Last week the VBH (InterVarsity) did an outreach at the university dorm using film + discussion. The film that they showed was "Lord of War" with Nicholas Cage. In Slovak it was roughly translated as "The Merchant of Death." My first though was, "how are they going to put a spiritual twist on this one?" To my surprise the whole thing went great! Why should I be surprised - God is working! The film was shown in the conference hall off of the main lobby, so a great people catching location. And it caught about 120-150 students! After the film the VBH students invited the crowd to stay for small group discussions. About 1/3rd stayed - which is great for a typical outreach here in Slovakia. And surprisingly enough the VBH students were able to make some clear bridges between the tough issues presented in the film to the spiritual issues of our lives. The natural to the supernatural. Pray that the students who stayed for the discussions will honestly consider their need for a Savior that can not only heal a broken world, but even their own personal brokenness.
