"No one I know displays a deeper passion for [the next generation] than James Nored. With every fiber of his being, James points himself toward this upcoming generation. He understands them, connects with them, speaks their language, dives into their tech-world and uses their tools like none other. Listen to him and learn!
James Nored has immersed himself in understanding what makes them tick, what gets their attention and how the local church can impact their lives. If you want to reach Millenials near you, listen to James."

Next Generation’s Bible-based Story of Redemption (SOR) film series produced by Dr. James Nored and his family and all those that assist in creating these very professional and thought provoking films.
We think of the films as a ModernDay replacement of the very effective Jules Miller slide projection format for evangelism from the 1950’s. The SOR films and the followup discussion questions can be used in almost any setting - one on one or in large groups. We at Saturn Road have been sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ with boys and girls in Kenya.
Every Thursday and Saturday for over a year, a few of our members have been coordinating ZOOM Bible studies with “Made in the Streets” students in Nairobi and with a church related student academy in Mombasa . . . I am personally 71 years old, and even I can coordinate these effective Bible studies - with precious souls on the other side of the world ! We have now been with some of our Kenyan students for so long that they eventually advance in their school curriculum studies. We miss them and pray that what little encouragement and knowledge that we shared will stay with them the rest of their adult lives - until we meet again in Heaven.

Paul Reiman, Elder, Fairfax Church of Christ, Fairfax, VA
"The Story of Redemption study series provides an easy and enjoyable way to share the message of Jesus with others. Each lesson in the series focuses on a specific story in the Bible and includes a professionally created video and printed material. The videos were filmed in different places around the world, with moving narration that helps the listener understand God's love for each person. And the printed material includes the actual story, quoted directly from the Bible, and thoughtful questions which promote discussion between all people -- believers, non-believers, young and old.
The SOR series is an excellent tool for sharing the story of God's love for man and His plan to reconcile each person to Himself through faith in Jesus."

Mark Bryson, Minister of Missions & Members, McDermott Road Church of Christ
"Of all our ministries with which we serve the Lord, we are greatly pleased to have found and used the Story of Redemption Films. (Next Gen team member) Joel Petty has done two seminars with us to show the value of their use in developing faith, particularly with our parents of teens. In addition, every Wednesday night we use the videos and discussion guides to teach Chinese speakers using the Chinese subtitle series. Our Spanish speakers in the Rio Grande valley are using the Spanish version in about 20 congregations, and our missionary in Estonia uses the Russian version."

Jon Reed, Senior Minister, Hilltop Church of Christ, El Segundo, CA
"James Nored came and spent the whole day with us, talking about evangelism and outreach. And one of the things that James is doing that we really like is The Story of Redemption. I grew up with something in our brotherhood called the Jule Miller film strips. In their time they were fantastic and very effective, but they really don't apply as much anymore.
And so what James has done, if you've seen his videos, is he makes it very real, very authentic, and very accepting for people who don't have a Christian background, who maybe haven't been in church in a long time, and he uses narrative as a way of engaging people, the narrative, the story of Jesus Christ."

Joey Derr, Deacon for Spanish Ministry, Chisholm Hills Church of Christ, Florence, AL
"We were really excited to be part of the process of getting this in to Spanish for the first time. It was great and my wife loves translation, and she was really proud to be a part of this process along with our Hispanic minister, Jesus. We just had a seminar here in Lima at one of the congregations and there was great participation. Seven different congregations were represented and we had over 100 in attendance. Everybody really liked the material.
The church leaders here were really excited about the Story of Redemption program because they felt like it was something that they could use to equip their members to be more evangelistic. And also, I think the young people really were excited about the video approach that they could use to share quickly and easily with their friends on their phones and using other media and technology.
I really see a great way in which the materials can be used for those that want to practice English. We're excited because we now want to take this back to our Hispanic congregation . . . . We highly recommend this program, especially for an evangelistic approach."
