The Distant Boat Movie

Some of you may have already heard about The Distant Boat.  The Distant Boat is a feature film about Africa, Missions, The Church, and our responsibility to reach the lost.  It was shot and produced by AIM (Africa Inland Mission) right here in Nairobi, Kenya.   

A nice number showed up for the launch

Being part of FTT (Finish The Task) we have had the privilege of being on the movie's steering committee and helping to head up the distribution of this film in a strategic way. The hope is that this movie will stir the hearts of the Kenyan people and help mobilize the Church toward missions. There was a tremendous turn out at the movie’s premier with many church leaders acknowledging a need to start mission programs and to mobilize their congregation for missions.

We have also helped FTT in the development of study guides for the movie targeting specific groups to optimize it’s effectiveness in church mobilization.  To view the trailer Click Here or visit the FTT website to download the full movie.  FTT is a big part of what we are involved in and what we do here in Nairobi. John is in charge of the FTT website so if you have questions please let us know.  

 We are so excited to be part of this movie.  It is the first of it's kind here in Africa and truly is a great tool for mobilizing the church for missions.  It tells the story of a Kenyan man who hears God calling him to be a missionary and the real life struggles anyone wanting to be a missionary would face here in the African context.
