FIREPROOF Newsletter




		A Movement Forms ... FIREPROOF is the story of a firefighter, his wife ... and a marriage worth rescuing. While it opened in theaters on September 26, the FIREPROOF movement had begun long before then. FIREPROOF is the latest movie from the creators of Facing the Giants, a joint effort between Sherwood Pictures (the moviemaking ministry of a church in Georgia!), Provident Films, and Samuel Goldwyn. Last fall's filming in Albany, Georgia was followed by a spring and summer grassroots awareness campaign. In addition, leading marriage and family ministries, church leaders, and business leaders have actively been supporting this film, knowing that marriages would be impacted by it. Marriages like Josh's: "I've been married for eight years and we have overcome the most extreme problems. FIREPROOF reaffirmed the decision we made to fight for our marriage. ... Marriages are not transformed by movies, but through this movie, Jesus Christ will save many who are open to Him and His Love." Read more stories like this

		Helping Marriages Now When FIREPROOF was being shown to church, ministry, and business leaders all across the country this summer, one of the most common reactions after people saw it was, "Can this movie come out NOW?" It seems that everyone knows someone whose marriage is struggling ... or worse. After all, statistics indicate that half of all marriages end in divorce. And that includes marriages within the church! People's marriages are burning to the ground. This is what Vera said: "This movie totally hit home. ... We were both pretty much giving up on each other. My mother called and told me about the movie. I was going to the movie alone. I believe God intervened and had Rob come home early that day from work. ... "Throughout the movie, I would hear him whisper, 'that's us on that screen.' We waited for all to leave the theater. Rob held me tight, crying and thanking me for taking him to see this wonderful movie. We are a changed couple. We are more respectful and loving towards one another. It truly feels wonderful being in love with someone God has specifically chosen for me!" FIREPROOF is here this weekend. In the fickle movie industry, it's not guaranteed to be in as many theaters next weekend. Help impact a marriage today!

"Our marriage was about to go when I went to our pastors and told them I needed to step down from my duties in the church until we got our marriage right with God. Then we received the book The Love Dare, and FIREPROOF had just come to the theaters in our area. We saw the movie, and it was a very tearful ride home. But they are healing tears. It changed my life and is a tool used by God to save our marriage. We are now going through counseling, and I love my wife now more than I ever imagined."
