The new Samaritan’s Purse documentary FACING DARKNESS will be in theaters as a special one-night event on Thursday, March 30. Bring your church out to see this story of how faith conquered fear during the Ebola crisis of 2014.
"FACING DARKNESS is a testimony to what God can do and will do. I hope that out of this movie, there will be an army of young people who will say yes to missions. It’s an incredible story!" —Franklin Graham
Make March 30 a Night to Remember For Your Church ...
· Bring a group of 10 or more—the movie will resonate with mission teams, Sunday school classes, women's ministry, youth, or your entire church! Seating is limited; get your group tickets today.
· Bring the movie to your town—if the movie isn't playing near your town, you can change that by purchasing 100 tickets (or working alongside other churches to buy 100 tickets). Learn more
· Spread the word—use the tools on the movie's website to help get the word out within your congregation … and your community at large.
We are excited for you and your church to experience FACING DARKNESS in theaters only on Thursday, March 30. Let's join together and be encouraged by God's faithfulness and love!
