JESUS: a Deaf Missions film will take you on a journey with Jesus and his disciples. Witness His miracles, His transformative power, and His challenges to the religious elite in a time of high tension under Roman rule in Judea.

“Jesus” was made with a specific mission in mind, but the end result goes far beyond preaching to a deaf choir. Not a single word is spoken but this is a production that has plenty to say to those with or without hearing.

In the film, there was no spoken dialogue—only American Sign Language was used, with subtitles provided. The visual and sound effects were well executed, and the lead actor did an excellent job portraying Jesus. It's a must-see!

The sound and music was helpful to make the movie inclusive for everyone. It was a really good and insightful movie, highlighting different aspects of the gospels that I haven’t considered. It showed that the Messiah, the one who everyone was waiting for, had come, but not everyone recognized him for who he was.
