Film brings the story to life in ways that transcend written communication. This is true especially in oral cultures—places where written communication is scarce. When people see the life of Jesus portrayed on screen, it is life-changing.
Even in societies where the written word is prevalent, films are the cultural flashpoints. Any Justin Bieber viral video demonstrates that fact. In minutes, movies can cross the world and ignite conversations.
And this is why we invest in the medium of film. Movies cross barriers of communication both culturally and geographically. We are careful to tell the story of Jesus in every production we undertake, and every syllable that we translate into another language.
Bringing the story of Jesus to screens around the world is a huge undertaking. We go about this mission in a few ways:
We write, shoot, and cut new films to introduce Jesus to the world.
We identify ways to reach strategic people groups through film.
We fund efforts to bring Jesus-centered videos to the languages of the world.
With the help of the Bible translation community, we translate “JESUS” and other films into new languages—sometimes before the Bible is even printed in those languages!
We equip churches, organizations, and individuals with the strategies, training, and resources they need to bring the gospel to the ends of the earth.
