2,276 Languages, More Than 14 Million Conversions: Inside the Global Mission of the Jesus Film Project

On this episode of the podcast, Amanda explores the global mission to expand the Kingdom of God through one of the most ambitious evangelism efforts in modern history. Head is joined by Alan, Director of Language Studios for the Jesus Film Project, who shares how the ministry worked to translate the Gospel into 2,276 languages — bringing the story of Jesus to people in their own native tongue. In 2024 alone, the film reached an astonishing 730 million viewers and led to 14 million reported conversions worldwide.

Alan takes listeners behind the scenes of this massive undertaking, explaining how translations are often recorded in makeshift studios using local voices and resources. He highlights the critical role of community involvement, the importance of cultural accuracy, and the unique challenges of maintaining unity and safety in regions where spreading the Gospel can come at a cost.

This episode is a powerful look at faith in action on a global scale—and a reminder of how technology, storytelling, and mission-driven work are coming together to reach the unreached. The Jesus Film Project relies on the support of donors to continue this work, providing equipment, training, and resources to communities around the world.
