The German Film Series
Responding to God’s leading, we filmed five German testimonies and created an interactive Prayer Guide to serve the people of Germany. The German films are meant to encourage Christians and engage non-Christians within the nation, and our Prayer Guide is designed to inspire worldwide prayers for Germany, where 97% of the residents don’t know Jesus.
