What exactly is
“The ends of the earth?”
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8
Many people who come to freedom in Christ, end up going back to where they came from to share the Good News. After all, who knows the culture best than those who have come from it?
Meet Stewart (in the short video below), the first virtual reality missionary with Jesus Film. Stewart shares how he came out of the dark worlds of virtual reality to then be called back to those he knows best.

God is not limited in how He uses people in unexpected places regarding the gospel. People are coming to Christ in a very real way through “VR Chat.” Stewart mentions the “tens of thousands of worlds” of virtual spaces. Who would have known that Acts 1:8 would one day include the digital world?
Personal & Ministry highlights
Coming into autumn, we are very thankful for all we accomplished this past spring and summer. Some personal highlights are a first-ever trip to the Pacific Northwest and going on a family cruise with Jules’ side of the family. Jules turned 60, and I got to add a number to my 60. We hosted some international guests in July, including a missionary from Pakistan and a young couple (Isaiah and Amy) from Ireland. This December, we will be hosting a missionary from East Asia!
This past May, we went with Jesus Film to Chiang Mai, Thailand. We were at a large multimedia conference for Southeast & South Asian missionaries (SESA). We also met missionaries from Africa, Australia, & Europe. Our job was interviewing as many missionaries as possible about their ministry's cultural context and media needs. For security reasons, we cannot show any photos (except one photo below) of anyone at the conference—not even the back of their heads. We returned with key cultural insights to assist Jesus Film in future media projects and direction. HERE is a link to our report if you want to see our insights about how different cultures perceive evangelism.
We look forward to sharing more media we have worked on all summer. Due to the overwhelming amount, we will only share a few. Be on the lookout!

We wish we could show you more photos of the amazing and brave filmmaker missionaries we met, but for security reasons, we could not.
