Chelsea and I will be in Australia all of next week, and New Zealand the following week. We get to represent Jesus Film Project at both countries’ National Staff Conferences and help lay the foundation for some amazing outreach opportunities coming up.
In Australia we are working on a nation-wide outreach and training using our smartphone App. In 2016, there were over 300 separately identified languages spoken in Australian homes, and 49% of Australian citizens were either born overseas or have at least one parent who was born overseas. What an opportunity to leverage heart-language focused gospel tools!
In New Zealand, local pastors have a dream of sending mission teams from their churches to surrounding South Pacific islands using the JESUS film to win people to Christ and plant more churches. We get to help them implement that strategy!
