Faith Comes By Hearing (FCBH) was at EMDC and presented on a new partnership that they have with the LUMO Project. Gospel Films are a ground-breaking, multi-language biblical resource that will transform the way people around the world discover, study, and engage with God’s Word.
For the first time, the complete unabridged text of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John have been faithfully brought to life in visual form by the LUMO Project. FCBH is combining this compelling cinematic portrayal of the life of Jesus with their word-for-word audio Scriptures in the languages of the world.
Using the complete recorded audio Scripture greatly simplifies the process compared to the JESUS Film. The latter requires a lot of work to create a script based on the Gospel of Luke and lip-synch the recorded dialog (which often requires re-recording) so that it matches with the video. This is very time consuming and requires expensive audio/video editing software and experienced people. There are adjustments that have to be made due to the length of the audio for a section. The LUMO Project accounted for this and have different lengths of scenes to be able to accommodate.
Both the LUMO Project and FCBH are freely sharing these videos* and allowing them to be distributed in many forms. They can also be embedded in or streamed to Scripture apps created using Scripture App Builder. It is exciting to see how these videos will impact the spread of the Gospel in many language communities where this might be the very first film available in their language. Try out the Gospel Films in the New International Version (1984).
*There are certain limitations on the distribution of some majority language versions in some regions. However, there are virtually no restrictions for minority language versions.
