JESUS speaks their language too...
From Day one, my mission was clear. I was a christian and this company where God placed me was my mission field.
Every christmas was a wonderful opportunity to write a personal note of thanks to all who had worked on some production with me during the year. I included a tract with every note. I used biligual and cartoon tracts. Some even pinned the tract on their cubicle wall in front of them as decoration.
The last christmas before I left, I asked God for something different to give my colleagues who each had a sizable tract collection by now. :] God's answer came to me on the day after christmas.... give them the JESUS film! It was a brilliant idea. The JESUS film spoke a language that production people could relate to - the language of production.
After I distributed more than 100 copies of the vcd, I got some feedback.
The head of set design and props watched the movie and was impressed with the authentic setting, wardrobe and props. The head of sound production was impressed with the quality of the sound effects and soundtrack. She said it was realistic. An actor remarked that the role of Jesus was the ultimate role to die for. How ironic.... :] A producer brought the movie home to watch with her family. Her maid requested a copy to watch with her friends.
It is exciting to know that production people can be reached in their own language - the language of their craft. I pray that my ex-colleagues would look beyond the movie and be touched by the person of Jesus and his sacrifice for them on calvary's cross.
I continue to pray that all who received a copy of the JESUS film would watch the movie at least once and make that important decision that would change their lives and destinies forever.
