Some of you may know about the Jesus film. It has been translated into a number of languages and is in use in a number of countries worldwide. Sue, Eddie’s wife and a friend of mine, is involved in translating this around Madagascar into languages that don’t have access to the Bible.
But, as Eddie says,
While this is an amazing effort to make the Scriptures available in visual form around the world, it has to be admitted that the Jesus film has aged much more rapidly than most written Bible translations do and now looks rather old fashioned. Updating the film by reshooting it might be possible though it would cost a fortune – and all of the different language scripts would need to be re-recorded. So one concept is to remake the film in Japanese cartoon – anime – style. This four minute video illustrates the concept.
Please watch this short video and provide feedback at the end. I know this would help them hugely.
