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!

Swahili HOPE in Tanzania

  • Posted: 2019-10-01

  A woman from Minnesota, named Thelma, purchased a download of The Swahili HOPE from our store. She is a nurse     and is taking a trip to Tanzania where she will spend many weeks with the Maasai people, offering them medical help       as well as sharing the Good News!  Friends gifted her with a solar-powered projector, etc. and she'll hang a sheet on the   side of a mud hut and show The HOPE. 

 

The Maasai have their own heart language, Maa, but many also speak Swahili which is the national language of Tanzania as well as at least 12 other countries.

HOPE from the Heavens

  • Posted: 2019-05-08

HOPE from the Heavens satellite 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.

 Time and again our partners get messages from viewers like this one from a man in Iraq:

 "Hi everyone, I'm thirty years old and I've been watching your programs for three months. I've gotten very familiar with Jesus now and feel so happy. I have so much hope for the future! I'm sensing that my Lord Jesus Christ will transform all of my problems and struggles in life to hope and joy. If only I knew Jesus would give me so much joy and hope, I would have gotten to know Him a lot sooner." 

 And, this message from a woman in Iran:

 "It's truly a miracle that I met Christ. I cried to God that we had no resources and we had been kept from the truth. Even after 2,000 years, we are not allowed to choose to follow Jesus. We have to worship Him secretly....praise the Lord a thousand times for this valuable broadcast."

HOPE in the Hospital

  • Posted: 2019-05-08

 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.

The First Believers in Their Village

  • Posted: 2019-03-26

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. 

Excited to see the movie, Lalita invited her father to join her. After viewing The HOPE, they both gave their lives to Jesus!

Our partner told us that Lalita and her father are the very first Believers in their village. It is possible that they are among the very first Believers of all Bankariya peoples!
