Prayer & Praise

May 16, 2012

"I am a member of a house church," said Mountari in Niger. "I am a seller of small articles. Each time we met, one customer talked with me about Jesus. One day, he invited me to a projection of the JESUS Film. I was touched by the images of Christ and His love for people. I desired to have Jesus as my Savior, but was afraid to make the confession in public. After the presentation, I went to the JESUS Film team members, they prayed for me as I became a follower of Christ. I have peace, security, and eternal life."

Pray for others who fear opposition to have boldness of spirit to accept Christ as their Savior.


"I want to give all my life to Jesus," said Gena in Haiti. "I am so happy you brought the JESUS Film to our area. I have joy in knowing the truth. I don't know how I lived without Christ in my heart. The love of God is irresistible to me now."

Praise God for His passionate love for us.


"Jesus is the way," said 23 year-old Ariel in Paraguay. "Seeing the life of Christ touched my heart. Hearing His words opened my mind to His love for me. I have faith in Jesus and trust Him with my life. Thank you for this film."

Pray for Ariel to be a strong witness for the Lord.
