The Hands and Feet of Christ

Churches

It is from the bottom of my heart that I write these words to express my great gratitude for all you do for the glory of our God.

— JESUS Film leader in West Africa

The result of this evangelism tool is immense and unfathomable.

Thanks to your support and help, many women, men and children are saved and discipled. We always remain in prayer for

you. May God bless you and give you more means.

Together we can succeed in the work of redemption that the Lord

entrusted to us – to go everywhere and make disciples in the image of

Christ!

Event Attendees — Ministry Promoters —

235 Harvest Partners in-person (pre-

pandemic). COVID-19 disrupted

other plans to gather face-to-face,

but we are grateful for the 224 of you

who connected with us virtually.

These events raised over $378,000!

Clément, JESUS Film Country Coordinator, Cote d'Ivoire

You Exercised Compassion...

It has been a busy year. The coronavirus pandemic led us to adapt our ministry strategies. It has actually allowed us to find new ideas for sharing the gospel, and served as a springboard to win new souls. We were trained by the government health department on how to prevent the virus. We presented our knowledge and raised COVID-19 awareness before each screening of the film. This made it possible to multiply the number of showings by three!

We have exercised compassion by distributing masks, soap, hand

sanitizer, and other items to those in need. People see the church as a refuge.

We have also helped build temporary shelters for new Christians to gather. After showings, our emphasis has been on discipleship using orality tools, which is ongoing.

The JESUS film material is a strong tool that helps win souls to Christ. We thank the Lord for these resources which allow us to be where people need us.

RebornYou Reaped Fruit from Hard Soil...

Due to a leadership crisis, a church in Caacupemi, Paraguay was forced to close its doors in 2007. However, they celebrated their reopening service last November, thanks to the effort and im-pact of Paraguay JESUS Film team #8. God's Kingdom continues to produce fruit from the hard soil of the pan-demic!

Paraguay team #8 is contributing to a district initiative called Reborn, which

focuses on reactivating closed churches and creating new church plants.

About 50 youth recently joined the team for a day of service to their community. Believers united to proclaim the gospel, a spiritual wake-up call informing the neighborhood there is once again an active church in the area. Participants evangelized at homes around the neigh-borhood, using face masks and hand sanitizer for protection.

These youth used the EvangeCube and colors of the EvangeBracelet in the JESUS Film equipment set to present the steps of salvation.

Yoan, the Paraguay JESUS Film Country Coordinator, explained, "We preached the good news — the only hope humanity has for salvation was brought to the world through Christ. Jesus is our effective vaccine!"
