JESUS: He Lived Among Us

Today I wanted to tell you about a GREAT opportunity you have to help us with a new film project called JESUS: He Lived Among Us.

If you read our monthly newsletter, you may have already heard about this opportunity.  If you don't receive our newsletter, which is completely FREE, please click here.

This exciting film is a unique look at the life of Jesus, from the view of John, the disciple whom Jesus loved and was exiled to Patmos.

Todd Nettleton explains about the purpose behind this new film in an interview with Mission Network News...

"This telling of the story really kind of brings out the persecution aspect, that you know Christ died on a cross; He was persecuted. And His followers also were persecuted. So it tells the story of Christ--very Scriptural--and yet kind of with a little bit more of a look from the persecuted church angle than what you see in other Jesus stories," explains Todd Nettleton.

The 90-minute film, "Jesus: He Lived Among Us," is the life of Christ as told by the last living disciple, John, who himself suffered a great deal of persecution.

...

Those who have been persecuted firsthand for their belief in Christ may find this film a blessing in two ways. "I think it will be an incredible inspiration. It will also be an incredible tool for them to share the Gospel," says Nettleton.

VOM is working to make this tool as helpful as possible by focusing on dubbing the film in the 12 most-common languages from the most restricted areas in the world. Once the film is finished, it will be available for free for anyone who would like to use it. VOM hopes to partner with other ministries who will help distribute the film to others on the mission field.

The film is not yet completed, even in English, and will hopefully be done sometime this summer. Nettleton projects the 12 language dubbings should be ready by the end of the year.

You can learn more about partnering with VOM to distribute the film, watch a trailer, or track the film's progress at www.persecution.com/JesusTranslation.

And please keep this project in prayer!
