my story with them. I am now very happy to follow Christ.”

Praise the Lord for this new believer who first rejected the invitation!

“Jesus was crucified to save me,” testified Carlos in Mozambique. “I was invited by a team member to come see the JESUS Film. At first I rejected the invitation but later decided to see the film. It was so marvelous to be there that night. What impressed me most was to see Jesus healing people who believed in Him. He also took care of the poor people. I have no doubt that Jesus is my personal Savior. I want to belong to Him for the rest of my life.”

Praise the Lord for new believers with a passion to follow Christ!

“I was very much against Christianity,” recalled a man in Myanmar. “There was a group of believers sharing about Jesus and showing the JESUS Film near my house. Their group was growing every day. When I looked at their lives, I wondered how they were so loving and caring within their unity. They often prayed for the sick and healed people. One evening, I felt the need to go and watch the JESUS Film. I saw Jesus die for all sinners. That evening, I gave my life to Jesus. Since then, I have faced many problems, but there is peace in my heart.”

Pray for the believers in this area to remain strong in their faith and witness.

“She had lost all hope of her health being restored,” reported a team member in India. “A lady named Shantha, who had a blood disease, had been suffering for many years. After seeing the JESUS Film, she asked us to come and pray for her. We laid hands on her and prayed for her healing. She later testified that Jesus had touched her life and delivered her from the disease. She is now a strong believer in Christ. She invites new believers to come to her house for fellowship in the name of Jesus.”

Praise the Lord for the healing of this sister and her passion to share with others.

“My kids were afraid all the time,” testified a woman in Peru. “My husband is an alcoholic and my kids grew up with many traumas. My husband was constantly violent. Many times I thought the only reason for life was to suffer. I wanted to die. But now I give thanks to God that He sent His Son to die for me on the cross. I have Jesus in my heart and He is my reason to continue with life. I am thankful for my friends who invited me to see the JESUS Film.”

Pray for this woman’s family as they minister to her husband.

“My eyes were opened and I prayed for Jesus to save me from my sins,” shared a man in Nepal. “They began to show the JESUS Film and even though I was not interested, I stayed to watch it. After the film, I was not happy. The story told me that Jesus died for me, but I had been taught that I am a righteous man and do not need help with salvation. After arguing with the JESUS Film team, I went home. The next day the team came to my home and spoke with me for a few hours. They explained that I am a sinner and need the Savior. I believed them, and now I am happy to know Christ. I want to serve him all of my life.”

Praise the Lord that the truth was revealed to this man!

“Christ Himself was calling on me,” confessed a man from Kenya. “One evening while I was walking home drunk, I passed by the market grounds and found a group watching a film. I was too drunk to care, but while lying in my bed at home, I began to pay attention to the sounds coming from outside. My younger brothers came home and were talking about the film. They were very excited, and said the film was to be shown again the next day. I decided to go. This time, in a sober state, I sat and watched the JESUS Film. My heart was filled with guilt and I started to cry. I accepted Christ into my life. Now, with the help of the local pastor, I am learning to stay sober.”

Pray for all those who are struggling with addictions worldwide.

“I had a vision to start a new church in the Three Kings neighborhood," testified Jorge, lay coordinator of evangelism in the Mexico East district. "We did a variety of ministry projects during the day and showed the JESUS Film at night. Many children and youth accepted Christ. As we began to disciple the children, we asked the parents to help their children with the discipleship questions at home. As a result, many of the parents wanted to accept Christ. Within a few weeks, the church grew to 17 people. After three and a half months, we now have 70 people attending church and all 70 are going through discipleship! We plan to disciple more new believers using the JESUS Film and EvangeCubes. Our goal is to evangelize and disciple 1,000 people.”

May God continue to transform lives and bless the ministry of this church.

“What better way to spend Christmas day than to watch a Christmas movie?” thought a man in Kenya. “I had been drinking with my buddies to celebrate the holidays when we noticed large groups of people heading toward the primary school grounds. After following the crowds, we found the film showing and decided to stay. We watched the whole film and were touched. I realized I had been living an unworthy way of life. Christ died on the cross for me and my sins. When an altar call was made, I immediately went forward and accepted Christ as my personal Savior. Within a few days my friends accepted Christ too and now we are winning more of our friends for Him.”

“Suddenly I felt a release in my chest by the grace of God,” testified Shazad of Pakistan. “One day, the JESUS Film team came to my village. Our villagers welcomed them warmly. I had suffered from a respiratory infection for three years and during the film I prayed for God to heal me. Now I am completely healed and a follower of Christ. I have stayed in very close contact with the JESUS Film team. I praise God for my healing and salvation."

"We went to train pastors and laypeople in Community Based Health Care (CBHC) in this remote mountain region," reports a missionary in Papua New Guinea. "We took JESUS Film equipment to use throughout the district. There are no roads in this rugged area. The only way to reach these people is by walking three days or taking a bush plane. Many of the people who came to be trained had walked two or three days to reach the church. [They] had never seen a television set; never held a remote control before.

"Sunday night the team started setting up the equipment for the JESUS Film. First the generator wouldn't start; then the DVD player stopped; then the projector and all the equipment stopped. We realized this wasn't a problem with the equipment and stopped to pray. These Christians are mighty prayer warriors. God touched the equipment, and all of it worked at the same time!

"The people began coming. This is a church that would hold 300 people in North America. There were over 1400 men, women, and children packed in! There was literally no ground showing! The windows were full of faces! We started the film. It was in Tok Pisin, the language most understood, so it was incredibly moving. When the crucifixion scene was shown, there were so many sobbing that the District Superintendent asked the team to stop the film so people could come forward to pray.

"It was like a flood! Soon the seekers at the altar were 15 people deep all the way across the church! God poured out his Spirit on us! When needs were met, we began the film again. Many lives were changed [two weeks before] Resurrection Sunday!"
