Lumo project1/24/2024 I then wondered about which translation of the Bible I should use – I wanted everyone to be able to use the version they knew and loved.” I could only find films for children depicting a very white, blue-eyed Jesus, which seemed educationally inaccurate and didn’t help my children relate to Jesus. “I first started to think about filming the Gospels when my church installed a screen and I wanted to be able to show the Bible footage to my Sunday School members: children who were from very diverse ethnic backgrounds. LUMO’s producer, Hannah Leader, who has worked on Gosford Park and Edge of Love, is a Sunday School teacher as well as feature-film professional and this is what she had to say about the films’ development and translation partnership with FCBH… As part of the Vision 2033 goals, FCBH has committed to creating at least one Gospel Film in every recorded language, so that people everywhere will have the opportunity to hear and see the Gospel. Since using video together with audio is a natural progression, Gospel Films will be able to provide video-centric urban areas and younger generations a way to engage the Bible like never before. FCBH hopes to implement Gospel Films in communities worldwide, starting “watching groups” around the Gospel Film in that community’s language. Her response: “This is God’s moment!” While this has not been a simple process – each Gospel Film must be manually produced by a team of editors to flow correctly with the respective language recording – it is well worth the effort!īy combining LUMO’s compelling cinematic portrayal of the life of Jesus with FCBH’s word-for-word audio Scriptures in the languages of the world, Gospel Films are revolutionizing the way we experience the Bible. After one of the films had been dubbed into several languages, a test-run was conducted in Cuba, then they sent its producer, Hannah Leader, a report of the impact that Gospel Films were having there. In August of that same year, LUMO graciously gave FCBH the right to use their films, so they could carefully overlay them with existing audio-Bible recordings. It wasn’t long before the massive benefit of a partnership became clear-FCBH and LUMO were parallel ministries working on two sides of the same tapestry! God, the Master Weaver, had put them together in His perfect timing. In April 2017, FCBH was introduced to Tessie DeVore, president of LUMO-a ministry that has produced beautiful, historically accurate films of the Gospels. He wrote it down and stored a copy of it on his computer. Over 30 years ago, Faith Comes By Hearing (FCBH) president Jerry Jackson received a word from God that the ministry would someday become involved with video production. With specially constructed sets and the extraordinarily authentic villages and countryside of rural Morocco, it immerses the viewer in the world of 1st-century Palestine, breaking the stereotypical tradition of a Westernized Jesus and His life story by presenting the story as it really happened 2000 years ago. Narrated by leading British actor David Harewood (‘Homeland’, ‘Blood Diamond’, ‘Merchant of Venice’), it is based on the latest theological, historical, and archaeological research. Five years in the making, this epic production has been critically acclaimed by leading religious scholars as a unique and highly authentic telling of the Jesus story. This full-length feature film about the life of Jesus takes the actual four individual Gospel texts as its script, word for word, unedited. It presents four films – one for each Gospel account – where we can experience the story of Jesus and the world of 1st-century Palestine in which He lived. The Lumo Project is a multi-language biblical film resource engaging us with the life of Jesus through the four New Testament Gospels.
