“It seems that the films are answering or touching on questions that really matter. Having a WhatsApp group for discipleship means that the low-resolution version of the film can be shared, and the participants are thankful for this. It also means that conversation can continue through the week. We have an English team of 6, two of whom have been on the Al Massira training.”
“One person is using the films in the private school (Lebanese Christian school) where he teaches Religious Education – during the Religious Education lessons.”
“A friend started leading an AM group with 7 leaders each Monday using the video & materials. Then on Fridays each of the 7 do a bible discussion with a small group of people – of the 40 people about half are not yet believers yet are interested to learn about Jesus. One commented, “So the Jesus who we will see in Heaven, is the same Jesus who walked with Adam & Eve in the Garden, the same Jesus who met with Abraham, and who wrestled with Jacob… it’s all the same Jesus that we will see! He’s the same yesterday, today, forever. Incredible!”
“I started to share with a friend the AM ‘Intro’ video and he demanded some privacy, so we used a laptop. Later, he asked to take the videos home so he can watch them alone a second time. On Episode 4, he left the video at home while he went to work. His daughters found the video and watched it alone. His wife also saw the video and watched it alone. It took two months before the wife picked up courage to ask him about the video and what he was doing with it. In total panic, the man realised his entire family had watched the video. Today, almost all members of his family have started to follow Jesus. They have already completed Al Massira and they are now part of a bible study group in their own house.”
