...paid staffers, 550,000 trained volunteers, operates in 190 countries, and was listed in the 90's as one of the country's biggest and most efficient charities. Bright diversified wildly: his second most successful product is the "JESUS" film, a celluloid gospel financed by Nelson Bunker Hunt that Bright calculates has played "to 4.2 billion people in 660 languages...
