Lincoln Family Theater solidifies Miracle Movie Ministry
Now playing FREE, inspirational, Christian movies, twice a day, every day

[January 26, 2019]   Having completed its pilot effort in the final months of 2018, the Lincoln Family Theater and Community Center is advancing its Miracle Movie Ministry to a new permanent status in January 2019.

Pilot films included “I Can Only Imagine” and “The Shack.” January movies have included the “God’s Not Dead” series films one, two and three.

The MMM film will now play every day, twice a day at 3:45 p.m. and during prime time evenings hours of 6:45 p.m.

“We are very excited about the response we have received so far,” says LFT Operations Manager Marilyn Altman. “By featuring the same two movie times every day we are confident this will take this ministry to the next level.”

Miracle Movie Ministry movies run for one week at a time beginning every Friday. Films will include those from both large nationwide film companies as well as smaller, regional and at times independent movie makers

The February listing includes:

• Priceless
  February 1 – 7

• A Question of Faith
  February 8 – 14

• God Bless The Broken Road
  February 15 – 21

• Same Kind Of Different As Me
  February 22 – 28

“It has been a bit of a battle to get this nailed down, but God has made a way and we are moving forward.” says Altman. “We all know someone who may be struggling through something whether it be loneliness, a disability, addiction/ recovering or otherwise troubled. So we invite our MMM viewers to create their own little ministry by telling others about our free movie ministry and inviting, or bringing those people who would benefit from the encouraging messages they bring.

Movies are also often used to assist people with various types of addictions. Recovery First is an entity that has identified movies which can be used for treatment in this way. A listing of their current movies appears at https://www. recoveryfirst.org/blog/the-big-list-of-addiction-recovery-movies/.  LFT is analyzing how a specific ministry may be set up around these films.

LFT is also in the planning stages for other ministries. “We are in the process of partnering with agencies who serve those with special needs as well as their caregivers.“says Altman. “We have an opportunity to serve those in our community who may not be able to attend a regular scheduled movie due to sensitivities to sound, light or other issues.”
 

“We are blessed to have a facility with handicap accessibility.” says Altman. “We have so much to offer, the possibilities are endless.”
