Recent praise reports and prayer requests from NCN News, Nazarene Missions International, and JESUS Film Harvest Partners include:

PRAISES  

JESUS Film - Ecuador

"Our neighbor, Freddy, was a difficult person," said Nelly in Ecuador. "Freddy drank a lot and was not easy to get along with. We noticed an extraordinary change in his behavior. One day he came over and invited us to see a movie at his house. We accepted. As I watched the JESUS film, I started to feel something. I couldn't believe the Lord Jesus died for me and for my sins.  When one of the leaders invited us to accept Christ, my husband and I made the decision to give our lives to Jesus. From that moment on, something happened in us! We live in a better way worshipping God and sharing His love.

JESUS Film - Nicaragua

"My husband left me for another woman," said a woman in Nicaragua. "I planned to kill myself. I made all the arrangements, including giving my 8-month-old son to my mother. I had the pills in my hand when my brother came to visit me. He talked with me about Christ and convinced me to go see the JESUS film. As I watched, I felt a great need in my life. Each word Jesus spoke touched my heart. My heart was soft toward the Lord and I accepted Him as my Savior!  My entire life changed. I am filled with joy. The Lord even returned my husband. He is now a follower of Christ, all thanks to the work of the JESUS Film team.

JESUS Film - Pakistan

"I was destroying my life," said Ilyas in Pakistan. "I used lots of drugs and experienced many hardships. Seeing the JESUS film has changed my life. I left all my old life behind and now follow Him."
