Jesus Loves You
In the summer of 2006, more than 10,000 Christian fundamentalists from all over the world travelled to the World Cup in Germany - not to enjoy soccer, but to bring the Christian faith back to Europe.
By focusing on the actions of four of the missionaries from the United States, Kenya and Germany, "Jesus Loves You" reveals the gripping stories at the frontlines of the modern fundamentalist evangelical movement, which is turning into a worldwide battle between religious fundamentalism and conflicting worldviews.

Is Europe going to Hell?
Evangelikale Gruppierungen aus den USA sind weltweit auf dem Vormarsch. Diese "wiedergeborenen" Christen stehen für konservative Überzeugungen wie die Ablehnung von Abtreibungen und die Forderung nach vorehelicher Enthaltsamkeit. Außerdem glauben sie an die baldige Wiederkehr Jesu und die bevorstehende Entscheidungsschlacht von Armageddon. In der Dynamik der politischen Ereignisse seit den Anschlägen des 11. September erkennen sie die Zeichen ihrer Verheißung. Ausgehend von den USA tragen ihre Missionare die wörtlich verstandene Botschaft der Bibel in die entlegensten Gegenden der Erde. Zunehmend auch nach Mitteleuropa.
