Many missions organizations have called the JESUS film “one of the greatest evangelistic success stories of all time.”
Jesus Film Project’s goal is to help people experience Jesus in their own language using media tools and momentum-building strategies. The fact that “JESUS” has been recognized by The Guinness Book of World Records as the “Most Translated Film” in history reveals how seriously we take the objective to share the gospel with people from every nation, tribe, and tongue.
Similarly, the Bible is the most translated book in history.
The Bible has been translated into many languages from the biblical languages of Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek. As of 2020 the full Bible has been translated into over 700 languages, and portions of the Bible into an additional 3,600 languages.
