NEW ‘JESUS’ DVD POWERFUL TOOL FOR MASS EVANGELISM
2004 ‘Divine Window of Opportunity’ to Convert Interest in Christ into Decisions
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT:
SAN BERNARDINO, CA (ANS) -- JESUS Video Project America (JVPA), a ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ, has released the “JESUS” movie in digitally re-mastered and expanded-content DVD format, making it “one of the most powerful and effective tools for mass evangelism available today.”
A more current and versatile technology than traditional VHS video, the new DVD features enhanced video quality and offers “JESUS” in seven languages and four subtitle languages, plus a scene-by-scene commentary. It includes the movie “The Story of Jesus for Children” and other features.
“The release of the new ‘JESUS’ DVD is especially relevant at this time, given increased interest in the life of Jesus and ‘faith and film’ created by movies like ‘The Gospel of John’ and Mel Gibson’s ‘The Passion of the Christ,’” said Kevin Mascaro, JVPA executive director.
“We have a divine window of opportunity in 2004 to convert the interest of this ‘sight and sound’ generation into decisions for Christ by distributing free copies of the new ‘JESUS’ DVD to as many homes as possible across America. ‘JESUS’ is not just informative and moving. It gives viewers the opportunity to give their lives to Christ and encourages them to be connected to a local church.”
Mascaro said JVPA is looking for Christian leaders across the country that have a heart of evangelism for their community to initiate a local “JESUS” DVD distribution effort. Those interested in viewing the new “JESUS” and JVPA’s “Vision” video, or requesting a free “Vision Kit,” should visit www.jesusvideo.org or call toll-free 1-888-JESUS-36 (537-8736), he said.
The “JESUS” movie is a 94-minute United States edition of the two-hour “JESUS” film developed by Campus Crusade for Christ. The meticulously accurate, non-confrontational motion picture, translated into more than 800 languages and viewed more than 5 billion times worldwide, is the most watched film in history.
JESUS Video Project America, founded in 1992 by the late Dr. Bill Bright, plans to mass mail free copies of “JESUS” to all 122 million homes in the United States using its volunteer “saturation evangelism” strategy. Almost 20 million “JESUS” videos – one for every six homes in the United States – have been distributed to date. Three states – South Carolina, Alabama, and Hawaii – have completed statewide distributions.
