FFS: Christian & Missionary Alliance Film Festival

Josh Whitemean emailed me from the video office to let us know that this summer the Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA) will hold our first-ever film festival. This is a great opportunity for your students to network and get exposure to a broader audience. Students claiming a C&MA church as theirhome church may enter. The reason I am writing you is because our missions recruitment office shows Malone as having a high number of Alliance students. Entrants don’t have to be at the festival to win some great prizes.

More details are available in A. Rudd's office or check out their website:
