Imagine what it must be like to hear about Jesus for the very first time, hearing and seeing the amazing stories of Jesus in your own heart-language! That’s what it’s like for the Zhuang of China’s Guangxi Province as they watch this film, which Create International produced.
House churches invited Zhuang people to come and see this new film.
They were not prepared for the joy this film would bring; real hope, forgiveness, and eternal life, in this world and in the world to come! Zhuang faces showed sadness when Jesus died for them on the cross, and smiled with delight as Jesus conquered death by rising from the dead. The film can potentially reach two million Zhuangs with this message of hope.

BIBLE STUDY: 1 Peter 1:13

PRAY: That the Zhuang people, and other Chinese minorities, will continue to know the Good News.
