This Sunday evening we will be screening 180, The Movie. Here’s what others are saying about this award winning film:
“I give my unflinching, joyful, trembling Yes to ‘180’. Unflinching, because it’s right. Joyful, because it’s good. Trembling, because this our defeated enemy is still vicious.” John Piper – Pastor for Preaching and Vision, Bethlehem Baptist Church
“My friend Ray Comfort has produced a powerful piece of media that leaves a lasting mark on your heart and mind. ‘180’ is 33 minutes of video adrenaline, shock, and hope. As defenders of the unborn and messengers of the Gospel of Life, we need to see this video and share it with as many people as we can.” Kirk Cameron – Actor and TV Co-host
“Mind-blowing and unforgettable!” Randy Alcorn – Eternal Perspective Ministries
“If you have never seen this 33 minute video produced by good friend Ray Comfort–I urge you to do so…eye opening—disturbing…It will powerfully challenge you concerning the Holocaust in America.” Ken Ham – President/CEO, Answers in Genesis
We want to make a connection between our ongoing evangelism studies, the great good of the gospel, and abortion, one of the great evils of the enemy. In doing so we will be challenged on many fronts including,
“How do I get from a contemporary issue of the times, of which everyone has an opinion (like abortion), to the issue of life, and hope, and promise found only in the gospel?” This film offers a path. Steve Camp says: “’180’ is the most profound gospel-advance on the abortion issue I’ve ever seen.”
PARENTAL ADVISORY: This film contains some graphic images of the Nazi holocaust as well as the horror of the murder of unborn babies. Parents should decide whether or not their children are mature enough to watch the film. We will have our normal nursery staff (for children up to 3 years) – and will gladly provide additional care upon request. Here is what one pastor writes regarding a church screening:
“I just watched it and it was well done and I love the way Ray deals with the subject. He does it in a loving, no condemning, or putting down those who have had an abortion, and graceful way. I wish that more Christians would approach it that way, instead of arguing, condemning, yelling, and pushing people away from the grace, forgiveness, and love of God. This will be a tremendous tool and resource in communicating the truth and the Gospel Message. I will be sharing this video in our church and I believe that every pastor and congregation needs to see this video. May the hearts of the Nation be changed and turned toward Jesus Christ.”
Andrew Russell, Senior Pastor, Calvary Melbourne, Australia
I hope you’ll join us on Sunday evening and invite others that you think might benefit from this film.
