Always Faithful - March 2021

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive
us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

1 John 1:9 (ESV

God is always faithful and true to His promises!

Praise God!

  • For the 963 Preaching Points that were planted in the last month! Teams have reported over 100,000 church plants in the life of the ministry. This month, read about those who discovered God’s faithfulness, including a teenager, a welder, a woman isolated by the pandemic, and an impoverished family in a low caste.
  • For the exciting ways He is growing the Kingdom. 914 JESUS Film teams are serving in 59 countries – more than ever before!

Venezuela

March 1-7

Prayer Points

  • South Sudan is the world’s newest country. Pray the Sudanese teams will build relationships with their people and the message of the One who makes all things new.
  • Due to war and oppression from the north, Christ-followers have dispersed across the country, taking their love of God with them. Many now live in areas of great persecution. Pray these believers are strengthened as they share the Good News in their new towns and villages.

South Sudan Team Report: “Sudanese people feel insecure and threatened by many things in their lives. Asha was born and raised in a family who had radical religious beliefs. She feared for her life if she renounced these beliefs. However, she dreamed Jesus called her by name and said, ‘You are my child. I have died for your sin.’ When the JESUS film was shown in Asha’s village, she realized Jesus was the person in her dream! She asked Jesus to forgive her sins and gave her heart and life to Christ.”

Burkina

March 8-14

Prayer Points

  • Praise: team #7 reports, “We bless God for his assistance throughout the year. Through this ministry, people heard the gospel for the first time in their mother tongue. Many gave their lives to the Lord!”
  • Teams request prayer for God to provide and equip more leaders to help evangelize to the 4.8 million unreached people in Burkina Faso. Leaders are also needed for the Preaching Points planted by teams following JESUS film showings.

“I am a welder. Following Jesus’ story helped me discover I have a faithful friend. He is powerful and spotless, protecting me and giving me joy, even when life is hard. My life now rests under Him!” —Victor, 31-years-old

Panama

March 15-21

Prayer Points

  • Panama teams request prayer for God to guide them and provide many opportunities to reach more people in their community. They also want to praise God, because “He has no limitations and hears our requests!”
  • Pray for success as teams continue creative outreach using social media and video calling.
  • Pray for strong Christian impact on the multitude of nationalities passing through the Canal Zone.

Sara’s testimony: “I feel very grateful to God for the opportunity He gave me to meet the JESUS Film team through social media. With the help of technology, Jesus came to me in the midst of this pandemic. Jesus is faithful and lives in my heart now.”

Nigeria

March 22-31

Prayer Points

  • Praise God for this report we received from the Nigeria teams: “God is faithful. Despite the challenges of no permanent place to worship, the church is increasing in number. We have created awareness about COVID-19 in combination with showing the JESUS film, and distributed food to people in need.”
  • Pray for increasingly persecuted Christians in radicalized northern states to be characterized by supernatural love and forgiveness.

Team Report: “I met a woman named Christiana who was upset because she didn’t have 500 nairas to buy food. I gave her 1,000 naira and tears flowed from her eyes. I visited her family and told them Jesus speaks in Hausa, the language they understand. After watching the JESUS film, she said Jesus was born in a manger, and to poor parents. Jesus didn’t look down on anyone for their class, tribe, or status. The Lord added to his church — she decided to follow Christ!”
