In the mad dash between Thanksgiving and Christmas Day it can be easy to forget why we pause to celebrate this «most special time of year.» The shopping, the parties, the presents, the work—it all goes toward making the holiday season the «most wonderful time of year.» But in those hectic schedules the true reason for the season can get pushed aside. That is why this year Dr. David Jeremiah, and his production company Turning Point Studios, set aside December 14 to «Reach the World» with the true meaning of Christmas and the hope the Nativity story brings.
This past Saturday, December 14, Turning Point theatrically released its feature length docudrama, Why the Nativity? to 20 major US cities for free. Each theater had three showings, providing communities the opportunity to attend at a variety of times. In addition to the theatrical releases, Turning Point offered churches, organizations, and individuals the opportunity to download the film for free for private showings in areas where a theatrical release was not available.
While thousands attended the theatrical showings in cities from New York to Honolulu, more than 12,000 groups downloaded resources to participate in private screenings.Internationally, Reach the World Day extended to 6 continents, 30 countries, and 11 languages. Why the Nativity? was made available to theaters, churches, and home groups in Spanish, Mandarin, Hindi, Arabic, Telugu, Russian, Ukrainian, Bahasa Indonesia, Tamil, Farsi, and English. From Jakarta to Jerusalem, Mexico City to Moscow, Sydney to Shanghai and so many places in between, the story of Christ’s birth is reaching the world. Several partners in Central and South America have extended Reach the World Day to include showings of Why the Nativity? across multiple platforms for the entire week leading up to Christmas Day.
