Swahili HOPE in Kenya
- Posted: 2019-10-05
Kenya is also one of 13+ countries that speak Swahili. Earlier this year, a women's mission trip from Sagement Church in Houston, TX took The Swahili HOPE as one of the tools they would use to share the love of Jesus with some of the neediest in Kenya. For many of the women they encountered, it was their first time seeing a movie (and their first time eating popcorn, too!) And so special that many were also introduced to God's love and salvation for them for the first time!
Multiple times a year The HOPE is broadcast throughout the Middle East in Arabic, Farsi, and Turkish. Each of these broadcasts goes out to tens of millions of households. Our broadcast partners have secure methods to respond to viewers who have spiritual questions and prayer requests. Sometimes these satellite programs and responders are the only contact that isolated believers have with other Christians.
Medical and dental missionaries in Cameroon Africa obtained DVDs of The HOPE, both in French and in English with African Storytellers, to show in the waiting room of the hospital. The doctors told us that one of their greatest joys is to talk with the patients about what they saw in The HOPE. They also aquired the rights to distribute low resolution download copies which are suitable for veiwing on smart phones. They give these copies to people who are interested in watching the movie again and also to people while making house calls. 
April of 2018, in a remote Bankariya village in Nepal, one of our ministry partners showed The Nepali HOPE on a solar-powered movie projector. The Bankariya are an unreached people group of about 500 people. Their heart language is Awadhi, but they speak Nepali as a second language. They live in scattered small villages in the Chure mountain range of Nepal.
