The JESUS Film is an evangelistic tool that has been used
to show the salvation story of Jesus to over a billion
people since 1979. More than 200 million people have
indicated decisions to accept Christ as their personal
Savior and Lord. It’s been translated into hundreds of
languages; the dialogue has been matched to the actors’ lip movements as closely as possible in each language, allowing
viewers to hear the words from Scripture instead
of reading subtitles.
Some friends in the JESUS Film’s New Media department
recently asked if I’d help them shoot a recreation
of a short scene from the original film as a test for some
future ideas. First. the actors recorded their dialogue to
match the timing and phrasing of the original film. Then,
on the set, they synchronized their dialogue to their own
recorded voices being played back while acting. It had
to be done this way so as to preserve the timing of all
those translations that have already been created. If the
leadership of JESUS Film thinks this is effective, there
could be more updates shot of this incredible resource.

On the set, ready for our close-up!
October seemed to fly by. Our whole family took part in
a campagin our church had for packing seeds to provide
gardens for a quarter million families in India, Africa and
Haiti. It was fun to explain to the kids with each scoop
another family would be fed! The kids enjoyed taking
part in their school’s character parade—Elijah was Spider-man, and Mikayla was Toothless the Night Fury (from
the movie “How to Train Your Dragon”). Heather got
busy making the Toothless costume, and also managed to
make a rather large stuffed shark for Elijah out of material
we had at home. We heard great reports from the kids’ teachers at conferences, which was very encouraging.
Happy Thanksgiving!
