"Retaliate with Love" coming to North Shore

North Shore churches have united to provide an engaging evening of evangelistic video. Both First Congregational Church of Hamilton and Middleton Congregational Church are pleased to announce a screening of Create International's most recent evangelistic drama “Retaliate with Love.” This powerful example of Create's work is a film in the Shan language, featuring Shan actors, and subtitled in English. It was shot in 2009 in Northern Thailand and the Sh*n State of Burm*/My*nm*r.

"Retaliate with Love" is an exciting evangelistic drama made for a specific group of people in Southeast Asia and used by ministries there to share the gospel with these historically oppressed people. The story centers on a young man who undergoes a hazardous journey from Northern Thailand into Brma to discover the whereabouts of his missing older brother.

Two Screenings:

Friday, March 18 at 7 p.m. at First Congregational Church of Middleton, 68 Maple Street, Middleton, MA 01949 - www.middleton.org

Sunday, March 20 at 6 p.m. at First Congregational Church of Hamilton, 624 Bay Road, So. Hamilton, MA 01982 - www.fcchamilton.org


Filmmakers Steve & Allyson B*ldwin now serve with a YWAM ministry called Create International in Chi*ng M*i, Th*iland producing evangelistic films in the language and culture of unreached peoples worldwide. Most recently they were producing a film in Indi*.

This engaging presentation will demonstrate how film and videos are being used to reach illiterate and unreached peoples with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. A short documentary in English about the Southeast Asian people will also be presented. A Q&A about the film, process and the ministry behind it will follow the presentation.

What are people saying about the film?

“A powerful and moving film! It's wonderful to see how God is working in other countries to change people's lives!” - Tom S, Creative Director

"I loved it. I thought it was well made and had lots of heart and passion and a really good story wrapped around the gospel message. I loved your actors. They were very authentic and you can tell were divinely appointed.” - Jason R, filmmaker

“I appreciate all the work missionaries do nowadays trying to figure out how to let the gospel be born into the culture they are seeking to reach. You obviously succeeded with Retaliate with Love.” - Alynne M, Science with a Mission, www.sciencewithamission.org

"We saw Retaliate with Love last Thursday and were totally amazed. We were able to see first hand another culture, another country, and the unique way the Gospel is presented there. We got to experience on the screen the reality of lives and hearts changed as they trusted Christ as Savior. It was an absolutely powerful story of the love of God in action. It leaves you with an unforgettable memory. Thank you for making the film.” - John & Nancy T

“What an amazingly, culturally appropriate film (I see great potential for this film with Thai subtitles). Having lived a number of years in North West Thailand, the film made us homesick. Trusting this film will continue to show God's glory and life-changing power among people groups still waiting to hear.”- Harry & Audrey B, Veteran Missionaries, Northern Thailand
