As 2025 begins, I’d like to invite you to become a regular, monthly partner with “JESUS” film teams like these. With your gifts and prayers, you can send them to take Jesus Film^® media to the 3 billion people who are considered unreached. Those who are giving monthly say it gives them great satisfaction knowing they are helping to win the lost every month.

The average cost to support one of these teams is $42 per day. Perhaps you would feel led to sponsor one day of a team’s ministry with a monthly gift of $42. You could support two days of ministry through a monthly gift of $84, or a week for $294. Should you have the financial resources, you might feel led to support the work of one team for an entire month through a gift of $1,250.

Monthly giving is easy to set up. You will always be in control; you can change or stop at any time. Above all, you will know you are shining the light of the gospel every month.

And if monthly giving is not an option for you, you can still reach people who have never heard by supporting a film team for a day with a single gift today of $42, two days for $84 or a week of ministry for $294.

Your prayers and gifts are making it possible for this ministry to be a hub of support for 1,800 ministry partners who use “JESUS.” Your partnership is multiplying their ministries by equipping them with 2,199 translations of the film and then sending them to reach the unreached.

    Here are some examples of how God is moving through your prayers and gifts:

◆ A community in a desert area of Kenya has been dominated by witchcraft and demonic activity. In the village, there is an ancient tree, the home of a snake. The people greatly feared the tree and the unknown god of the tree and the snake.

If a branch fell, no one dared touch it or go near. Only sacrifices and enchantments were allowed under the tree. It was a center of demonic activity.

The day came when one of the ministry partners* arrived with the film “JESUS.” The team first gathered the people and preached the gospel. Then they showed them “JESUS” in their heart language over several nights. Many believed and the Lord demonstrated His power by healing the sick.

The following morning (after a showing) a shocking report spread through the village. The entire demonic tree had fallen! The snake was gone. To them the collapse was a massive sign that Jesus was superior to their gods. The people were so moved by the gospel and the tree’s collapse that they donated land to build a church, right next to where the tree had stood. A church has since been planted there and is growing exponentially.

A few months ago, a team visited the church to follow up with the new believers. The team leader told how they saw a pile of useless branches and wood 20 feet away from the church. It was the demon tree, cut into pieces by the people and left to rot. Though many of the people had been delivered from spiritual darkness, these new believers in Christ needed to be firmly grounded in their new faith. So, the team decided to show them the two-hour, follow-up series, “Walking With Jesus.” About 150 people began filling their church, watching intently, commenting, reacting to all they saw and heard. The call to live holy lives in the power of the Spirit was liberating.

One of the episodes in the video series addresses witchcraft. As the people watched, they fell completely silent. They understood the dangers and fears of their own past. These people had witnessed what this ministry partner described as a “showdown” between darkness and light. Many of the people realized that, as new Christians, they needed to choose light, renounce witchcraft, trust in the power of the Holy Spirit and commit fully to following their Lord and Savior. I praise God for how He used that team to win hearts and disciple a new church. To Him goes all the praise.

◆ As you know, many of the film teams work in dangerous areas where Christians are persecuted, beaten and killed. I’m sure you understand then why we can’t mention the name of the next country or area of the world where this took place.

Needing to work “undercover,” a team followed a plan to first meet needs by helping to lift people out of poverty and earn the trust of those suffering. They did this by operating a large livestock farm where the people could raise animals for food and income (20 cows). Then, as they were touched by tangible help and love, they wanted to learn more. It’s then that the team shared the gospel or privately showed them “JESUS.”

Sadly, a group of radicals heard what was happening, that people were turning to Christ. Enraged, about 100 men climbed the fence of the farm and attacked, severely beating two brothers. It was bloody and one nearly lost an eye. Though they had every right, the team decided not to press charges.

“Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.”** Then God moved.

The leader of the gang felt ashamed, “ugly for what I did” as he described it. Five days later, he went back to the farm and asked for forgiveness. His heart opened. A friendship began. The team shared the gospel. That gang leader and four of his fellow attackers came to know Christ!

The team also showed them the film “JESUS,” to help them understand the love of God that had just transformed their lives. A staff leader who visited the area tells of continuing persecution, but also that many from the area’s dominant religion are coming to the teams, seeking to know more about “this Jesus” and the love they have experienced.

◆ Next, here is another intriguing method that partner film teams have developed: A ministry partner is enrolling new believers (most from a religion traditionally hostile to Christians) in a year of pharmacy school. Properly equipped with essential knowledge and licensed, they are then sent to villages where they establish a local pharmacy. Similar to urgent care locations, villagers are going to the clinics for help. Then, in a back room, out of sight of radicals, if they are interested, people are shown “JESUS” on a video tablet. The strategy is working. New believers gather in the back room, forming a new faith group, a church.

Other teams are purchasing and renting tricycles at very low rates (like rickshaws that carry goods and passengers). People from an impoverished background can’t afford to purchase their own tricycles, but they can rent from this partner at very low rates. Some of the renters tell the teams that to them, the rickshaws are “a miracle,” enabling them to feed their children.

At the end of each day, when they return the bikes, they are invited to attend a Bible study and watch “JESUS” on a video tablet. This strategy is also working. Most of the tricycle renters have since become believers!

Thank you for prayerfully considering monthly giving or a single gift today. As you give, you’ll know you are helping unreached people understand the story of Jesus. I am grateful for your partnership. God bless you.
