The Gospel Brought to Life through Film
Carrollton, TX— February 24, 2004 (GFA) — As The Passion of the Christ hits theaters, people have the opportunity to view perhaps the most riveting film ever made on the sacrifice of Christ. While we certainly pray for revival in this country, millions of people in remote Asian villages have yet to hear about Jesus for the first time.
Through God’s provision, native missionaries with Gospel for Asia are reaching their people with Man of Mercy, a film on the life of Jesus made in India. Viewers do not watch this movie in a theater. Rather, missionaries set up the film outdoors, often drawing large crowds of people. As these precious people see the sacrifice of Jesus for the first time, many respond to His love with tears and weeping.
By God’s grace, tens of thousands have already become Christians through a Man of Mercy showing. Yet 500,000 villages in India alone still lack even one Gospel witness. Pray these communities are soon reached with the hope of Christ.
Established in 1979, Gospel for Asia shares the Good News of Christ and plants churches among the unreached. More than 13,500 indigenous missionaries minister in seven Asian nations: India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, Myanmar, Nepal and Sri Lanka. In the past decade, they have established more than 9,000 churches and nearly 12,000 mission stations. GFA also has 54 Bible colleges on the Indian subcontinent, where 8,000 students are preparing for pioneer evangelism.
