RETURN TO CAIRO
Focus: Evangelism, Discipleship
We envision Back To Cairo as the inaugural film in a series of contemporary adaptations of Jesus's parables. While many North Africans are familiar with the name of Jesus, few are well-versed in his teachings. By re-imagining these timeless parables, we aim to craft compelling narratives that resonate with modern audiences, offering both entertainment and a fresh perspective on biblical truths. We intend to distribute these films broadly through different online and TV channels, as well as being made available for missionaries on the ground, local pastors, and believers in their church-planting efforts
Initial Estimated Budget: $19,500 USD
Amount raised to date: $0 USD
Currently being discussed with an Egyptian Film company for a partnership for filming

BMB Testimony Series
Focus: Evangelism, Prayer, Encouragement
What does it mean to follow Jesus? In Greater North Africa, it almost always involves paying a significant cost. Abandonment by family, lost jobs, lost marriages, and even death threats are not uncommon. And yet, Christ continues to call North Africans unto Himself.
This project shares the personal journeys of Jesus’ followers who come from Muslim backgrounds.
Such testimonies inform and encourage the global church to pray for our brothers and sisters in North Africa. They also teach and inform about living a life of faith under fire.
But perhaps more importantly, Believers from a Muslim Background (BMBs) testimonials have a special resonance for other BMB’s who might feel isolated in their communities, as well as Muslims quietly seeking Jesus.
Our intention is to create as many of these videos as possible and upload them to a searchable website for those who are seeking the truth may find and watch.
Budget per testimonial video: $500 USD
Amount raised to date: $6000 USD
Number of Testimonies filmed to date: 12
Update: We are so grateful for the current 12 BMB testimonies that have been fully funded! We are in the process of editing, which includes the necessary translation work of the full interviews and working with our partners to ensure accuracy. We have fully completed 1 and will be able to share that link privately with those who are interested.

Prayer Works
Focus: Prayer, Mobilizing
One couple moved to a country in North Africa and for three years tried to share the Gospel with those around them, but with no response or openness. They began to pray and fast one day a week and slowly built a prayer group of expatriates. After a year of faithfully meeting together to pray and fast, the Lord connected this couple with a group of foreigners and one national woman. There, they had the opportunity to share the Gospel, and the only one who responded was the national woman, who was from an unreached people group in that nation.
Her journey of faith eventually led to a house church, the salvation of her children, and her arrest and imprisonment for her faith. Out of prison now, she and her children continue to share, and more have come to faith in her city.
Estimated Budget: $7500 USD
Amount raised to date: $0 USD

From the Desert to the Throne: Interceding for Greater North Africa
Focus: Prayer, Education
Prayer is the foundation for movements of God. There are currently over 270 million in Greater North Africa (which includes the Horn of Africa) who do not have adequate access to the Gospel. What is it going to take to see them reached? What would happen if the Global Church committed to praying for North Africa?
Estimated Budget: $TBA
Amount raised to date: $0

What does church planting look like in Greater North Africa?
Focus: Prayer, Education
How do you plant a church in a region of the world where simply sharing the Gospel is forbidden? How do you meet together as believers in places where you cannot legally start a church?
And as a Global Church Family, how can we intercede for our Greater North African Church Families if we are unaware of what their challenges are?
This short, animated film will serve as a starting place for exploring what Church planting in Greater North Africa (which includes the Horn of Africa) looks like. Pulling from the stories and experiences of church planters in Greater North Africa, the video will create a picture of some of the ways the Lord is establishing His Church throughout Greater North Africa and how we, as the Body of Christ, can pray for our brothers and sisters. By using animation, the video will protect the locations and identities of those planting churches in this sensitive region but help to create a visual understanding of what it looks like.
Estimated Budget: $8000 USD
Amount raised to date: $0 USD
UPDATE:
We are currently in the research phase and are reaching out to different animators to find the best one suited for this film. Once this has been established we will have a better understanding of the estimated cost to complete this project.
