Pretoria, and more specifically Princes Park in the west of Pretoria’s CBD, had its first outdoor movie night last month! Faith comes by hearing – but when you add visualisation, it makes sharing the Gospel even more effective!
Jesus Film Project in South Africa
Dare to Love is so blessed to be partnering with the Jesus Film Project, South Africa! They recently issued us with a full movie set that we could add to our quiver. This is such an incredible tool for sharing and confirming the Gospel of Jesus Christ! It also makes it possible for people to hear the Gospel in their own language! The Jesus Film has already been translated into more than 2000 languages!
What is a movie night without popcorn?
We had the full package on offer – a great movie, popcorn, chips, cookies, and cooldrink! The Jesus Film, based on the Gospel of Luke, really has the perfect balance between showing scenes like the crucifixion in a way that does not compromise the reality and truth thereof, yet it is still family friendly. What was most amazing was watching the 12 or 15 children who were sitting right in the front row! Sometimes they even forgot to eat their snacks! For the full two hours, this movie kept their attention span continuously.
“Nothing hindered the Gospel”
Not even the rain could steal anyone’s attention from this movie. Nobody blinked an eye when it started to rain – we just had to find a way through the crowd in order to pitch gazebos over them! It was as if God was just adding some real 4D to our movie night – right at the exact scene where Jesus is in the boat with His disciples in the storm, it started pouring down!
More amazing things to come
What is so exiting about partnering with the Jesus Film Project is that it is about so much more than just the film! They have so much other video content as well. The heart behind all of it is truly disciple-making and multiplying through their Bible study methodology. This can be used in small gatherings and with the study guide assistance, it empowers people to facilitate small discipleship groups through Word-based content! All this content is freely available – just search for Jesus Film Project on your Android or iPhone app store!
Keep your eyes out for more
We can’t wait to host our next movie night in the streets of Pretoria – we are already planning the next event! Keep an eye out on our Facebook page for the announcement and come and join us! Facebook.com/daretolovesa
