Hungry for the Truth
Friday, August 12th, 2005The Jesus Film Project is a ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ International. They related an event from a recent trip to West Africa in their latest newsletter…
One of the traveling film teams attempted to show “JESUS” to a group of 600 people, but the loud speakers would not function. Despite their efforts to repair the problem, they were forced to announce to the crowd that they would have to come back another night.
“No! No!,” the people cried out. “Don’t stop the ‘JESUS’ film! Go ahead.” In silence, the crowd watched the entire film while the film team workers explained each scene. Being very familiar with the soundtrack after hundreds of showings, the team relayed to the people the words that Jesus was saying. When the film concluded, 312 people received Christ - more than half the audience! That’s the power of His Word!
