"The Story of Jesus for Children" is a video/DVD which will give every child, both churched and unchurched, a chance to see and hear the gospel of Jesus in a way he/she can understand, in every possible language worldwide. (see our Languages page for current list). "The Story of Jesus for Children" provides a solution to the challenge of teaching children the truth about God and His Son Jesus. The video allows children to hear and see the whole story at once, answering questions in clear and concrete terms, and providing fast action. *(The dialogue of the original "JESUS" film was taken from the Gospel of Luke. It has been translated into more than 1,000 languages and has had more than 6 billion viewings worldwide since 1979, making "JESUS" the most-watched film in history.)

Jacob is a young boy with a gift for carpentry who is busy finishing up a project for a contest. His teacher, Rabbi Simeon, not only instructs him in carpentry, but also teaches him important lessons about God. Rabbi has just taught Jacob that when you give a gift to one of God's children, it's like giving a gift to God. The night before the contest while working on his project, Jacob has fallen asleep in the workshop and is awakened by a bright light. The light is a star which is directly over Jacob's father's stable. As he approaches the stable, he sees a man, a woman, and a newborn baby which is laying in the straw. Remembering what Rabbi Simeon had told him, Jacob returns to the workshop and takes his project (a feeding trough) to the new family. The morning of the contest, the Rabbi pleased to find out that Jacob has acted upon the lesson he learned and has truly given a gift to God.
