Hands tied, faces and bodies bruised, the team huddled together as best they could inside the dark building. The JESUS Film showing had been stopped hours ago, and their equipment destroyed. They could only wait and pray, now; the village elders said they would be back to kill them in the morning. Two men served as guards, and so the team shared the gospel with them. All night, they did not stop. Right before
morning, the guards decided to untie the team and help them escape! As the team raced away into the night, the guards were sure they’d never return. Several days later, the team walked back into this village. You see, people in that village still did not know Christ and the command of Jesus was heavy on the hearts of the team to reach their neighbors. Upon their return, thirty people responded to their witness with faith in Christ! In this South Asian nation, JESUS Film teams face extreme opposition from adherents of two major world religions.

“They could only wait and pray, now; the village elders said they would be back to kill them in the morning.” new people groups with whom they believe they can have Kingdom impact, and have requested 25 new teams to reach these people. Based on historical averages for the region, this could mean over 55,000 new followers of Christ and over 400 new preaching points in the next year! Five donors have generously given $230,000 and challenge you to give the remaining $230,000 needed to launch these 25 new teams in South Asia for 2015. Equipment has already been funded and delivered into the hands of these teams. They are simply waiting for sponsorship in order to get started! All around the world there are people who have never heard the gospel. JESUS Film teams are ready and willing to change that. Will you accept the challenge to partner with them?
