Originally released in 70 cinemas across Nigeria and Ghana, Light of the World tells the story of Jesus Christ through the eyes of His beloved friend, the Apostle John. Set in 30 AD, the film beautifully captures the life, ministry, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus, illustrating how He transformed the world and continues to impact lives today. The film was produced by The Salvation Poem Project, directed by John J. Schafer (Superbook) and Tom Bancroft (Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, Mulan), with Tony Bancroft (Mulan, Mary Poppins Returns, Space Jam: A New Legacy) serving as Animation Director.

BFF Lifestyle, a thriving online platform dedicated to celebrating the enduring power of friendship, brought its community together for this shared experience. Known for cultivating meaningful human connections, the platform gained prominence after hosting the inaugural BFF Conference in 2023 to coincide with the International Day of Friendship, a tradition that has continued annually.

Audience reactions to the film were overwhelmingly positive. Viewers praised the animation, the relatability of the characters, and the faithful representation of scripture. Many expressed a desire for the film to be longer or adapted into a series, highlighting how engaging and moving the story was. The crucifixion scene, in particular, drew strong emotional responses, leaving some viewers feeling both "sad and happy all at once." Audiences appreciated that the producers maintained sensitivity for younger viewers, ensuring the scene was impactful without being overly graphic.
