See FIREPROOF the Movie In 60 Seconds! - Fireproof was the #1 independent movie release of 2008 and now you can watch it in just one minute! How'? As the producers were filming in late 2007, they would go back and shoot a quick, few-second version of the same scene. By the time they were done, they had the movie in 60 seconds. Now get a sense of the film's amazing impact! Check it out HERE.
The movie Fireproof became a box office smash since its release last September 2008. Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany, GA raised $500,000 to produce a movie to "impact the culture". Well, they sure did! Fireproof to date has grossed $33 million, helped rescue thousands of marriages across the country, given the church a valuable new ministry resource and encouraged Christian film writers and producers. Fireproof also has some powerful messages for men
WACMM has developed and is presenting a special new seminar using clips from Fireproof and other movies to help men address what it means to be a godly husband, loving father and faithful friend.
