Amy and Joel are part of a team developing new and creative ways to use media tools along with the JESUS film to stimulate spiritual movements everywhere. They work at the JESUS Film Project headquarters in Orlando, Florida where the Master Studio is located.
The JESUS Film Project distributes the film JESUS, a two-hour docudrama about the life of Christ based on the Gospel of Luke. The goal of The JESUS Film Project is to help share Jesus with everyone in his or her own heart language using media tools and movement building strategies.
The film has been seen in every country of the world and translated into over 1,800 languages since its initial release in 1979. Our goal is to reach every nation, tribe, people and tongue, helping them see and hear the story of Jesus in a language they can understand. So whether a person speaks Swahili, French, or a language whose name is extremely difficult for most to pronounce, he or she will encounter the life and message of Jesus in a language “of the heart.”
Many mission experts have acclaimed the JESUS film as one of the greatest evangelistic success stories of all time. The ultimate success of this project won’t be measured by how many people have already seen it, but by how many will follow Him after seeing this film. So far, more than 200 million people have indicated decisions to accept Christ as their personal Savior and Lord as a result of seeing JESUS.

Cosby School Food Pantry
Due to the recent pandemic and the sharp increase in food prices, many students do not have an adequate food supply at home. The school provides two meals and some snacks while school is in session. But many local children lack these meals during times school is out including weekends, holidays and school breaks such as Sprint break.
To help meet the need for food, the school provides take home meals to any student who desires food during times school is out free of charge.
LSCC is working with the school, Second Harvest Food Bank, and other agencies to provide single serve and precooked food items such as oatmeal, cereal, cheese sticks, peanut butter crackers, and similar items for this mission
Any food provided by the community can be brought by the church building and we’ll see that it gets delivered to the school.

The International Disaster Emergency Service, IDES, began in 1973 by Milton Bates who was led by the Holy Spirit to organize the Christian Church/Church of Christ congregations to meet the physical needs of people who had experienced some type of disaster situation. One individual, or even one congregation, could not always make a significant contribution. But if the churches pooled resources, we should be able to offer a sizeable gift that would really make a difference and strengthen the witness of Christians trying to work in these depressed areas.
The fascinating story and history of IDES can be found on the website, www.ides.org/history
From those humble beginnings, now many receive a gift that “makes a difference and strengthens the witness of Christians.” Wells are dug to give the missionary opportunity to teach about the Living Water. Food is given to open hearts to the Bread of Life. Lives are changed as blankets and medicines are given in the name of Jesus. Houses are built to provide shelter for families, and they experience the warmth of being part of the family of God. God’s love is demonstrated not just with words, but with deeds and in truth. Ephesians 3:20, 21 say, “Now glory be to God! By His mighty power at work within us, He is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope. May He be given glory in the church and in Christ Jesus forever and ever through endless ages. Amen!”

Histportic Global 
This work is located in a former Portuguese enclave in Asia. The religious makeup of this region is assorted, including historical roots in Catholicism.
Hisportic Christian Mission launched this work in the beginning of 2020. Our first months were touch-and-go with lockdowns and food shortages, but God helped us navigate past the barriers and into fruitful outreach.
Today we are holding Home Prayer Meetings, meetings on Sunday at two sites, distributing food to hungry families, drafting plans to help children with their education, and establishing a recycling plant that will give local families the opportunity to work and to worship.
As we reach out to our community, our community reaches out to us. We are often invited into homes to pray for families and share stories of God and His love. This Asian country uses many languages. Sometimes even next door neighbors cannot communicate with one another due to language barriers. We formed a network of believers who know multiple languages and use them as translators for these home meetings. At times, the prayer requests are intense. We are often asked to pray for healing and deliverance, and God shows up in His power and grace.
Currently we hold Sunday gatherings outdoors at two recycling centers. Our goal is to find one centralize building that will accommodate both groups and be used exclusively for that purpose. As we continue to develop the recycling ministry/business, we aim to use it as a means to reach new families and generate new groups.

As you can see, LSCC is very involved in spreading the Word of God, supporting both traditional local missions and contemporary (the Jesus Film Project) methods. We believe that “faith comes from hearing and hearing from the Word of God” (Romans 10: 17). It is our wish to see that the Word is available to all people groups.
Besides ‘spreading the Word’ we also encourage the ‘walk’ of the ministry of Christ through our support of World Mission Builders. WMB focuses on meeting the physical need of our Brothers for church buildings and schools.
These are certainly not the only missions supported by LSCC and its members. Besides these, others receive financial, material, or physical support as God makes it available to us. As a group of Believers, we at LSCC are following Jesus’ commandment to be a witness to Him, provide for the needs of other Christians and to provide for the needy.
