PRAISES
JESUS Film - Guatemala
"My life was changed through the JESUS film," said Jacobo in Guatemala. "I thank God for having brought us the story of His love. Now I am a son of God and a new creation, all for His glory."
JESUS Film - Pakistan
"I have traveled a lot, but never once thought about my salvation," said Michal in Pakistan. "One day, though, the JESUS Film team came to our area, and my family convinced me to watch. When I saw Jesus receiving a beating on my behalf, and His love for sinners, my eyes filled with tears and I began to cry uncontrollably. Now I know Jesus can change the hearts and minds of sinners, because He has changed mine!"
JESUS Film - Uruguay
"One church is in a squatter's community," shared a team leader from Uruguay. "The people there do not have many resources, and the church is small. Its influence, though, is quite noticeable! Recently, they were able to show the JESUS film and several teenagers came to Christ."
