  • Why should I go on a JFHP Ministry Trip?
  • Return on investment (ROI) - You will be investing your time, money, and energy in one of the most effective evangelistic ministries the earth has seen. On average, the equivalent of one (1) person makes a decision to follow Christ every 48 seconds. The equipment you fund and deliver will help thousands of people see JESUS!
  • What is a JESUS Film Harvest Partners (JFHP) Ministry Trip?
  • A ministry trip is self-led by your local church, small group, class, or business. It is comprised of 7-10 people who join together to fund and deliver equipment directly to a JESUS Film team of nationals who are committed to reaching their country for Christ. Trips include working hand-in-hand with a JESUS Film team on the field and may include helping with a JESUS Film showing, equipment set up, handing out invitations, praying during the show, outreach, VBS, compassionate ministries, etc. Activities and needs vary by country.
  • How are destinations identified?
  • JFHP comes alongside each region to help them implement their strategies. The destinations needing equipment are determined by the field and their strategy of work in specific areas.
  • How much does a trip cost?
  • The project cost is $6000 for a large set of JESUS Film equipment. Field expenses for food, lodging and transportation will average $30-$50 per person per day; plus air travel to the country.
  • What will we do on a Ministry Trip?
  • You will be a resource provider to a team of nationals who use the equipment to share God's love in their own language and culture. You may help set up the equipment for a show, hand out invitations, pray with new believers, coordinate a Vacation Bible School, and participate in a work project. Each country will have different needs. You will confirm special activities with the field contact person in advance.
  • Who can go on a JFHP Ministry Trip?
  • Since one of the key elements of a trip is to get needed equipment to the field, anyone who can travel and is willing to help transport equipment is a good candidate. Teams can select a destination based on the physical abilities of the group such as an adventurous trek up the Amazon River for a group of energetic travelers. Others with physical limitations can go to a destination where JESUS Film work is occurring in the city.
  • What is the best time to go on a Ministry Trip?
  • You can research the best weather conditions for a specific country on the internet. Most regions prefer to host teams when weather will not create challenges.
  • Can you think of a more profitable way to spend your time and resources?
  • If not, you might be right for a JFHP Ministry Trip.
