Very interested in screening the film in my community.
Hi Kelli– We’ve sent you an email about setting up a film screening of your own!
Team 58:
I could not help myself but to shed tears like a babe after watching the LIVE58 FILM shown at Trinity Baptist Church, Accra East Legon. There is one thing that is a fact that each every one of us has ability to make n impact in the live of other. WE HAVE AVAILABLE RESOURCES at our disposal to help the poorest of poor and neediest of needy to live a meaningful life. Jesus came to seek and save the lost.
My perception and understanding about poverty has really changed. i am going all out to help change lives in Ghana and else where.
I have experience poverty together with my parents who were poor farmers, so i have understood the issues of poverty and to eliminate this evil, it worth sending our children to school. In fact education has been my source of relief today but then the church can also be of help in terms of creating avenues for young people to explore their God giving talents.
Together we can fight poverty through hardwork and with prayer.
God bless you for 58
Watched this movie tonight in Wyoming, MI st Southside Vineyard. Great film! Fits in great with the book/study we’ve been doing The Hole in the Gospel. One question I had was regarding the comments at the end of the movie about the family who was in the quarry. It said they moved to a new quarry. Did the producers not help the family by paying off the $600.00 debt? Thanks.
> Yes the 58: film crew did provide significant financial assistance to Sanjiv and his family. The crew returned to the quarry several months later and was told that Sanjiv had moved to another quarry. You can read more on the FAQ page – http://www.live58.org/about/faq/
Had an awesome screening at our church Sunday night! Had about 900 in attendance at Grace Baptist in Knoxville, TN. Very powerful film. Mike Hamilton, former athletic director at UT and current president of Blood Water Mission spoke after the movie. Awesome Night!
For our February Missions Festival (three weeks) we’re anchoring a film series with 58. Our theme is SEARCH & RESCUE–and our heart is to see our church family ramp it up in service and love for the widow, the orphan, the immigrant and the poor. THANK YOU for this amazing resource!
Our church wants to serve

I just saw this film and I literally am speechless. I plan to, hopefully, have a screening at Praise Chapel Buena Park very soon.
Please pray that they allow me to.

I love you guys!

I am hoping to schedule a screening at my church in Temecula, CA. Loved it!
I have not been able to find a screeening near us and I would like to view this movie and show it to my church. Looking forward to be a part of ending the cycle of Poverty in the World today!

I would like to host a screening for my small group and church.
I saw the film Oct.13 and was moved by the hope of a changed heart even in unchanged circumstances.

We would love you to see the film too!
Email team@live58.org and they will help you.
Hi,
I was at the screening last night here in Indianapolis. I thought there was a message on the screen at one point that said you could request a complimentary copy of the film. Is that possible to do, and how would I go about doing it?
I work for a humanitarian relief organization called Samaritan’s Feet…we distribute shoes to children and adults all over the world. Our founder is from Nigeria, Africa and didn’t receive his first pair of shoes until the age of 9. I would love for him to see this film, especially the reference about the Good Samaritan.
Thank you so much for the work that took place to make this film happen. I wish our theater would have been more full last night, but I know it had an impact on the people that were there which is all it takes.

I have just returned home from the advance viewing of 58:The Film in Jacksonville FL. My prayers are with you on this project, and will be seeking God in how I may put “feets” to my prayers. It is definitely time for Christians to take up the banner and “shout it aloud, and not hold back”. I, for one, want my “light to break forth like the dawn” and to be “like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail”. Count me in, Brothers and Sisters.
