Soccer outreach film

Long story short, I was visiting our sending church two weeks ago (South Shore Baptist in Hingham, MA) and saw a flyer how the church is helping host the ISI Thanksgiving Conference in Boston.  I spoke with the Elder who is working with ISI (Eldon Abbott) and I gave him 200 copies of an evangelistic soccer film that I helped create called The Prize: Under Pressure .  This film is in 35 languages on a single DVD and in 49 languages online.

With soccer being the global sport, I thought it would be a great gift for the families to give to the students that they host.  I have worked with Bridges International on this same concept, and they have used our multi-language films extensively with International students on college campuses and in homes with host families.  It has been neat to hear stories of how the host family has watched it in English before hand, and then had their guest watch it in their heart language. Afterward, they can talk about the content which opens the door to spiritual conversations. 

Today, I simply wanted to:

1. Introduce myself and make you aware of this film.
2. Ask you to please share it with all the ISI staff and volunteers.  As it is online and free, this could simply be done by email.  http://www.theprize.com/
3. Share this idea of using around Thanksgiving. 
1. There are 2 levels of conversation starters found here, as well as a 7 part Bible study to help host families start the conversation.  http://www.theprize.com/resources
4. It is also available for mobility on the Jesus Film App which has great sharing capabilities for these student and those you work with on an ongoing basis (email the correct language right to the student from the App).  http://app.jesusfilmmedia.org/#
5. Selling you DVD's is not my goal as again, everything online is for free.  However, IF your staff wanted to use the DVD for Thanksgiving, gifts for returning students in the Fall, Christmas, birthday presents, graduation gifts, outreaches, or for whenever, they can purchase them here.  http://www.aiagear.com/c-35-dvds.aspx
6. IF any of your staff wanted 25 copies or more, I can offer them for the same cost that an AIA staff member would purchase them for which is only $2.  They could just email me directly with their order information.

Thank you for the work you do, and if you could please forward this to Steve Hope in Boston to give him the heads up on what is already going on, that would be greatly appreciated.  (Steve, 200 is more than Eldon needed, but wanted to get the extra copies into you hands for the Boston area.  Blessings! Shawn)
