A billion views....

Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”  Matthew 28:18-20 (NLT)

 I’m reminded from these scriptures that Jesus didn’t lay out a ‘Plan B’.  It started with people (the disciples), it would take place through the church, and it would end at the world (all nations).  How does that plan continue today in the modern, interconnected world of phones and media?  At your church I’m sure you could give a testimony of how your congregation and your church’s overseas discipling work is accelerated through the use of technology and media.

Here at the Jesus Film Project we have a detailed plan for how we are serving the body of Christ in fulfilling the Great Commission through the JESUS film and our growing film library.  One of the outcomes of this plan is that we expect to see 1 Billion views of our media over the course
of the next 5 years.  These billion views will be in support of seeing 7.5 Million churches planted by the denominations that we partner with.  These views will also support the discipling and church growth/training efforts of another 7.5 million churches.

Part of this effort involves the production of new media that is designed to reach the next generation.  That is why were thankful for your prayers for 5 the new scripts we mentioned last fall.  They are now done!  They use JESUS film dialog (like My Last Day) to bring more of the gospel story to the next generation. 

We are now starting the process of planning that, Lord willing, will result in these films becoming freely available in the world’s top languages – perhaps in as little as the next 2 years.  We would greatly appreciate your prayers!  Please pray for wisdom in the initial plans that are needed to start such a big project!  Thank you for joining with us in this great work!
