One of the things that has come out of our son going to Heaven is a desire to bring Hope and comfort to others who have lost loved ones. I want to "Comfort with the comfort that I have been comforted with".(2 Cor.1:4) As you can see in the responses to my last post,there are so many who have lost loved ones. And I know how much this hurts. This started with a book I wrote called,"Hope for Hurting hearts" that has brought help to many. That evolved into a film project which we just completed by the same name. Here is a news article about how it is being received. I hope you are hurting can see it. FILM’S INNOVATIVE WORLD PREMIERE REACHES THOUSANDS WITH THE HOPE OF THE GOSPEL 2,725 venues registered for a free, web-based, on-demand premiere of Harvest Ministries’ film Hope for Hurting Hearts with Greg Laurie Riverside, Calif., July 12, 2013—Eschewing an expensive and risky theater distribution, Harvest Ministries with Greg Laurie chose a more inventive method to premiere their new film, Hope for Hurting Hearts. More than 2,700 venues—churches, groups, and individuals—registered for the free world premiere, screened from July 10–14, making the film one of the most-watched online film events in Lifeway Digital Events history. Harvest Ministries partnered with Lifeway Films and their online Digital Events division to offer this compelling film, and its strong gospel message, to thousands of sites through their convenient, proprietary on-demand platform. “The medium of an on-demand, web-based movie event proved successful, as many groups of people, as well as individuals, watched in churches, on computers, and on handhelds,” says Scott Mills of LifeWay Films. Narrated by Dr. James Dobson, Hope for Hurting Hearts tells the true stories of how Greg and Cathe Laurie, Jeremy Camp, and Nick Vujicic stood at a spiritual crossroads marked by challenging and painful circumstances, and how each chose the road of trusting, following and ultimately glorifying God. "We were excited to see the response to the Hope for Hurting Hearts premiere event. It means thousands of people watched and were encouraged with the hope only found in Jesus,” says Mills. “Now is an amazing time to use technology to share Jesus, and we could not be more excited about the ministry this film had, and will continue to have.” Calvary Chapel Aurora, in Colorado, was one of the world premiere host venues. Aurora was the location of the tragic 2012 theater shooting. After the church’s viewing of Hope for Hurting Hearts, Senior Pastor Ed Taylor wrote, “Our time with the movie was glorious. We were standing room only with folks sitting on the floor.” The church sanctuary seats 1,300. After the premiere, people responded to the gospel invitation and the movie was said to be a tremendous tool for Jesus. “Marie and I personally were encouraged by the movie as the Spirit ministered to our hearts. Thank you for the privilege of being a part of something so special,” said Pastor Ed. The film on DVD can be pre-ordered now at hope.harvest.org. The DVD will be in Christian bookstores on September 24 and is in negotiations for distribution starting in October through digital streaming services and additional DVD retailers.
