THE Jesus film recently hit a major milestone. The most translated film of all time is now available in 1,000 languages.  

Lanka Kol is “a language many Canadians have probably never heard of,” says Jack Robertson, national director of The Jesus Film Project, Canada. “There are more than one million people in India who speak Lanka Kol – and now we have the opportunity to begin sharing the gospel story with them in their own language.”  

The modestly produced 1979 film, he maintains, “has become one of, if not the most, effective tool for evangelism ever created.”

The ministry hopes to translate the film into an additional 500 languages – including every tongue with more than 100,000 speakers. Contact: jesusfilm.ca.             – DFD
