Christians Unite Across Churches For Jesus Video Delivery
In Shafter, Christians from multiple churches gathered at the Congregation Church annex to plan Saturday’s distribution of the Jesus Video. Volunteers raised 8000 dollars to fund bags with videos and church invitations, left on doors to invite neighbors to explore Christ. The project emphasizes Christmas as a time to share the gospel, with signs around town urging residents to watch and decide about God’s gift. Through Luke’s account the video explains salvation and Jesus’s purpose, without favoring any single church.
