Using films in ministry

Many of you know that I direct a media/film making team for Campus Crusade for Christ. We make short films that students (or churches, small groups, etc) can use to start conversations that can lead to talking about the gospel. Right now we are working on 2 new DVDs that package several films together and make it easier to use them with a group.

This morning, we got this email from a student who decided to use the films on her campus to try to open up conversations about Jesus. Here is the letter she sent:

God was so good last Thursday--we spent the first 40 minutes talking about
"In Time"...good conversation about priorities/life purpose/schedules (I
barely had to say anything because people were so into it)! We then
realized what time it was and watched "Machine" (only had a few minutes to
talk after that), but when we finished, someone said, "I would definitely
come to this again!" So we're hoping to host another one after Spring break
(in a week).

Thanks so much for your help--these films are so great at sparking
conversation!

This is the first film she was talking about:
