Audiences Embrace the Story of Jesus in Stunning 2D Animation

SPARTA, Wis., Sept. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — LIGHT OF THE WORLD, the first theatrical release from The Salvation Poem Project, opened nationwide this weekend to resounding audience acclaim, earning an “A” Cinema Score. The rating reflects the overwhelming enthusiasm from moviegoers for the family-friendly animated retelling of the life of Jesus through the eyes of the Apostle John.

Families are not only showing up but leaving the theater moved, inspired, and eager to share the experience.

Directed by John Schafer and Disney veteran Tom Bancroft (The Lion King, Mulan), LIGHT OF THE WORLD premiered in over 2,000 theaters across the country—an unprecedented launch for a non-profit studio’s debut film.

BERLIN, Sept. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — At IFA Berlin, BLUETTI, a leading provider of energy storage solutions, unveils three breakthroughs: the Pioneer Na, the world’s first sodium-ion portable power station; the RVSolar integrated off-grid solution; and FridgePower slim backup power. These innovations, alongside BLUETTI’s robust lineups, advance the company’s dedication to a sustainable future.
