The Jesus Film

Twice a week a team travels from the ship deep into Benin's countryside to show the Jesus Film to villagers. The film is available in many different languages - even in Fon and other less-used local Beninoise languages, and tells the story of Jesus, and is a powerful tool for evangelism. The Team takes a couple of Land Rovers with them, and hangs a large screen off the back of one, and projects the movie from inside the vehicle onto the screen. A little generator provides the power. Hundreds of thousands of people have seen the Jesus Film in this manner over the last few years, and thousands and thousands have made a commitment. The Team always works with local pastors who translate and encourage those who have made a commitment - sometimes this involves church planting or even church building in areas where there has previously been no Christian presence. Good job! Olly
