Dear Friends,

How do you make a JESUS film worker weep? By the love you have sent! May your own heart be moved by what I'm about to share.

Tim Eaker, founder of a ministry partner, Healing Rain World Outreach, has been taking JESUS to the incredibly rugged foothills of the Himalayan Mountains to unreached, unengaged people.

Tim's team had hiked nearly six hours, trekking narrow foot trails at high altitudes. They were carrying our projector backpack system that contains everything a single JESUS film worker needs.

Exhausted, and at their first 'base camp,' Tim realized they had left the DVD of JESUS down the mountain, in their car, five and a half brutal hours away (11 hours round trip). But God miraculously had gone before them. A man in the village remembered a DVD he had been given by a mysterious man. A few weeks earlier, he handed the villager a DVD, saying, "I'm supposed to give this to you! You are going to need it." It was of JESUS, in the exact language they needed! Tim and his team wept for joy they had experienced a miracle. About 350 people watched JESUS in their mother tongue and 325 indicated decisions for Christ! Now let me tell you more about those backpacks, and what made the JESUS film team cry...

Those workers knew of the traditional film equipment sets: 16mm projectors, p.a. systems, generators, metal screen frames and large speakers. Carrying bulky and weighty cases over the treacherous Himalayan trails would be nearly impossible. So when Tim presented them with their first backpack they were ecstatic. With tears, the workers told Tim they had been praying for a tool like this for eight years.

When Tim said that Christians in America (people like you!) had given the funds, so they could reach their own people, they could not believe it...became overwhelmed...and wept. What a moment.

And there's more. A few weeks ago Tim spoke before a small church in the U.S. He brought with him one of those backpacks as a demo. He set up the equipment, pulling each piece from the backpack: foldable solar panel, compact projector, a small but powerful speaker system, and a collapsible screen. He said the people were amazed and very enthusiastic over all they learned. At the end of the service, a man approached him: "My sister and husband are medical missionaries in Sierra Leone, Africa. They have longed for a tool like this for years, so they could show JESUS to the people there."

Tim: "In that moment the Holy Spirit spoke to me and said that the next backpack was to go to them. But I had the next backpack,' and it was already committed for Asia. I was leaving in a few days! I was so conflicted. Then the pastor came by...

"'Tim, these people are so excited over the backpacks. I just learned several families have written enough checks for you to purchase one more.' I was so amazed. Once again God had gone before us." When we spoke with Tim, he had just arranged for the shipment to Sierra Leone.

Do you feel as I do, so fortunate and blessed to have a part? May His name be praised for all eternity. This brings me to why I am writing. I want to suggest four ways you can have a part in this historic expansion of God's kingdom:
