Henry, a photographer for the Jesus Film Project, traveled to Honduras and Argentina to support local church outreach. In Honduras, he worked with Bishop Lloyd Allen and Episcopal clergy in San Pedro Sula, Omoa, and Puerto Cortés to train over 50 leaders in evangelism using the Jesus Film Project app and Cru materials. The team conducted community conversations and screened the film Magdalena. Later, in Northern Argentina near Tartagal, Henry partnered with the Anglican church to reach the Wichi people. During a stop in the region, he shared the app with a local man named Marcos. The trips helped Henry overcome personal doubts about denominational differences and strengthened his view of Christian partnership.

The Jesus Film Project is conducting mass evangelism in South Sudan by screening the JESUS film in local languages for refugees in camps. Tafari and local believers show the film weekly or daily to thousands, including displaced individuals like Samir, who became a church leader after hearing the message. The organization states that this method is vital because many remote communities lack internet access, Bibles in their native tongues, or nearby churches. This approach allows people to hear the gospel in their heart language, addressing a significant gap in religious outreach for displaced populations in the region.
The Jesus Film Project collaborates with Renew Outreach to deliver the JESUS film to isolated regions lacking electricity and internet. In 1998, missionary David Palusky developed a solar-powered backpack projector for the Urarina tribe in Peru, creating a portable solution for areas without infrastructure. Today, Renew expands this mission using devices like the LightStream, which functions as an offline Wi-Fi hotspot. In Zimbabwe, this technology distributed agricultural training from Foundations for Farming alongside gospel resources to farmers affected by drought. The partnership enables the distribution of digital content to hard-to-reach populations globally, overcoming geographical and technological barriers to share the message of Jesus.
