Passion

As part of my job I’m trying to collect a number of stories about how The Passion of the Christ has impacted people and how it has been used as part of evangelistic strategies.

I sent an email to a number of church leaders yesterday to try to gain some responses. Here is some of what I wrote.

Over the last year much has been said and written about Mel Gibson’s movie The Passion of the Christ. The movie has had a major impact on public and private discussion as millions of people have sought to share thoughts and ideas on Mel Gibson’s interpretation of the last 12 hours of the life of Jesus Christ.

I know that many people have been touched by the movie. I have already heard of many instances of lives being turned around for Jesus. If you have a story to tell, we’d love to hear it. We would like to collect a number of testimonies of how churches and individuals have used the movie and the impact it has had.

If you know of someone else who has a story to tell, please ask them to email me. We would like to hear as many of the stories ‘first hand’ as possible so that they can be verified.

Our aim is to share these stories to give God the glory for the way he is working through The Passion of the Christ. We are not wanting to lift up the movie but lift up the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We also understand that while reaction to the film by Christians has been overwhelmingly positive, there are some who have not been so keen to promote the movie for a number of reasons. If you are one of those people we also welcome your input.

If you have a story to tell please add it below in the comments section or email me.
