Prayer & Praise

"He loved all humankind," said Ramesh in India. "The brothers showed the JESUS Film in our village. I saw God give His only son for all humankind. Jesus died on the cross for us all. He healed many people. I was happy to see all these things in the film. He taught me to love other people. Please pray for me and my family."
Pray for Ramesh and his family to be blessed through the shared love of Jesus Christ.
"It was a muddy place," said the team member in the Philippines. "We were scheduled to show the JESUS Film and were thankful there was only mud and no rain. We were able to make a contact in the area and have started fellowship groups for children, youth, and adults."
Praise God for using the JESUS Film as a way to begin discipleship for new believers.
"This was the first time I heard the teachings of Jesus," said Jorge in Guatemala. "I am thankful for the JESUS Film. I heard Jesus teach His disciples. I want to grow in the knowledge of God."
Praise God for giving Jorge the desire to know Him better!
