Da Vinci Outreach!
As I mentioned briefly last nite, we are having an outreach tomorrow for the Da Vinci movie. We'll be going out to four different movie theatres in Montreal, and asking movie goers to take a survey about the Da Vinci Code... what they thought of the movie, if the movie encouraged them to think about God, etc... and also to direct them to a website to discuss or ask questions: www.discussdavinci.comAlso exciting though, is that our outreach tomorrow is getting national news coverage! It was in the Globe and Mail today, in particular mentioning John Bellingham, one of the staff on our project! (see the article at www.sfu.ca/~rainbowc/DaVinci.doc). I think there's going to be some sort of press release with the survey results sometime tomorrow night.
I've only gotten halfway through the book but went to go see the movie today. And twisted as some of the story is, it does of course talk about Christianity, and does bring up some questions of faith. Do pray for people to not blindedly think that the movie is portraying truth, and that they would be prompted to seek for real truth, and for us that as we speak with people and potentially the media, that we would be wise in our words, to uphold the true heart of Campus Crusade and our mission to show who Jesus is. Also do pray for the weather... it has been POURING RAIN (almost breaking the record for most rainfall ever in Montreal in May!), and we'll be having our survey booths outside all day!
I'll let you all know how it went soon! =)

Bow, that's awesome! that's a great article from the Globe and Mail... not that national coverage means anything, but perhaps this story, or other related ones will draw people to critically think about the movie, and remember it's fictitious nature.
it's interesting the article mentioned the Muslim response..i wonder what the author thought, considering his name seems to be of some kind of Arab descent..
remember to share the true heart of Jesus as you're chatting with people.
update us and let us know how it goes...THIS needs to go in your newsletter! if you ever make one :)
