The Evangelism Podcast features Daniel King interviewing Josh Newell from the Jesus Film Project. The Jesus Film, originally created in 1979, has been translated into over 2,250 languages and serves as a powerful evangelism tool by presenting the Gospel of Luke in people's heart languages. The Jesus Film Project provides multiple resources for evangelists, including a mobile app offering access to 2,200+ language versions of the gospel, downloadable clips for sermons, and portable backpack-sized projector units are available for missionaries and church planters worldwide.

This podcast episode features Evangelism Coach Daniel King interviewing Bill Wolfe from the Jesus Film Project, a ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ (Cru).

Bill Wolfe shares his personal conversion story, explaining how he became a Christian at age 19 in college when a friend shared the Gospel with him using a booklet called "The Four Spiritual Laws." After his conversion, his friend discipled him for three months, meeting five days a week for 30 minutes daily, and encouraged him to participate in evangelism just two and a half weeks after his conversion.

Wolfe describes how the Jesus Film has become a powerful evangelism tool available in over 2,000 languages. The film is recognized in the Guinness Book of World Records as the most translated film in history, with 2,274 languages as of the recording. According to the Guinness Book, the total viewing audience over more than 40 years is approximately 11 billion viewings.

The Jesus Film's effectiveness stems from three key characteristics: it is visual and oral, requiring no literacy; it is presented in viewers' heart languages, the first language they learned; and it contains only the Gospel of Luke. The film has been made available to churches and ministries worldwide at no cost, and is used by over 1,800 denominations and organizations across every country.

Wolfe has served with Cru for 55 years after Dr. Bill Bright challenged him to help fulfill the Great Commission. Bright emphasized that ministry power comes from the Holy Spirit's work in believers' lives, prioritizing right relationships with God and others before discussing strategy.

The Jesus Film Project has developed multiple distribution methods, including the Jesus Film app available on smartphones and solar-powered backpack units for remote areas without internet or electricity. These tools enable evangelists to share the Gospel in any of the film's available languages.
