Changed Forever Update

A few posts back I wrote about how God worked through our summer movie teaching series to change the lives of some students forever. After teaching our lesson on The Fantastic Four, four students invited Jesus Christ to become Lord of their lives. It was their changed forever moment.

Kevin Franske, Wooddale's Senior High Program Assistant, told me before our series began that Ralph Winter, the Executive Producer of The Fantastic Four was a believer. Ralph had spoken to Bethel University students in the spring about God and Hollywood. Kevin has corresponded on and off with Ralph ever since.

Last week I felt impressed to let Ralph know about how God had used the trailer for his movie as a teaching tool to lead some to Christ. Here is Ralph's response:

What incredible news. I am truly moved by this. What an amazing God we serve that He chooses to use whatever we have in hand for His purposes. I am humbled to be a part of His process with those students. Thank so much for your support in prayer.

Let's keep Ralph Winter, and other believers in Hollywood in our prayers. Ralph has an opportunity to impact millions of people through his movies. He is currently filming X-Men 3, and has been the producer in every one of the X-Men Movies, Star Trek III, IV, V, VI, Mighty Joe Young, Inspector Gadget, Planet of the Apes, and many more.

"Grace to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love."
