… erschien vorgestern dieser Film. FĂĽr die, denen es vor gar nichts graust, habe ich die komplette Inhaltsangabe aus der IMDB ergänzt (unten in kursiv). Die anderen mögen sich der verhärmten Missionarin Ingrid Bergmanns aus dem alten Orient-Express-Film erinnern, deren Beschreibung die bis heute beste Zusammenfassung des Geistes christlicher Missionsarbeit wiedergibt (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3wG8_VCCM8). Bleibt die Frage, was den Algorithmus umtreibt, mir so einen Schund zu empfehlen? Ich nehme mal zu seinen Gunsten an, dass er mir Material fĂĽr den blog liefern wollte – allein das Salz im Titel durch GlaubensfĂĽllung zu ersetzen, spricht Bände.
… in the hope of bringing some Christmas spirit (in the form of laughter and fun) into the community. Now on her own, Simon’s wife Emily convinces her friend Betty (a skeptic) to join her for the day. They proceed to the home of Emily’s son, Walter, who it turns out is African-American and was adopted when he was 12 years old. Walter and his wife Ruth (also African-American) now have two adopted 17-year-old sons in the home (one African-American and one Caucasian). There is also a Hispanic 3-year-old female foster child in the home. Walter and Ruth proceed to take the foster child to a visit with her biological mother while Emily and Betty join her adopted grandchildren to undertake some evangelism on the beach. One of the adopted boys is hoping to see his biological mother (a homeless woman) while they are on the beach, which does, in fact, take place. The film is a drama with numerous moments of humor and highlights a family actively involved in foster care, adoption, homeless ministry, and nursing home ministry, and the moments those ministries create. It is a film about the joyous adventure which constitutes the Christian life. Because we filmed in South Florida, we were able to create a rich tapestry of cultures and ethnicities throughout the film.
