HOUSTON, TEXAS, January 4, 2001: A copy of the “Jesus” video will be placed in every mailbox in Texas. The mailing to 8.4 million homes is the largest ever for the 83-minute film. “We’re not out to bug people, we’re out to make a difference,” Lee Miller, spokesman for the project, told The Dallas Morning News in response to questions about the aggressive and intrusive nature of the project. “People can either choose to look at the video or ignore it.” The project is expected to cost $21 million, and $5 million has been raised from 400 churches. Organizers hope 4 million people will convert or return to Christianity after watching the film.
