No longer a slave, Denver's life was still hopeless-until God moved. First came a godly woman who prayed, listened, and obeyed. And then came her husband, Ron, an international arts dealer at home in a world of Armani-suited millionaires. And then they all came together. "But slavery takes many forms. Deborah discovers that she has cancer. In the face of possible death, she charges her husband to rescue Denver. Who will be saved, and who will be lost? What is the future for these unlikely three? What is God doing? more info

A 15 year old youth who was gunned down because of his sexual orientation, Larry's life--and, more importantly, the nature of his death--deserves recognition. While many efforts have been carried out around the country to remember the circumstances surrounding Larry's death, none have yet to be demonstrated here in Dallas. Ergo, it is with great honor that I make each of you aware of a community vigil we are organizing here in Dallas on Sunday, March 9, 2008. The vigil will be held at Cathedral of Hope at 7pm and will include a memorial walk towards the crossroads at Cedar Springs and Oak Lawn. Of course, this event is open to the public. It is our intention to not only observe this tragedy, but it is also our hope to help raise awareness for the bullying and harassment LGBT persons endure not only in the public school setting but in the community at large as well. Together, we hope to facilitate change. more info

Following a pair of denim jeans from birth to sale, China Blue links the power of the U.S. consumer market to the daily lives of a Chinese factory owner and two teenaged female factory workers. Filmed both in the factory and in the workers' faraway village, this documentary provides a rare, human glimpse at China's rapid transformation into a free market society. more info
