Friday afternoon we met with our JESUS Film staff in Sao Paulo. It was exciting to hear their vision for expanding the ministry from 7 to 27 cities in the coming years. The movement is truly nationalized. I am so encouraged by their lives and by their burden to connect lost Brazilians to Jesus.In the evening the Sao Paulo team organized an outreach event that our team attended. Jim Green the Executive Director of the JESUS Film was the speaker. As he shared the love of Christ, several people made life-changing commitments to follow Jesus. Two guys from our team, Mark and Ralph, shared what it has meant to them to be followers of Jesus.
One of the guys who attended was a taxi driver named Edson. A year ago, one of our ministry partners, Phil Kenney from Faith Comes by Hearing rode in Edson's cab and gave him a set of CD's with the complete audio New Testament. Edson told us how he had listened through the set four times! The most astounding thing to me is that he didn't commit his life to Christ until after he had listened through three times to the entire New Testament. He is now in a discipleship group.Below is a photo of Edson sharing his story with Jim Green of the JESUS Film.
