‘Light of the World’ movie Premiere
By Tom Victor
September 5th marked the U.S. and Canada Premiere of the new movie - Light of the World.
It is a beautifully hand-drawn animated film that follows Jesus’ life through the eyes of young John, powerfully sharing the Gospel message of love, hope, and salvation with children and families worldwide.
It is scheduled for release in 30 more nations before the end of 2025. The film will be translated into 500+ languages.
The film’s makers' vision is for the movie to nurture new and existing believers through free Gospel discipleship materials. A Gospel invitation and QR code are displayed on screen at the end of the film to encourage people to respond.
The IPC and 2BC families have been praying for the success of this remarkable film and for many children and adults across the world to be reached with its Gospel message.
Who is behind Light of the World?
The Salvation Poem Project has created Light of the World. Perhaps you’ve heard of them as the Salvation Poem is at the end of every Superbook episode and is available in almost 100 languages.
2BC and Shine!
‘Rise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.’ (Isaiah 60:1)
On Tuesday, August 19, children from 20 nations took turns leading our first 24 hours of “on-line” prayer in our 2BC Prayer Room. Many others joined them “off-line” as well. They were part of the newly established Shine Project.
The vision of Shine! is to be praying for children (and adults) to know Jesus, boldly share His love, and for the Light of the World movie to impact families and nations with the Gospel. Watch the Trailer!
The first Shine 24 hour event was so successful that due to popular demand, we are holding a second one! -

Why is our 2BC Family partnering with this movie?
2BC has three core values. 1) Children Hearing the Voice of their Heavenly Father; 2) Children Knowing their Identity in Christ; 3) Children Empowered by God’s Spirit to Share His Love with Others. Light of the World is a powerful resource to help children – both the little ones and the older ones - become 2BC Champions as they discover their identity and share the message of God’s love with others in their neighborhood and around the world.
The Shine Project has created several free resources to help children Shine! as 2BC Champions in support of this movie, including a Prayer Guide, B.L.E.S.S. Cards, God’s Favorite and Shine Songs. There are some exclusive Light of the World resources launching this week too! You can find them all at: https://www.2bc.world/shine/
