Film team shares message of peace in violent African prison

A "JESUS" film team traveled to a harsh prison in an African country, unnamed for security reasons, reports MNN.

The warden initially refused to allow them in, but when the team suggested that Jesus could bring peace to his prison, he had a change of heart. Most of the inmates had never heard the Gospel. At the end of the film, many indicated a desire to trust Christ. The response was so strong that the team asked the warden if they could show "JESUS" again later.

The team also established a New Life Training Center in the prison, to disciple the new believers. According to the ministry, when the graduation ceremony for those who completed the NLTC training was held, there were 1,000 inmates in attendance.

Each gave a testimony of how Jesus had radically changed his life. That night, 47 more prisoners surrendered their lives to the Lord.

Pray that their new faith takes root. Also pray that God prepares them to capture a clear vision for ministry. Ask God for wisdom for the team as they use their resources to invest in the work of film evangelism and church planting.
