Remote Kenyan Villagers Hear the Gospel

A "JESUS" film team attempted to set up a large home-sewn nylon screen to show the film, but it would not cooperate with the rounded walls of the Kenyan village huts. Refusing to give up, they used a portable DVD player with an eight-and-a-half-inch screen to show the "JESUS" film. At first only three men watched the film, but by the time it finished, 80-90 people had gathered around the tiny screen. Dave, a team member, remarked that although some people were standing 35 feet away, it was obvious they were listening. In the week following, the team showed the JESUS film several more times in the village-this time on the big screen.

Later a Kenyan national missionary visited the village, and 22 men came to see her one by one, asking questions about Jesus. Each man said, "Don't tell anybody else I've done this." Praise God that since then, some of those men found the courage to come forward, and seven baptisms took place in one month!
