Jesus Film

Based on the Gospel of Luke, the "JESUS" film has now been translated into more than 1,160 languages, with new languages being added every month. This allows God’s Word to speak to people in more than 200 countries in languages they know and understand. By God’s grace, it is yielding a spiritual harvest of unprecedented results.

Every eight seconds, somewhere in the world, another person indicates a decision to follow Christ after watching the "JESUS" film. Every eight seconds... that's 10,800 people per day, 324,000 per month and more than 3.8 million per year!

How can any single film reach so many people and touch so many lives? It is the power of the Word of God in their heart language. View a daily updated list of "JESUS" Film versions and translations.



Global Recordings

Global Recordings Network (GRN) is a leading provider of Christian evangelistic and discipleship audio visual materials to the least reached language groups of the world. GRN's passion is to work where there are no translated Scriptures and no viable local church, or where a written Scripture or portion is available but where there are few if any who can read it or make sense of it.

Audio visual materials are a particularly powerful evangelism medium as they communicate the gospel in story format suitable for oral learners. GRN recordings can be downloaded free of charge from their website, and distributed via CD's, email, Bluetooth and other media.

Most of GRN's over 6,000 recordings can be downloaded for free from their website for you to distribute to your friends. Or you can listen right on the website.



God's Story

An exciting 80-minute video project called "God's Story: From Creation To Eternity" presents the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. Designed for the more than 80 percent of the world's population that cannot or does not read, this panorama of the Scriptures throughout the Old and New Testaments highlights God's plan to rescue fallen mankind.

Through over 300 translations of the Bible video God's Story: From Creation to Eternity, multiplied millions can now hear the Gospel in an effective chronological storytelling format.

God's Story bible video provides an easy to understand ... entertaining ... yet enlightening overview of the Holy Scripture upon which Christian beliefs are based.
