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

PRAISES  

JESUS Film - Benin

"A friend took me to see the JESUS film," said a young lady in Benin. "I felt God calling me and I did not hesitate to answer His call. I became full of joy and hope because my friend shared this life-changing experience with me. Also, I had worked hard to save money to start my own seamstress shop, but was never able to. The Lord provided the funds with a loan from this same friend. This was proof to me that God is there when we need mercy. He is the creator of heaven and earth and knows well our needs and requests."

JESUS Film - Haiti

"I want to share this amazing experience with my friends!" said a man in Haiti. "I am happy for the JESUS Film ministry and hope they will come back to our community again. It was a beautiful presentation and now I understand God accepts me into His family. I have become of child of God. One of the men, who made a decision to accept Christ, passed away several days later but we are confident now we will see him again someday."  

JESUS Film - Kenya

"People were staring at us from a distance," reported a team member in Kenya. "When the movie started, only a few people moved closer. However, hearing the JESUS film in their own Maasai language, the crowd began to gather in. At the end, the ones who came forward were very happy and asked us to start a preaching point there, so we did."
