Meanwhile, officials at the Jesus Film Project have some ambitious goals for the current year. We talked with the director of the Jesus Film Project Paul Eshleman. He shares some of the challenges facing the ministry that's attempting to put the story of Jesus in everyone's language around the world. "I think the biggest challenges will be those areas where the Jesus film doesn't have access in the countries to free distribution. We're going to be using extensively the Jesus film on video cassette and audio cassette. We would hope during this year to distribute some 10-million video cassettes throughout the world." According to Eshleman, they're planning to produce the radio version of the Jesus film in more languages this year. "We've developed a five half hour radio programs and rather than push forward to get the Jesus Film completed in some of the smaller languages of 10 or 15,000 people, we're going back and developing it for audiences of 20, 30 and 50-million."
