Dear Friends & Partners,

Since you are an important part of the family in building God’s Kingdom, I must bring you up-to-date with our ministry.

In my monthly E-Newsletters I've been very transparent with you about my own life, so I'm going to be equally transparent about JESUS Film Harvest Partners. My own personal family of seven functions best when we are well informed.

Here it is: Donations for ministry have fallen short of the needs since April. It is projected that an additional $300,000 will be needed by September 30 in order to keep the 322 current JESUS Film teams functioning. It takes a lot of effort to recruit and train these film teams who share Jesus every month through the JESUS Film and help bring people to a saving faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. They are our front lines in making disciples and planting churches in the most difficult areas of the world and they depend on all of us for support. It's the body of Christ functioning as a true body—they cannot do their work without us, and we cannot reach their parts of the world without them.

So there you have it!  The good news is, if we can make up the shortfall, it ensures these teams continue shining Light into the darkness.

Two of our fellow partners have already challenged the rest of us with a $75,000 gift match, so every dollar we give will be doubled for the first $75,000. There is no dollar amount too large or too small that will help us reach our need.

I look forward to sharing a praise report with you of how we've done in responding to the need. Please consider joining me with joy in this freewill offering to meet the needs of those able and willing to go to the ends of the earth to fulfill the Great Commission.

Next month I look forward to telling you about the miracles which happened last week on a JESUS Film Partner Trip to Sri Lanka.

Blessings on you,
