S3E1 JESUS for Zomi Refugees in Tulsa

Hosts Joe and Lara Mellema interview Dale McFerron who tells the story of how more than two million people in the language group Zomi, from Myanmar, now have the film JESUS in their heart language as 5,000 from this people group have migrated to Tulsa, OK for religious freedom. When the language version premiered in Tulsa more than 3,000 Zomi came to the premiere, welcomed by members of the Christian Motorcyclist Association clad in leather. Like so many, there were some Zomi people who were not initially interested in hearing about Jesus, but were interested in seeing a movie in their heart language, so they came and experienced Jesus through the film. Dale says it best, “You have an instant friend in Jesus when He speaks your language.”
