Touching the lives of Palestinian Arabs with the love of Jesus at Christmas.
Here’s some exciting news for the Christmas season in the Middle East…..
The DAMASCUS film — a movie made by Arab Christians in Syria which tells the story of Saul seeing Jesus on the road to Damascus, and how he became Paul, the greatest apostle of all time — aired today on national TV in Lebanon. Specifically, it aired on OTV, a network run by Lebanese militia leader Gen. Michel Aoun.
Yesterday, Palestinian Christians premiered the DAMASCUS film in Jerusalem for 300 Arabs to reach them with the gospel message in the week leading up to Christmas. In recent days, a premier for the film was also held in Amman, Jordan, and some 700 Arabs attended. Please pray the Lord would continue to use this film in mighty ways in reaching Muslims and nominal Christians with the truth of God’s wonderful love and amazing grace. Earlier this year, The Joshua Fund invested $300,000 to produce and distribute 300,000 copies of the film in Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, the West Bank and Gaza. Nearly all of those copies have now been distributed to Muslim and nominal Christian families.
Meanwhile, we wanted to let you know that last week The Joshua Fund helped finance two evangelistic Christmas parties in Jerusalem that were organized and run by Palestinian Christians with the hopes of reaching their Muslim neighbors with the good news of Jesus Christ’s birth, death, and resurrection. Nearly 400 women attended the luncheon party, while some 200 men attended the evening party. They saw a gospel drama, heard Arab Christians share from the Scriptures, shared a meal together, and received gift bags that included several Christian books. Please be praying that the Lord draws Palestinian, Lebanese, Jordanian and Syrian Arabs to Himself this Christmas season.
