* Magdalena: Released From Shame, the new "women's version of the JESUS Film", is beginning its debut around the world. As it becomes available, we are making it available to the teams. The following testimony is the first we've received: "My name is Reina. I have been attending church for some time but just didn’t want to make my decision for the Lord. The pastor invited the whole community to come to the showing of Magdalena. I was touched by the suffering of the Lord Christ Jesus. I started crying right there and made my decision for Christ. My family also received the Lord!"
Pray for the women of the world who will find value in the eyes of Christ through the ministry of this new film. To order, click 'Order DVDs' at www.JFHP.org.
* "He was rich but was never happy with his life. He experienced some absence which he couldn’t pick out," a team member in Kenya reported about Mr. Nzimwa. “Mr. Nzimwa, who had never been to a church and didn't know God, attended the showings of the JESUS Film. He was very impressed and really liked what he saw. On the first day of the shows he didn’t accept Christ, but the following day when an altar call was made he accepted Christ into his life. He testified to how he was a drunkard and used to smoke cigarettes. He felt that these were the most important things in his life. He is now happy and testifies to the change in his life.”
Praise the Lord for this new believer and the changes that are occurring in his life.
* "Now some are cell group leaders working in the ministry, and being trained to better serve the Lord," reported a team member in the Dominican Republic. "I give glory to God for what He is doing through this ministry. We have seen many people come to know the Lord with the JESUS Film. We ask for prayer for the new believers and for our team; that God will protect us in His peace, as well as all who make this ministry possible."
Join the team in prayer for the new believers and His protection of the ministry team.
