Muslims Coming To Christ By Way Of Dreams: 2 Amazing Testimonies

One simply can’t capture in a few words the impact of Paul’s life. As he told the stories of what God was doing around the world, he painted a picture of God's heart that invited and motivated hundreds of thousands of believers to help fulfill the Great Commission.&nbsp;And it was his heart for everyone to know Jesus Christ that drove him. Paul's great faith in a compassionate, reconciling, culture-penetrating God compelled Him to surmount innumerable hurdles so the world could hear the story of Jesus.&nbsp;&nbsp;Paul started serving with Cru® and its ministries in 1966. In 1979, he began 26 years as the first executive director for Jesus Film Project®. He is also known for spearheading EXPLO 72, directing the Finishing the Task movement and serving for years as the vice president for Coverage at Cru. He truly was a good and faithful servant.&nbsp;As you consider Paul and his life in the coming days, please pray for his wife Rena, his children Jon and Jennifer, and their families. - Josh Newell, Executive Director, Jesus Film Project<a href="https://www.cru.org/us/en/about/cru-press/news/jesus-film/jesus-film-paul-eshleman-death.html">From Cru</a>:Paul Eshleman, best known for leading JESUS to become the most-translated film of all time, passed away the evening of Wednesday, May 24, in Southern California.&nbsp;He was 80 years old.&nbsp;Eshleman’s life was driven by the desire for everyone—everywhere—to hear the message of Christ. A graduate of Michigan State University with a master’s in business administration, marketing and finance, Eshleman was determined to use his education to advance the Gospel. In 1966, he became a staff member of Cru, known then as Campus Crusade for Christ.In his early years at the organization, Eshleman directed EXPLO 72 in Dallas, Texas—an event that drew approximately 80,000 attendees from across America for training in sharing their faith in Jesus Christ.&nbsp;&nbsp;A few years later, he directed the I Found It! campaign, which shared the Christian message with more than 200 American cities. An estimated 85% of all Americans were aware of the unique campaign and its message of spiritual hope.But for Eshleman, these early successes were not enough. At that time, there were about 5,500 languages spoken on Earth and billions of people who had never been exposed to the Bible.&nbsp;Eshleman stepped up to lead production of JESUS, a feature-length film based on the Gospel of Luke to convey the life of Jesus. After a nationwide debut in theaters, Dr. Bill Bright, founder of Cru, charged Eshleman with a goal to translate and dub JESUS into 163 languages. Today, the film is available in more than 2,000 language translations.For many years Eshleman also served as vice president of coverage for Cru. He spent the last two decades providing strategy and counsel for ministries of Cru involved in mass evangelism, often coordinating partnerships between Cru and other Christian organizations. He also continued to inspire and encourage fellow Cru staff to “see who hasn’t gotten the (Gospel) message yet and get the message to them.”“Paul was a champion for the cause of Christ and challenged the Church to consider innovative ways to evangelize,” says Steve Sellers, current Cru president.In addition, Eshleman gave direction to the Finishing the Task Movement, with the goal of synthesizing data toward tracking and engaging the unengaged and unreached people groups of the world. He also chaired the Strategy Working Group for the Lausanne Committee for World Evangelization.&nbsp;He authored several books, including The Explo Story: A Plan to Change the World (1972), The Touch of Jesus (2002) and I Just Saw Jesus: The JESUS Film (2016). Eshleman is survived by his wife, Rena, two grown children and six grandchildren.&nbsp;

Nashville Pastor Offers First Sermon After Daughter Lost In School Shooting

Biola University will name its top-ranked film school the Snyder School of Cinema &amp; Media Arts in tribute to Esther L. Snyder, co-founder of In-N-Out Burger. The unanimous decision by the Biola Board of Trustees was made to honor the Snyder family for a significant financial gift committed to the school as well as their legacy of godly virtues. "Our family values the distinctly Christian education Biola University offers and are honored to play a part in continuing to offer students opportunities to make really impactful film pieces that change people's lives," said Lynsi Snyder-Ellingson, granddaughter of Esther L. Snyder and current owner and president of In-N-Out Burger. "God is a huge part of the In-N-Out story, and I have no doubt my grandmother would be grateful to know her name is associated with a school recognized for excellence in craft and character." Esther L. Snyder adored students at universities like Biola and she made a way for countless men and women to receive a faith-based education. She was committed to the Scriptures and wanted the love of God to spread through her life and company.&nbsp;<blockquote>Thousands of In-N-Out Burger customers each day are reminded of these priorities each time they read the Bible verses printed on company cups, bags and fry boats. On these paper products diners are directed to verses such as John 3:16, Proverbs 3:5, Revelation 3:20 and Nahum 1:7.</blockquote>An appreciation for entertainment and a creative spirit run deep with the Snyder family. Esther L. Snyder's eldest son Guy embodied a love for music. Her son Rich often edited home videos and founded In-N-Out Burger's own Burger TV, which is used to communicate with its associates to this day. Lynsi Snyder-Ellingson has a love for both music and filmmaking. She believes lives can be deeply impacted through the arts and continues the tradition of using music and film throughout In-N-Out Burger. "I have been inspired through my conversations with Lynsi Snyder-Ellingson, hearing stories of her family and particularly her beloved grandmother," said Biola President Dr. Barry H. Corey. "This naming of the Snyder School and the inspirational vision of Mrs. Esther Snyder will be a testimony to students and alumni for generations that humility in leadership, Christlike love of others, entrepreneurial tenacity and upright business principles are virtues worth living. Biola University is today honored to extend the legacy of Esther L. Snyder's life and work, along with the entire Snyder family, through the naming of the Snyder School of Cinema &amp; Media Arts." The gift, which is the largest in the school's 115-year history, will be allocated toward the construction of a 52,100 square-foot studio facility for the film school and will be used to establish a new scholarship — the In-N-Out Burger Scholars Fund. This expendable scholarship will help make it possible for foster and at-risk youth to study in the Snyder School.&nbsp; This donation will provide an opportunity for more students to study cinema and media arts at Biola where craft and character matter.&nbsp; "As Biola's fastest growing school, this incredible gift will dramatically improve our School of Cinema &amp; Media Arts' already strong academic program for students, as well as help accommodate our significant enrollment growth," said Founding Dean and industry veteran Tom Halleen. "We talk a lot about being more than just a film school. We're not only committed to equipping students with the professional skills required by the industry, but we also prioritize excellence in character. We want our students to be great at what they do, but also great in who they are as we prepare them to tell their stories across all the screens we use in everyday life: the movie screen, TV screen, computer screen, and their device's screen." The $92 million state-of-the-art studio will add to Biola's existing production facilities, including a third soundstage along with additional edit suites, production offices, motion capture, Foley and scoring stages, mixing rooms, color correction lab, classrooms, faculty and staff offices and a full theater for screenings as well as to host industry lectures, forums and other live events. The facility is designed to house all aspects of the production process from ideation through final presentation. Biola's School of Cinema &amp; Media Arts started as a school in 2018, though as a program it dates back for decades. It has been ranked as one of the top film schools in the nation by multiple industry-leading sources, including for the past six years by Variety, and also by The Wrap and MovieMaker Magazine. Biola plans to break ground and begin construction on the two-plus year building project in October 2023, aligning with In-N-Out's 75th anniversary, which will be celebrated with a festival at the In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip on October 22.
