“Please pray for our safety and ministry,” said the team member in Nepal. “We are in danger much of the time because we show the JESUS Film in an area heavily populated with a dominant religious group. At one showing, a priest interrupted the film yelling that we were spoiling the Nepalese culture with this religion. He told us to stop showing the film, but so many people were watching the film that we did not want to stop it. Finally, one of the men stood up and told the priest to either sit and watch the film or leave. The priest silently disappeared from the crowd.” Pray for the safety of this team as they deliver life giving knowledge to a dark place.
“Mr. Govindaiah was suffering from back pain for many months,” said the team member in India. After Mr. Govindaiah saw the film, he asked for prayer. He said because of seeing the film he had faith in Jesus to heal him. We prayed together and in later follow up discovered Mr. Govindaiah is no longer suffering from back pain. Praise the Lord!”
Mr. Govindaith has asked for prayer that his family will come to know Christ.
“I have decided to follow the path of the Lord for the rest of my life," said Brother Jorge from Bolivia. “My wife and children went to church for several years; I did not go for many reasons. When I saw the life of Jesus in the film, I felt my heart change and I asked God to forgive me.”
Praise God for Brother Jorge’s choice to follow Christ.
