BRENTWOOD, Tenn. (BP) – Not only are churchgoers watching Christian movies, but some find them useful as an evangelistic and discipleship tool.
A recent study by Lifeway Research finds 68 percent of American Protestant churchgoers have watched a Christian movie in the last year. Around 4 in 5 (81 percent) say Christian movies are effective evangelism tools.
“The Forge,” the latest film from the Kendrick brothers, releases in theaters nationwide this Friday, Aug. 23. The movie focuses on issues central to evangelism and discipleship. Stephen Kendrick, co-producer of “The Forge,” believes Christian movies can play a role in those fundamental aspects of the Christian walk.
