Low Income Families Treated to Dinner and Son of God Movie

Jeremy Reynalds : Mar 10, 2014  Assist News Service

"I have always been fascinated by the Matthew 22 parable in the Bible. The poor were invited to a wedding banquet in place of the wealthy, who were too busy to come. When I heard 'Son of God' producers Mark Burnett and Roma Downey, along with Pastor Rick Warren, talking about the film being for everyone, something just clicked. It really is thrilling to give this kind of gift." -John David Ware

About 300 people will be picked up on March 16, and taken to a private screening of "Son of God" in Glendale, California.

According to a news release made available to the ASSIST News Service, the event is the brainchild of 168 Film Founder, John David Ware.

He said, "I have always been fascinated by the Matthew 22 parable in the Bible. The poor were invited to a wedding banquet in place of the wealthy, who were too busy to come. When I heard 'Son of God' producers Mark Burnett and Roma Downey, along with Pastor Rick Warren, talking about the film being for everyone, something just clicked. It really is thrilling to give this kind of gift."

Viewing the film at the Pacific Theater in the Americana Mall, attendees will enjoy an outing where they are the stars. Plans include a hero's reception and a meal, complete with popcorn and beverage during the movie.

According to the news release, the event will include six buses and food for 300. Afterwards, a documentary will be produced to memorialize the event.

Ware's 168 Film said it is partnering with longtime friends Stephen and Linda Tavani of WOW International. WOW ministers to the inner city, giving gifts of food and groceries, bicycle repair, entertainment and the Gospel.

Son of God eventTransformed lives transform communities. That is the reason Jesus came and why we are here."

Ware said he immediately called Tavani when he got the idea.

"We make a great team in our uncommon goal to build bridges to the underprivileged, and this is something that bears repeating," he said.

In its 12th year, 168 Film is an incubator for faith-filled media that includes writing and filmmaking competitions and training.

Filmmakers entering its flagship competition, the 168 Film Project, are challenged to communicate the message of a randomly selected Scripture. The May 2014 competition is open to filmmakers anywhere in the world. This year's theme is "The Gift."
