‘Jesus’ Film Has Now Been Translated into 2000 Languages, with ‘Zo’ the Newest Addition
43 years after its release, the ‘Jesus’ film has hit a significant milestone, being translated into 2000 languages, with more on the way.
Released in English in 1979, the movie is considered the most-watched film in the world. Based on the book of Luke, it depicts the events of the gospel, including Jesus’ death and resurrection, and is often used as a missionary tool to reach the lost. According to the church website.
The 2,000th language is Zo!
So what do we know about the Zo language? Well roughly 65,000 people in the world speak Zo. These speakers are from the country of Myanmar, but because of recent instability at home you can find Zo people across the world. The printed Bible in Zo isn’t widely available in Myanmar, and many Zo can’t read. . We’re praying this new translation of JESUS in Zo provides a way for the Zo to have access to the story of Jesus in a format they can understand, wherever they are.
