Thank you for visiting our giving page!​ 

“Sir,” they said, “we would like to see Jesus.”  - John 12:21b

“Sir,” they said, “we would like to see Jesus.” This is the request some Greek pilgrims made of one of Jesus' followers. They had come to Jerusalem for the passover festival shortly before Jesus was crucified. Their request caused Jesus to point to his coming death and how God would use it to draw, not only Greeks, but people from every tribe and nation to himself. 

"And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”​  - John 12:32

Today, 3.4 billion people are classified as living in unreached people groups. That means that less that 2% of their population is Christian. So, those people are unlikely to hear the story of Jesus or ever meet anyone who is a Christian and can introduce them to Jesus.  Not everyone can read or will read the Bible for themselves. Jesus Film Project delivers the story of Jesus on film so all can hear Him speak in their language and see His love play out on screen.

The mission of the Jesus Film Project is "Everyone seeing Jesus." Our feature length film "Jesus" has been translated into over 2,100 languages and has been shown all over the world. We have a library of short films that missionaries, churches, and lay people can access online or through our app to help spark spiritual conversations or share the good news of Jesus. 

After serving for 20 years with the music ministry of Cru, Laura and I are excited to be joining forces with the creative and highly effective Jesus Film Project. I will be pursuing a certification in project management and helping film makers create and publish new films. Laura plans to work with a team at headquarters that cares for our staff by organizing events for the Jesus Film Project. 

Laura and I want the world to know and worship our amazing God. We want to spend our lives generously for Him like He has done for us. Your partnership, through prayer and financial support, allows us the freedom and focus to help more people SEE JESUS and hear about him in there heart language. It is an honor to work with you to fulfill God's great commission. Thank you!
