FILM SCREENING | SABINA: TORTURED FOR CHRIST – THE NAZI YEARS | HOSTED BY VOICE OF THE MARTYRS
Sunday, September 4, 9:15pm-11:15pm | Tennessee Ballroom
Join The Voice of the Martyrs, official global missions partner of the Sing! Conference, for an exclusive screening of their film, “Sabina – Tortured for Christ, the Nazi Years,” and experience this urgent call to deeper faith and missions. Sabina is the story of how an ambitious, atheistic, hedonist girl became one of the great women of Christianity in the 20th Century. The film opens with our hero risking her life to help a trio of Nazi soldiers. Why? Why would she risk her life to help the very army that killed her whole family? This is the story that answers that life-defining question with the promise that the heart of the Gospel is forgiveness. When you attend, you will also have the opportunity to receive a kit to host this inspiring film in your small group or church. RSVP required (www.singglobal.com/breakouts).
