An encounter happens
A person meets the story and person of Jesus through film, media, conversation or outreach.
Gospel Encounter Movement
The encounter isn’t the endpoint.
GEM helps someone move toward a meaningful next step—and creates movement from media encounters toward trusted relationships.
GEM partnership is currently by invitation while we are in beta.
A movement, not a moment
From watching to wondering. From wondering to responding. From responding to relationship.
How GEM works
A clear path from Gospel media to people who care.
GEM brings journeys, routing and partner teams together. The pathway adapts at the moment of need instead of being hardcoded to one responder.
A journey opens
A mobile, multilingual GEM Journey offers clear choices instead of leaving someone at the end of the media.
GEM routes in the moment
Country, language, availability and capacity help identify the right approved team when a person asks to connect.
A relationship begins
With consent, a real person continues the conversation through the most appropriate available channel.
The GEM system
One connected movement, three distinct parts.
GEM Journey
The multilingual, mobile experience a person opens from a link or QR code. It offers the next useful choice without requiring an account.
GEM Routing Network
The dynamic layer that selects an approved partner using criteria such as country, language, topic, hours and capacity.
GEM Connection
A seeker-consented handoff to a real person through WhatsApp, email, phone, web chat, TMM or another supported channel.
Why dynamic routing matters
The journey stays reusable. The right connection can change.
A printed QR code or shared link does not need to name one team forever. GEM can consider what is known at the time of a request and connect the person to an appropriate available partner.
Language and country fit
Team hours and weekly capacity
Topic and contact-method support
Clear records of where each request went
One doorway. Many meaningful next steps.
Journeys can pass campaign context forward, while GEM routing keeps the human destination flexible and accountable.
Who is behind this
Jesus Film Project
For decades, Jesus Film Project has helped people encounter Jesus through film in the languages they understand. GEM helps those encounters lead somewhere: toward a question answered, a next step chosen, and a trusted person to talk with.
AI can help prepare and translate a journey. It never replaces the believer on the other end of a GEM Connection.
Visit jesusfilm.orgOur core promise
“Helping every Gospel encounter lead to a meaningful next step.”
We protect privacy, ask for consent before human follow-up, and measure the pathway without putting private questions or prayer requests into reporting.
