Facing the Giants
Have you heard about all the buzz surrounding the movie Facing the Giants? The film was actually shot and produced by a church--Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany, GA.
They happened to have a meeting @ Ebenezers today so I met a foursome who are in DC promoting the film. Way to cool. My heart skips a beat when I meet people who are creatively sharing the gospel via new mediums!
These people are lion chasers.
They shot their first film back in 2002 with a prosumer Cannon XL-1 on a $20,000 budget. The genesis of this vision was a study that named the top ten entities that influence people in American culture. Movies were in the top ten and the church was no where to be found. So they decided to make a movie. Here is a cool thing. They involved their entire congregation! Babysitters and meal-makers were in the credits. The church was cast and crew!
What a redefinition of what it means to be a missional church.
