Frequently Asked Ministry Trips Questions
- 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?

Others with physical limitations can go to a destination where JESUS Film work is occurring in the city.
