Introducing Christians Sharing Christ (CSC)

In the fall of 1969, a group of businessmen founded CSC in response to a burden from God to tell people about Jesus Christ. They rented a small dirt parking lot in the middle of the downtown marketplace in San Jose, Costa Rica. Evangelistic meetings were held during the day and followed by film presentations at night. People coming to the market from all over Costa Rica and surrounding countries had the opportunity to hear and see God’s plan of Salvation presented. Many men, women, boys and girls accepted Christ as their personal Savior and returned to their homes burdened to tell those around them about what Jesus Christ had done for them. As a result, God has allowed CSC’s work to expand into 12 other countries with over 150 missionaries and volunteers. Whether in large cities, small towns or primitive villages along the Amazon River, God is continuing to use CSC to reap a harvest of souls.

Our Mission Statement

To present the message of salvation using films, to the largest number of people in the shortest length of time.

Our Mission Strategy

Christians Sharing Christ Film Ministries is an evangelistic organization presenting the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the masses through film evangelism, preaching, church planting and the distribution of God’s Word and tracts. We accomplish this by providing a channel through which local churches and individuals can be personally involved in the sending out and support of soul-winning, spirit-filled missionaries. In so doing, a vital relationship is established and maintained between the missionaries and the supporters. Gospel films, such as the "Jesus" film, "The Burning Hell" and "No Greater Love", "Passion of the Christ" and "Escape from Hell" reach over 1,000,000 people each year. Recent statistics show on any given day, almost 3,000 people watch one of our films and more than 300 decide to receive Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. Each person that makes a profession of faith is given a Gospel of John or New Testament and tract and names are gathered for follow-up visitations by the local church.
