MORE FROM THE PROJECT’S CREATORS:
- Bible Media Group President Tessie DeVore told The Christian Post that the concept for the Lumo Project started as an idea by creator and producer Hannah Leader who had the idea to produce Scripture-based movies in an effort to bring the Scriptures to life. “The Lumo Project is such a good tool to allow people to do biblical ministry to promote Bible literacy,” DeVore said.
- “There are so many good projects out there,” DeVore went on to say. “It’s not about which one is better. If anything, they complement each other and are both different ways to engage with the Bible. Lumo is good for discipleship and the Bible aspect. But, they both have a good place in this process of enhancing Biblical literacy.”
- “You won’t sit and read all four Gospels at once. You will do it little by little and study it. With Lumo, it works well because you can watch in chapters and sections. And you can use Lumo in your reading, discipleship and for your personal relationship growth with the Lord,” DeVore added.
BACKGROUND:
- The Lumo Project is still working on reaching more audiences and translating the movie into more languages.
- In April of this year the plans to release an Old Testament narrative film titled “The Covenant,” which will focus on the Dead Sea Scrolls by bringing to life the stories of Old Testament figures Abraham, Joseph, and Moses.
