Abundant Life through Christ

Maria José, a 16-year-old girl, comes from a home with many conflicts. In her short life she has tried to commit suicide twice. Maria lives in a neighborhood in the northern part of Quito. A Jesus Film team presented the movie for three consecutive days in a neighborhood called El Inca. They showed the film near the house of Maria and she decided to view the film every day.

Nothing really happened during the first viewing. She felt that Jesus spoke to her during the second viewing but wasn’t quite sure. But the third time, she couldn’t hold back any longer. With tears in her eyes, she came forward and asked Jesus to be Lord of her heart in front of all her friends.

Maria’s life has completely changed. Today she has a new reason to live. She has joined a newly formed group of Christians to worship God. She realizes the foolishness of taking her own life when in Jesus there is abundant life!
