Testimonies
Malabar, India
During one of the outreaches in this region, I saw a woman with
tears running down her face. She cried out, "I didn't know that
God loved me so much He died for me!" Thank you for helping us to
take the wonderful Good News to people like that Indian woman who need
to hear of Jesus' love!
Vijiyawada, India
Under the leadership of Nireekshan Kumar, the evangelist who
was taught how to operate the video to show Jesus Film, our team of young
people from the Bible School spent 6 weeks on Summer Gospel Invasions.
They went to 102 villages in eight districts distributing 12,000 tracts
and showing Jesus video in 31 places. Thousands of people have seen and
heard the gospel through the Jesus video and responded to the call of
the Gospel with 94 decisions for Jesus. The equipment you've given to
our ministry is a great contribution and blessing.
Tuxpan, Mexico
Some may think that persecution of Christians is part of history. Yet I met
a man in a Huichol village who became a Christian a few years ago. Solely
as a result of leaving his ancestral religion of animism, he lost all his
belongings, had his livestock confiscated, and his house burned to the
ground. What a price to pay - it cost him everything to follow Jesus! (In
such a circumstance, what would you or I do?) With nothing left, he took
to the road as a traveling evangelist! Now, each time he enters a home
he shares the Gospel with those who live there. Pray with us that these
Huichol will have open hearts to hear the truth about God!
Dominican Republic
It was a hot, humid summer night. Most people were sitting outside
their homes conversing casually with their neighbors while the children
played baseball in the street. Mario was out that night as well, driven
by a burning anger. Earlier that day his wife had left him with a 10
month old baby to go live with her lover. The lover was Mario's closest
friend. The betrayal was too much to bear. He felt driven by anger to
go out and kill the man he once called his dearest friend.
On his way to commit this murder, Mario saw a big white screen being
set up in the middle of the street. He decided to stop and check out
what was going on before he continued. He watched a portion of the Jesus
video. A worker struck up a conversation with him and began to share
the love of Jesus with this young Dominican who had been betrayed by
worldly love. Mario was moved to tears, and wanted to be free from the
anger that welled up inside like a bomb about to explode. He knew there
was freedom in the message of the movie and the Words of life spoken
to him.
That hot summer evening Mario found freedom. Jesus changed Mario's heart,
took away his desire for revenge, and gave him a new start in life! Praise
God!
"What an incredible blessing the video equipment is! We work with
two very remote tribes that are spread out over a several hundred mile
area. Now, for the first time, we can carry the equipment in and reach
people with the Jesus Film we were never able to reach before. It is
awesome!"
"You have made the most tremendous equipment set that I have seen
in 18 years in 51 nations of the world. Thank you!"
