In June, Power to Change went on the road to tell four major cities about the new animated JESUS film being created and set to release in 2026.
Among the locations were Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth where approximately 500 leaders from major Christian organisations, denominations, local pastors and more attended to hear about the exciting endeavour to provide the gospel story to a new generation in Australia and across the globe!
Global Marketing Director, Geoff Peters and Executive Producer, Gabe Handy, from the US joined Power to Change for the Roadshow, helping to envision leaders across the country about the biblical research involved and the potential to create a spiritual awakening for Aussie families.

One Indigenous Australian pastor who attended said,
“I loved it! I’ll be doing outreach in Alice Springs and other remote communities that need to see this film.”
Churches, schools, and families will find this state-of-the-art animation and storyline more than a film but an effective tool for sharing the love of Christ in today’s culture.
JESUS Film Project is best known for its original live-action film on the life of Jesus created in 1979. That film is listed in the Guinness World Book of Records as the most translated film in history (now in 2,100 languages and counting).
The re-imagined animated film will be released in cinemas worldwide in late 2026, in 100 languages, with immersive virtual and augmented reality products to follow shortly after. Attendees of the event were able to experience the VR concept and went home with a bag of the movie’s paraphernalia and other Power to Change resources for churches and individuals passionate about reaching this generation for Christ.
When attendees were asked if uni students would go see it in cinemas, a campus pastor responded,
“I loved stepping into the virtual reality booth. I can see us using the VR element a lot on campuses. I think students are interested in who Jesus is. I’ll be inviting some students [of another faith] to see the movie with me.”
