The American Gospel: Recreate the Night in 5 Easy Steps

February 6, 2019 by Barry Peterson

Many of you saw that we put on a special showing of the documentary, The American Gospel at University Reformed Church in East Lansing, MI on Friday January 18^th. And we are so thankful for those of you that were able to make it out. Since then, several have asked us how it went and how they could watch the documentary for themselves.

First, it went great, we had around 120 people come out for the night, many of whom we met for the first time. After some light refreshments and Evan opening the night, we settled in for the film, took a short break part way through, and ended our time of fellowship with Confex’s closing remarks on the impact of the Prosperity Gospel in Malawi.

Second, how can you watch the documentary for yourself? Here’s 5 Easy Steps how you can recreate the night and support MRN at the same time:

STEP 1: Invite some friends to join you.

STEP 2: Put out some light snacks and drinks.

STEP 3: Watch the Film

Available for Rent for $4.99

STEP 4: Hear from Confex

STEP 5: Pray together for Malawi

PS: We’re planning similar events around Michigan and North Carolina in the coming months. So, if you live in those areas, keep an eye out for those dates.

PPS: Special thanks to Chris and Danielle Spencer, Jon Anderson, and Bethany Ehrlich for helping make the night a success.

In Christ,

Barry Peterson
