A film assists an international church planting movement.

International (JFP)–More than 200 “JESUS” Film teams have participated in the church planting strategy in 2003.

These teams committed to starting 10 new mission churches each through the JESUS Film ministry in 2003. They report starting 2,096 new mission churches this year (reports for November and December not in yet).

With the goal of planting 10,000 new mission churches by 2010, JESUS Film Harvest Partners desires that the Church of the Nazarene will be Jesus to a world that is seeking truth and peace.

Dr. Louie Bustle, World Mission Department Director says: “We are excited about our new mission church plants and have already exceeded our goal for this year. This refocus has been of the Lord. When we talk about new mission church plants, we are talking about new groups holding regular services each week. The JESUS Film is bringing new believers into these new church plants.”

Keep on praying that our field leadership will nurture and bring these church plants to maturity.
