Free Evangelistic Christian Film Fest to Kick Off in Orlando

For eight days and ten nights, ten faith-based movies will be showing for free this week with the hope of leading hundreds to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

The annual Greater Orlando Christian Film Festival, which kicks off Thursday at Regal Cinemas in Orlando, will feature movies including "Facing the Giants," "Pilgrim's Progress - Journey to Heaven," "Most (The Bridge)," and newly released "Saving God," starring Hollywood actor Ving Rhames.

Also present will be special guests including producer and director Rich Christiano and actress Erin Bethea, who stars in the box office hit "Fireproof," which has grossed over $16.9 million in less than a month.

"It's a very unique ministry," says Tom Saab, founder and president of the Christian Film Festivals of America, Inc., about his organization.

"We've been recognized as the most unique evangelistic ministry in the United States," he adds.

Since the founding of the Christian Film Festivals of America, 33 film festivals have been held around the country, including more than a dozen in New England, and a handful in California, Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee and New York.

At each festival, ten to 14 different Christian movies are presented from approximately 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. for seven to eight days. At the end of every show, a live invitation is given and trained counselors minister to and pray for those who respond.
