«The Most Important Story Ever Told»
Developed by WorldServe Ministries, The Most Important Story Ever Told (La Historia Más Importante del Mundo) presents God's plan of salvation, from Adam and Eve to Christ's birth, death and resurrection.
Narrated by a family in a cartoon format, and more in-depth than a traditional track, this 32-page colourfully-illustrated booklet is one that children cherish for years. It also reaches beyond the children to their family members as each kid brings one home from school after viewing The Story of Jesus for Children.
Project Jesus For Children
ABOUT US
History
Project Jesus for Children was born in Costa Rica in 2001 as God placed in the the hearts of the Davidson Family and the local Campus Crusade staff the vision for reaching Latin America's most valuable resource, her children, with the good news of Jesus Christ.
Two months after «The Story of Jesus for Children» came out in Spanish, it was played on national television in Costa Rica on the most widely viwed channel during Easter week.
Scrolled several times across the bottom of the sreen were the words: "If you want this film shown in your school, please call the following number."
And people in the local Campus Crusade office were receiving calls for two hours straight. With that kind of a send off, all that was needed was the recommendation of the national education authorities.
God granted us favour with the Archbishop of Costa Rica, and also with the Ministry of Education and they gave the project letters of recommendation. Within a couple of years the ministry had expanded to include Nicaragua, and only a year later, Panama as well. We continue to seek God's favour with the educational authorities as the work moves forward.
«The Story of Jesus for Children Film»
This video uses 40 minutes of the original «Jesus film» and integrates into the drama 22 minutes of footage with children who might have lived in A.D. 30.
The child characters in the film hear the stories of the Man from Nazareth who heals the sick and raises dead. They struggle to make sense of it all-some are from families who believe Jesus is the Son of God, others from families who don't. They watch Jesus from the crowds. They follow Him to see what this incredible man, who loves children, will do next. They see him betrayed, wrongly accused, crucified and buried. But they remember the promise of Jesus and believe they will see Him again.
(The clip is in Spanish, as we present it to the children)
At the conclusion of the video, the leading child character, Benjamin, reviews what he has learned and leads viewers to invite Jesus into their lives. This format for the video's close enhances this powerful tool for reaching children with the Gospel.
