In Tonti, Nigeria, a man is so moved by watching The JESUS Film that he expresses his faith in Christ. The moment is life-changing. “He used to talk to me harshly, drink excessively and never cared to stay home,” says his wife. “Now he is changed. Please kindly teach me, too. I want to follow you people.”

The couple began to attend a newly planted church in Tonti. The church is an outgrowth of the hard work of End to End, an innovative church-planting project that brings international and local partners together to fulfill Jesus’ commission to share the gospel.

This initiative engages the unreached and predominantly oral people of the Taraba region with The JESUS Film, the Faith Comes By Hearing® Audio Scriptures, and Bibles in local languages. The goal is to bring those who show an interest into vibrant New Life Groups or churches. There they are taught the story of the Bible, and many join new churches, like the one in Tonti.
