Jen, a student at Brown University, participated in a "JESUS" film showing in Uganda last summer. Here's what she wrote:

"The 'JESUS' film was such a success! About 3,500 people showed up to see the film. ...Many were amazed that they could see Jesus speaking their language. Whenever a miracle would show, they would clap and rejoice. It was beautiful for me just to watch their reactions.

"At the end of the film...a call was made to all who wanted to accept Him. ...over 200 stayed behind and prayed for salvation. Yes 200!! And that's not even counting the children. ...I was holding this light bulb, because it was very dark by the end of the movie. Everyone gathered around me and prayed in Acholi. Although I didn't understand the exact words, I could feel the Holy Spirit working. I could feel this mass of souls just being born! ...that moment, hands down, is now the best moment of my life! Just seeing the power that God has to change lives when they are ready. ...He did all the work, and it showed."
