was released today here >in >Arabic to a handful of Qataris in the secret of a
home setting. In the >coming weeks, potentially tens of thousands of
Arab Muslims will see >this powerful portrayal of Christ's suffering and
death. In two short >hours, more Qataris heard the Gospel than I have
been able to reach in >nearly five years of living here. > >The Arabic subtitles were completely accurate -
they didn't water >anything down or change any language that Muslims
would not agree with. >All of us watched the film in absolute amazement
in what God had done. >The Muslims sitting around us were being moved -
gasping, crying and >reacting with disgust to the brutality that Jesus
faced. > >Now - if you have heard anything about why the
Arab Muslims would want >to see the film, you know that it is because they
'heard' it was >anti-Jewish and since they hate the Jews, they
want to see it. How >interesting that God is using this film to
communicate the Gospel and >the very opposite spirit that might be motivating
them to go and see >it. The message to love your enemies, and Jesus
praying for them to be >forgiven while on the Cross would hit the Muslim
theatre-goer in a >powerful way. > >Please pray for these urgent requests: > >1. That this film will be allowed to be shown for
a significant period >of time. It is being shown in three different
theatres, up to four >times a day. Fundamentalists will surely be in an
uproar about this >unprecedented event. Just when we thought
Satellite television was >going to be the most significant way for the Lord
to sow the seeds of >the Gospel, this film arrives in Muslim nations!
2. That this film will >cause a major shaking and stirring in the hearts
of many Muslims, >leading them to salvation. 3. That God will lead
us to men and women >who have been/will be impacted by this powerful
film. > >REPORT FROM > >The film is so popular here that they have been
canceling the other >films to show 'The Passion' in all the theatres at
the cinema complex. >I took a friend on the second night. The film was
running in all three >theatres. I would estimate that well over 50% of
the people in the >theatre were local Muslims including women
completely veiled. You could >see how this film had impacted everyone. On the
second day, several of >the local newspapers had the advertisement for the
film on the >frontpage. > >It appears that even >albeit through pirated DVD's. There are no movie
theatres in Saudi > >Apostle Paul writes: "It is true that some
preach Christ out of envy >and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. The
latter do so in love. The >former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not
sincerely. But what >does it matter? The important thing is that in
every way (e.g. pirated >DVDs) the true Christ is preached. And because of
this I rejoice". >(Philippians 1:15-18) > >The release was very timely. The killing of
Palestinian Hamas leader >Sheikh Ahmad Yassin happened the morning after the
film was released. >The Arab response has been a whole new wave of
hatred for the Jews, >which was illustrated in a large public
demonstration/march yesterday. >At a time when the urge for Muslims to hate has
been renewed, the Lord >has brought 'The Passion' telling them - 'No, love
your enemies! >Forgive them!' The contrast is staggering. > >[Note from JOEL NEWS: Palestinian leader Yasser
Arafat watched 'The >Passion of the Christ' at a private screening in
the >Ramallah, and made a positive statement about it.] > >Just today a couple of local women asked me,
"Do you have the New >Testament in Arabic? Me and all my friends want to
read it!" Another >asked about where to get the Arabic Bible on the
internet. This has >never happened! The film is generating so much
interest in Jesus and >the Scriptures. Every Christian we are talking to
seems to have a story >of two just like this one. May it continue to
increase. > >There have been several articles in the paper, all
positive and >surprisingly silent in terms of emphasizing the
Islamic belief that >Jesus did not die on the cross. People are talking
about wanting to go >and see it. Pray that many would watch this movie
and that it would >spark an interest and hunger to know more of Jesus
and the Bible. Pray >that hearts would be drawn by the love of Jesus.
Pray that believers >would make the most of this opportunity to talk
with their friends, to >be available for those who will be impacted by
what they see. > >END > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >Privileged/Confidential Information may be
