Presented here is a small list of testimonies from people who have used the Evangelistic Videos as a way of sharing the gospel. It is hoped that they will encourage you to give it a go yourself.
'... A film ministry has just begun here. Having obtained a TV set of our own we are using it along side a hired VCP and generator to show Christian films (Deccani Evangelistic Video) . . as a way of presenting the Gospel to people. We do this once a week with times of fellowship and snacks.'
'Just yesterday we had the 'Movie', about 25 adults, and several kids came. People liked it very much, understood everything, no complaints! It's really very powerful and the darkness gets a hit and is exposed.
One guy said, 'What must I do to become a Christian?'. Another lady said, ' I believe everything! (The testimonies blow their mind! ) 'It this real? Are there really Tibetan Christians?'
We are very satisfied and will show it everywhere' ... The Tibetan evangelistic video has been used mightily by the Lord. I don’t know of any single tool that has had this kind of response among people. Many mission agencies are using it with similar reports.'
'I can't believe you never saw the 'jamat' video. It was done in Indonesia by the Create folks, and meant yo be a 'how to' video for current and prospective jamat leaders ... however, one of he recipients decided to show it to some contacts who had been wavering on the verge of coming to faith. Having seen the video, the contacts immediately said that they wanted to come to faith ...
...apparently a key issue had been that in spite of the contextualised approach being used, the contacts still thought that when all was said and done they would still be required to attend their local church building and become fully Christian.'
'The evangelistic video has been very well received. Nearly everyone who has seen it wants a copy to show to friends. It is the first and only video in their heart language. We are in the midst of duplicating 500 more VCD's for use in our area.'
'Working with Create International to produce films for the Wolof of West Africa was an unforgettable experience. The team did an excellent job of adapting their ministry to the context in which they worked. As a result, they created two high quality films: a Video People Profile for churches and potential missionaries to see, as well as a local-language evangelistic film for the Wolof. The Photo CD was also great–I ordered 10 copies to distribute to adopting churches and other team members! In the fast moving pace of Western society, it is essential to have tools like a Video People Profile in order to communicate what God is doing among the unreached peoples. In the underdeveloped and unreached areas of the world like West Africa, people are gaining more and more access to television and other media.
Films in their heart language help us to insure that one of the first films that they will ever see, will be a film that uses their language and culture to proclaim the message of Jesus Christ. My prayer is that God will use the Video People Profile to raise up prayer support, and to call out missionaries from churches that are not yet involved in God’s mission. I also pray that every Wolof person in the world will have at least one opportunity to see the evangelistic video that Create produced just for them.'
