General Session 2
In this media-driven world, Christians increasingly engage others with the Gospel message using electronic modes of communication. One important way to share the Gospel with today’s youth is through film.  Faith Street Film Partners and Hope Lutheran Church in Greece, NY, will share excerpts from their upcoming faith-based film, King’s Faith, and facilitate a discussion based on clips from the movie on how to reach young people with the Gospel.
