Film: An International Ministry -  925 days ago

 

Each month, Darwin and the other three evangelists show films to as many as 4,000 people, and about 800 make commitments to Christ. The evangelists document their efforts with reports and photos, which Darwin eagerly shows as he talks about what God has done in churches across the country. He picks up one particular picture and smiles, pointing to someone who looks like a woman but is really a 22-year-old man.

“This man was a homosexual and believed that he was a woman. After watching The Climb, he accepted Christ. He said that as he watched the film, he felt so alone. When it ended, we prayed for him. He accepted Jesus Christ and began attending church, reading his Bible and acting like a man.” Flipping to an “after” photo of the young man, Darwin adds, “Now, a year later, he’s getting married!”

You can read more here about the ministry of the Jiminez family as film evangelists in Latin America. Of the Worldwide Pictures films I’ve seen, their scripts haven’t been outstanding – some were good, some were a bit lame. But, that being said, God is using them to reach people with truth. Be encouraged by that. Your video project might be lacking in areas, but God can use it. I’m not saying don’t strive for excellence. I AM saying that you should do the best you can and then leave the results to God. Do all for His glory and let Him bring increase. This article is also a reminder to me not to look down on the amateur Christian films I run across. Maybe they’re lacking in a lot of areas, but God could still use them (I just won’t expect them to be a Hollywood hit!)
