Jesus in Athens now on Amazon Prime and other services

It is a staggering concept to consider that Muslim peoples are turning to Jesus in numbers that are greater in the past 25 years than in all of the previous centuries combined. Those who work as the hands, feet and love of Jesus welcoming refugees being forced to flee their homelands have countless stories of those who have become followers of Jesus despite the odds. Movements to Christ are happening among Muslim communities especially in migrant-heavy communities like Greece.

Jesus in Athens connects viewers to those stories and to the people and places serving refugees along the Refugee Highway. Their website not only shares about the film, but has direct links to the people and ministries whose stories are being shared (Marinos, Faros, Mihalis, Hellenic Ministries, Sahar, Javid and Greek Church Plants). Get to know the stories of Persian and Afghan believers and others who found love and community from followers of Jesus.

In 2015, over a million migrants entered Europe, most of them through Greece. But on their journey, something quite unexpected has occurred. Religious conversions and revival broke out, especially amongst Muslims fleeing their war-torn countries.

So, join us as we meet the people who feed and clothe some of the most marginalized people in the world. Gather with the chosen outcasts, as they come out of darkness and into light. Witness the miraculous. See the love of Christians toward people who were told Christians would hate them. Watch churches spring into action – entertaining strangers, showing hospitality, learning to reject hatred and fear. This is the story of God, gathering people and nations to himself, in a crisis.

The film’s host and Producer is Training Leaders International’s President Darren Carlson who has spent the last seven years coming alongside new Christian leaders. (Directed by independent filmmaker Peter Hansen. Length: 1 hr 31 min, appropriate for ages 7+)
