Jesus Film

While in Zimbabwe we partner with Life Ministry Zimbabwe, also referred to as the Harare team. Harare team because that is where their home office is. They receive the shipping containers sent by Gain and oversee the distribution of the aid. While here we also are partnering with the Jesus Film ministry.

3 evenings of our visit the Jesus Film team goes out and shows the film near or at the sites we visited that day. It was estimated that 1500-3000 people attended each showing of the film. It is a wonder to watch the people come and to see their reactions to the different parts of the film. The crowd may be small when the film begins but they still be trickle in as late as the 4th real of the film as they all are on foot and may walk many kilometers to get there. You get a huge turnout as the movie is entertainment and some may have never seen a movie before. The great thing is they all get to see and hear the gospel message. And many step forward to receive Christ or to be prayed for by our team. It is an experience beyond words as we lay hands and pray over hundreds of people; to hear what their concerns are for God and to feel the fever on those suffering from malaria, to see up close the need for clothing and shoes.I have seen the film now in three languages, none of which is my own English. I have seen it in Ukrainian, Shona and now Tonga. The movie still surpasses the need for words when you know the story being told.
