Trailer - Encounter
Encounter is a transformative series that explores the powerful moments when people come face to face with God. Through biblical stories and modern-day testimonies, this series reveals how encounters with Jesus change lives, bringing healing, hope, and transformation. Host Karl Faase brings stories from Africa, UK, North America and Australia, revealing how Jesus comes to those on the margins of society, those seeking truth, and those desperate for grace. With insightful commentary from theologians like Lynn Cohick and Michael Bird, along with personal reflections from guests such as Pete Greig, Sheridan Voysey and Justin Brierley, Encounter invites you to reflect on how these timeless truths resonate today and consider how you too might experience an encounter with God.

Start the Year Ready to Help Your Community Encounter Jesus
In the lead-up to Easter 2026, Olive Tree Media and Crossover are partnering to equip churches with resources they can use to introduce people to Jesus and share stories of transformation!
This 9-week, 10-session, video series shares stories of people who met Jesus, then and now, inviting your whole church community to experience Him in a fresh way.
The series is adaptable for your church setting. You can choose to do either the full 10 sessions leading into Easter or a reduced version of 6-weeks.
Preach on each of the gospel encounters, and let small groups watch the episodes in the following week. Or share access to the congregation for individual viewing. Smaller churches may choose to watch the episodes in the worship gathering and discuss.
