Jesus Film Project

Jesus Film Project

The JESUS Film Project is an evangelical organization created in 1981 by Campus Crusade for Christ founder Bill Bright to distribute the 1979 film, "Jesus", not only in English, but many of the world's languages with the stated goal of reaching "every nation, tribe, people and tongue, helping them see and hear the story of Jesus in a language they can understand."

History

Bright wanted to bring a biblically-accurate depiction of the life, ministry, and death of Jesus to the big screen, and in 1978, filming began in the Middle East with British Shakespearean actor Brian Deacon in the role of Jesus.

When the original American theatrical run of "Jesus" ended in 1979, Bright asked Paul Eshleman, who was involved in the production, to head the organization. Eshleman remained in the position until 2004, when Jim Green was named as the organization's executive director [ [http://www.demossnewspond.com/jfp/presskit/jgreen.htm The JESUS Film Project Newsroom - Press Kit ] ] .

International Activities

Since 1981, "Jesus" has been translated into 1,006 languages and shown in 228 nations [ [http://www.jesusfilm.org/progress/translations.html The JESUS Film Project +++ TRANSLATIONS ] ] . It is available in DVD, VHS, and audio-only formats. The organization states that, with a cumulative audience in excess of 4 billion, "Jesus" is the most-watched film ever produced.

A specially-made version for children, called "The Story of Jesus for Children" is also available in over 100 languages.
