Jesus Film Project

The JESUS film is a two-hour retelling of the Gospel of Luke, made in 1979 and handed to this ministry to take round the world. It holds the Guinness record as the most translated film ever made: 2,311 language versions as of 2025, with the two-thousandth, in the Zo language, finished in 2022.

It is free. You can watch it or download it on jesusfilm.org or in the Jesus Film Project app, which has been running since 2012, and Polish is one of the languages, transcript included. Alongside the main film sit shorter pieces — an animated story of Jesus, Bible clips, films for children.

Jesus Film Project is a media ministry of Cru, run from the same Orlando campus, and its results are its own count rather than an outside audit: for 2025 it reports 671 million views across all media and 12.2 million people indicating a decision to follow Christ. Cru’s Polish branch, Ruch Chrześcijański Mt28 in Warsaw, is listed separately here.
