Dear Friends and Partners,
Chuck here--with a special message from the Executive Director of JESUS Film Harvest Partners. We are celebrating an incredible milestone for all of us who have been partnering together to share the Gospel to help "make disciples of all nations" through the effective ministry of the JESUS Film Harvest Partners:
"This is my Son, whom I love; with Him I am well pleased. Listen to Him!" (Matthew 3:17).
"He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed" (Isaiah 53:5).

From the Desk of
Brian Helstrom
Executive Director
JESUS Film Harvest Partners
50,000,000.
[that's 50 million! Praise to the Lord!]
I can’t even count that high, but that is the number of encounters with Jesus Christ your teams have reported over the last 11 years. Each encounter, each evangelistic contact, each face-to-face meeting, is by God the heavenly Father, battling for the eternal destiny of one of His beloved.
The number is actually 50,147,801 and each digit of that number is ultimately important. Each additional “one” represents another witness with a real person, with a real name, and with an eternal soul. Each person is seeing Jesus’ face and hearing Him speak their language, many for the very first time in their lives.
Today, we celebrate each one of these divine encounters. This is Jesus building His Church, given legs by the teams, supported by you, and all for His glory.
He is smiling and you are loved.
Isn't this thrilling news? Over 50 million! I just had to share this great news with you!
Without you, this milestone wouldn't have been reached. Thank you for your continued support of the 322 JESUS Film Teams sharing JESUS around the world! It's exciting to be a part of the Kingdom harvest. Even in a down economy, it will continue as long as we are faithful to Christ's Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20).
Blessings,
Chuck Watson
