JESUS Film for the Dirasha People
Get Involved
Your gift will help provide the JESUS film for Dirasha people, allowing them to better understand the depth of God's love.
Give NowMooha.
He’s woven through nearly 90 years of Dirasha history: introduced by Orthodox Christians in 1920, proclaimed by evangelical missionaries since the 1950s.
Yet many Dirasha have yet to encounter Him—and His Word—in a way that speaks to their hearts.
The growing language group, now more than 90,000, lives along remote, shrub-cloaked mountainsides in southwest Ethiopia. Today, the church is dedicated to reaching its own people, and is currently translating the New Testament.
Yet a completed draft will take years; even then, God’s Word will be reserved for the small percentage of literate Dirasha.
By partnering with JAARS, you can help provide the JESUS film—a feature-length movie based on the Gospel of Luke. This project will provide:
- Recording and projection equipment.
- Production and duplication costs.
- Training, promotion and follow-up.
As a result, thousands can watch the piercing account of Mooha’s Son—finally understanding the depth of His love.
