Jesus Film Ministry

India is known for its passion for movies. Dayasagar (Man of Mercy) is a film made in India and with Indian actors on the life of Jesus. It has proven to be a very effective and culturally resonating tool to share the Gospel message to the people in South East Asia. In a region where illiteracy prevails, film ministry communicates the story of Jesus intelligently and meaningfully.

Every evening when the farmers and hunters in the villages return home, there is nothing to do after sunset. The IET evangelist uses this time to set up the film unit in a public square or in the courtyard of a friendly villager. Longing for any entertainment, the film soon attracts a large number of men, women, and children. The film, combined with careful follow up over the next few days often results in several giving their heart to Christ—a seed for the first church to be planted there.

Most of Indian Evangelical Team’s film projectors have served their time. We need several film projectors/LCD projectors. A LCD kit can be purchased for $1500. Right now there is a need for 48 such LCD kits.

Many villages have no electricity. Those who have electrification often get it for only a few hours each day, and that too at extremely low voltage. A generator becomes necessary equipment, particularly when there is no ‘man of peace’ to let us borrow or buy electricity from their supply.

A generator allows the evangelistic team to show the film on the first evening. Then the team will preach the gospel message on subsequent evenings and teach those who show greater interest during the day. A good generator can be purchased for as little as $1200. One generator you purchase will allow tens of thousands to hear the Gospel meaningfully every year. Imagine the continuing impact on this earth and in eternity.
