Dear Friends and Partners,

Isaiah 61:10 says, "I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. Let your face shine on your servant; save me in your unfailing love."

I was watching my daughters hand milk our Jersey cow, Bessie, and quickly found myself having flashbacks to some of my JESUS Film Harvest Partner trips in which cows rule the road as they are considered "holy."

Everyone must stop, go around, or wait, on these "holy cows." Bessie is not holy; however, she does provide wonderful, fresh milk with cream, for my family.

Bessie gives us her milk daily. She shares it freely, if my daughters will but choose to partake. In much the same way, our Heavenly Father provides nourishment through His Word daily for those who choose to partake.

AND through JESUS Film Harvest Partners we are priviledged to share His life-nourishing Word, every day, around the globe. God is truly drawing all people to Himself and many who see the JESUS Film are being drawn to clothe themselves spiritually with Jesus Christ's "robe of righteousness."

Showing the JESUS Film through 360 teams in over 100 countries continues to allow people to put on the "robe of righteousness" around the globe. Thanks for supporting JESUS Film Harvest Partners with your prayers and resources.

Blessings,

If not, we want to encourage you to give it a try and both you and JESUS Film Harvest Partners will benefit! Our goal is to raise $1 million to help support the JESUS Film Teams through this donation method. Please share this idea with your friends and Sunday School Class.

P.P.S. - We had a great JESUS Film Partner Trip to Nicaragua! We thought you'd enjoy hearing a few of the testimonies from a few of our participants.

"This trip was a true blessing for me. It was a blessing for me to see people’s lives changed by accepting Jesus as their personal Savior in response to the JESUS film and other evangelistic tools. It was a blessing to see responses in such numbers and within just three short days. Also, it was a blessing to see the dedication of the local team in follow-up discipleship. 'Praise God from whom all blessings flow!'

"I thank God for Chuck, Dave, and Bernie. They are extremely dedicated to God’s work in Central America. I am thankful that God has allowed me to participate in this effort and am encouraged by this trip to be a more dedicated and enthusiastic servant for God’s work where ever He may send me."

"I was sitting with a young child during a JESUS Film showing in Tipitape. There were about 60 other people there. After 30 minutes of watching, I turned around and was shocked to see more then 80 additional people. This increase of viewers showed me that the Holy Spirit was moving. Ninety people came to Christ that night. It was an incredible experience! AMEN."

"...I was saved at the age of 5 during a Sunshine Club that was hosted in my neighbor’s back yard... For this reason, Vacation Bible School (VBS) has always meant so much to me. I have always been involved with VBS during the summer.

"I never thought I would be much help on a Partner Trip because they usually involved medical clinics or construction—not my expertise! But when I got the email for Nicaragua, it said VBS. The Lord moved me and said 'go!' I argued and started to make excuses: I don’t like to fly, I don’t like shots, and my comfort is staying home and caring for my two children, husband, and the home. Even with these reservations, I followed through and made arrangements for the trip. Everything fell into place perfectly (Imagine that!).

"On this trip, we held four different Vacation Bible Schools. They were not what I’m used to, but the Lord used it in such a powerful way. To my surprise, I made some special connections with the mothers of the children who attended the VBSs.

"The Lord taught me to be open to His Spirit and His calling and He will equip me with what I need when the time comes. I know that if I’m willing the Lord can use me in ways that I would never think I was capable of doing. I need to trust Him!

"The spiritual highlight for me was realizing we can have joy and hope and everlasting life regardless of our past, social standing, financial standing, or circumstances. Jesus Christ died on the cross for every single person no matter where they are from. All the glory goes to God alone for the good things He has done and is doing in Nicaragua. He is moving in a mighty way here!"
