The Objective
As a non-profit ministry our objective is clear and singular: National and Global Outreach...A Harvest of Souls!
"And this Gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations" (Matthew 24:14).
"The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the power of God unto salvation" (Romans 1:16). Based on the awe-inspiring and immutable truth of that Scripture, what greater or more effective tool can there possibly be to reach people for Jesus than the "Tool" which He Himself designed, "wrote," and gave us in His life, death, and resurrection—The Good News, The Gospel! Glory to the Name of Jesus!
At the same time none can argue with the power and impact of film presentation. Couple the two together—The Gospel of Jesus and the film medium—and you've got something with a potential to touch lives in this nation and across the world both in quality and quantity that is simply off the scale.
To this outreach aim John will be filmed word for word with not one word added or deleted from the exact Gospel text in the film's voice-over narration and spoken dialogue, with specific focus on:
-
The reality of Jesus—His joy, compassion, power, gentleness, care... will be brought to life in the fullest possible revealing of His Person and heart.
-
The message of salvation through the blood of Jesus will be clearly revealed.
-
The deity of Jesus will be unabashedly declared in scene after scene, as John's Gospel so emphasizes.
To this outreach aim, John will be funded, produced, and distributed
-
As a non-profit ministry
-
Made available to all regardless of financial means
-
Dubbed into the languages of the world
-
Placed in the hands of churches, ministries, missionaries...
-
Distributed publicly through theatrical release, DVD, Internet, TV...
-
Made available for teaching, local church events, concert venues...
Marchiano Ministries is not a commercial entity, but a non-profit outreach ministry. We believe this is God's plan for producing and distributing John so that this ministry/outreach focus may be pursued with single-minded intent.
In short, John will be produced "for the body of Christ and for the world," singularly for the purpose: That we may know Jesus and know Him more, and that those who have yet to discover Him, will discover Him in salvation.
"Therefore go, make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to do everything I have commanded you. And surely, I am with you always, unto the very end of the age" (Matthew 28:19, 20).
