"Jesus Movie" is getting the Gospel to unreachable places

Posted by Bible Probe on April 19, 2006 at 15:24:31:

The "Jesus Movie" has been translated into nearly all languages in the world. There are 1600 "film teams" getting the Jesus Movie into places where the Gospel of Jesus has never been heard before.

Taken entirely from the Gospel of Luke and filmed in the Holy Land, the "JESUS" film is the most historically accurate film ever produced on the life of Christ. This classic, two-hour dramatic movie will help unfold the life of Christ for you: from His birth; to His life and miracles ending with His trial, death, burial and resurrection. A presentation at the end offers the ultimate story of love and forgiveness to every listening heart.

Christians can help the spreading of the Gospel via this fascinating movie, by giving what you can at the below link.

Below are a few examples of how the Lord is using this film to reach lost souls who never heard the Gospels

"JESUS" Approved in One Gospel-Resistant Country

A communist country in East Asia approved the legal distribution of the “JESUS” film.

After the SARS outbreak in 2003, many people in this country were spiritually open to hearing the gospel. About this time, the approval was given by the communist government to legally distribute the “JESUS” film to official churches throughout the nation.

This was a monumental step towards reaching restricted people with the message of Christ.
Last year, 100,000 “JESUS” VCDs were distributed to official churches throughout the country.

Village churches encouraged Christians to share the film with at least 20 people within the first days of the distribution.

Another nationwide distribution is in the approval process for more “JESUS” VCDs to be given to official churches next year.

Village Chief Has Change of Heart
A “JESUS” film team traveled to an area of Northern Togo, Africa—a region filled with voodoo cult members.

Aware of the team’s work, the village chief posted a sign forbidding “JESUS” film showings. But with the support of local authorities, the team was able to show the film.

The village chief even attended the showing, and God touched him as he watched the film. He decided to commit his life to Christ. Immediately afterward, the chief urged all villagers to follow his lead.

About 40 people said yes to “JESUS” that night; and most of them attended church the following Sunday.

“JESUS” Shown Outside a Mosque

A team of Americans traveled to a town in northern Cameroon and met with the village chief to help find a place to show the “JESUS” film. The chief suggested a spot right outside a local mosque.

As the team was setting up the screen, the evening call-to-prayer rang across the town’s loudspeaker.

Just as the film was about to begin, the prayer leader of the mosque approached the film team to find out what they were doing. He was so excited about the chance to watch the “JESUS” film that he closed the doors to the mosque and sat down to watch the movie.

More than 1,500 people saw the “JESUS” film that night. And more than 400 trusted Christ, right outside of the mosque.

How Jesus gets them in to another Central Asian country

After months of prayer, the Holy Spirit said, "Go. It is time." Knowing the risks, they loaded their truck with the 16mm projection equipment, screen and generator, all boxed and placed in the truck's bed.

They came to a military checkpoint. A uniformed soldier asked, "Where are you going?" When they answered, he gestured to a high ranking officer and said, "Will you take him with you?" They agreed. One soldier climbed into the back, but the officer intervened, "No, you go in the cab. I will sit back here." He did, resting on the boxed film equipment!

They came to the next checkpoint--each one a risk, should they be searched. But when the troops saw the officer sitting in back, they merely waived him and the team through! At last they reached the town. The officer asked, "Where will you be spending the night?" "We have nothing arranged," they said. "Then you will stay at the house of my friend."

His friend was the mayor! As they were eating together, the mayor asked, "Why have you come here?" Answering was a risk, but leaving the result to God, they said, "To show a gospel movie about the prophet Isa (Jesus)." He then asked the team. "And in what language is this film?" "Yours!" they replied.

The mayor responded, "Because you were so kind to my brother-in-law, I will be kind to you." The next day, using his authority, the mayor arranged for the whole town to see "JESUS" in the public square--with his blessings and without any opposition!

God answered the team's prayers, and honored their faith. Because the Lord alone made the way, nearly every person in a previously "unreachable" area heard the news of salvation, in his/her own language.
