JESUS Film Stories
Bringing Peace
Bangladesh
April 20, 2011
After sunset, we reached the village and set up our JESUS Film equipment in the front yard of Brother Jaman. The villagers came to watch the film. At one point, a group of young men came and argued with our host Brother Jaman. They started beating him. The anger spread through the crowd and people grabbed us by our collars and pushed us. They almost broke our equipment. But we praise God that He protected from the evil desires of the men. God gave us words and strength to our voices. We fought back with God's power.
We loudly told them, "We are not ruining the peace in this village. We are showing the people how to find peace in the world. Our Lord Jesus came down to the world to save the sinners from hell. You are the people who are ruining the peace." We were ready to die for the Christ and so we told them, "Kill us and the name of Jesus will be glorified through our work and sacrifices." The men began to calm down and left the area.
After they left, we praised God for helping us to resolve the problem. We prayed for the remaining viewers and finished showing the JESUS Film. Many viewers had questions after the show was over. Many people came to know Christ and we were able to set up a preaching point.
Demon Cast Out
Zambia
March 04, 2011
A woman had been wearing a necklace given to her by a witch doctor years before. She was told the day she took it off, she would die. Following a JESUS Film showing, she went forward to accept Jesus Christ. An evil spirit manifested itself in her and she fell to the ground. Team members prayed for her and cast out the demon. She ended up accepting Christ into her life and testified about all that happened to her while she wore the necklace. The necklace was given to the team for them to burn.
Jesus Helped the Poor
Bangladesh
January 25, 2011
A man named Prodip allowed us to show the JESUS Film in his yard. After the showing of the film, Prodip's wife, Rupali, cried out to the crowd, "Jesus helped many poor people like us. Those people killed Him on the cross. I've never heard about such a cruel incident in my life." After she spoke, the team told the crowd that Jesus sacrificed His life for everyone—the sinners of the world. Rupali cried out again, "I want to leave my sinful life and follow Jesus." Many viewers proclaimed that they also wanted to get rid of their sinful lives. After preaching, we offered a special prayer for the people. Prodip, Rupali, and some other viewers expressed their desire to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior. We give thanks to our Lord that we have been able to start a mission church in this area.
I Can't Read
Democratic Republic of Congo

My name is Jean Marie. I can't read. This film, for me, is a really good tool which teaches the message of the gospel to us in our mother tongue with pictures. May God bless those who bring these showings to our land.

Jesus Still Commands the Evil Spirits to Leave -
Tanzania
April 28, 2010
“In the film, when Jesus commanded the evil spirit to leave the man and enter the pigs, an old woman fell on the ground and started screaming for help,” said the team member in Tanzania. “We started to pray for her and she began to speak in a strange way. She said, ‘This is my body don’t take it away from me!’ We immediately knew we were dealing with demons in her. She lost consciousness. We continued to pray for her. Minutes later she opened her eyes and testified. She told us that she had been having a lot of nightmares. But after our prayers, she felt like a different person. She was among those who accepted Christ that night.”

At the end of the show, a team member explained how to live a life that is pleasing to God offering Daniel an opportunity to acknowledge his wrong doings to God. Daniel’s confession allowed him to have a personal relationship with Jesus. He is now living in peace that comes from knowing Christ and is working to overcome his difficulties.
Bitten by a Viper -
Panama
March 31, 2010
Before knowing Christ, I did not believe in the power of God but I was impacted by the JESUS Film. When I saw the miracles Jesus did, I was able to understand that He is powerful and I surrendered my life to the Lord. I testify that I am a woman of much faith. Since coming to know Christ, I have experienced His saving grace. One night, I walked through my backyard and I felt something bite me. I went straight to the hospital. The doctors told me I was bitten by a viper; I know God saved me!
