MINISTRY PARTNER
The staff have already gotten equipment into the hands of ministry partners across the continent more efficiently and effectively .
2022 , partners now receive their equipment within a matter of days — whereas it previously took months or even years .
“ Today , my heart is flourishing with joy ,” said Dr . Farai Katsande , vice president of Africa for Campus Crusade for Christ International ®. “ That dream [ of having a distribution center in Africa ] did not die a dream , but today we gather as Africans … and we can say that we believe in this .”
CHRIST ’ S STORY CHANGES LIVES “ Life seemed like a nightmare ,” Tatiana * recalled . Her husband had cheated on her , drunk heavily , and beaten her severely . She and her daughter had no safe choice but to leave him . As a single parent , Tatiana faced the challenges of providing for her daughter alone .
In the spring of 2021 , as Tatiana surfed the internet , she saw that an old friend , Ekaterina , had posted a link to the Magdalena film . “ I rarely watch films because I have to work hard and take my daughter to school ,” she said . But this film captured her interest . She clicked on the link and couldn ’ t stop watching . She said , “ With tears in my eyes , I watched the
film to the end .”
Afterward , Tatiana couldn ’ t sleep for a long time ; she reflected on her life and said she realized she wasn ’ t living right . Hoping to learn more about God and wanting to change her life , she wrote to her friend . Ekaterina invited Tatiana to a small Bible study group , where she learned about Christ and God ’ s Word step by step . Through the Holy Spirit ’ s leading , Tatiana prayed and repented of her sins .
Now she says she cannot live a day without the Bible ! She trusts in Jesus and tries to tell others about the hope she finds in Him . “ God changed me — changed my perception of this world ,” Tatiana proclaimed . “ In my soul , there are no more worries .”
Just as a flame requires fuel , so does a partnership . Thousands of churches , schools , organizations , and individuals are using Jesus Film Project ® resources in their ministries to reach the next generation of believers worldwide . Testimonies of God ’ s faithfulness through these partnerships continue to grow , and the story of Jesus is reaching more communities than Jesus Film Project could ever have done alone . You are the fuel for these partnerships . Thank you .
Because of Run for the Son , Jesus Film Project produces new translations of JESUS and other media . We provide the tools ( films , projector equipment , NewLife Boxes , etc .) and teams for people to hear the Gospel and see the story of Jesus in their heart language .
Thank you for your involvement in CMA and your investment in Run for the Son ! You make a huge difference through your partnership . You ’ re reaching people for Jesus , both near and far , one heart at a time . JESUS FILM
