After being successfully trialled in churches last year, a new evangelistic film telling the story of the thief on the cross is set to launch.
The one-hour film, Heaven, How I Got Here: The Story of the Thief on the Cross, is based on a book by Pastor Colin Smith and has been produced by charity Open the Bible in partnership with The Gospel Coalition. Having already been translated into 20 languages, there are now plans for it be shown in prisons across the UK, with the help of Daylight Christian Prison Trust.
Gaius Phillingham, CEO of Daylight, said: ‘Prison is often a lonely and dark place. To bring the news of a sure and certain hope of heaven through Jesus and Jesus alone, is a real gift.
