Journey to Jamaa: a World Vision experience and a great resource for your CA ministry!

Are you familiar with the film, Journey to Jamaa? Jamaa is an award-winning short film based on the incredible true story of two children in Uganda. It was originally designed to be part of a Sunday morning worship experience but there are many other ways you can use it for your ministry. It's a fantastic resource for sharing sponsorship with others! 

Following are a few ideas for ways to use Journey to Jamaa in your ministry:

1. As part of a Sunday morning service

If your church has agreed to do a Hope Sunday, you may want to see if they would be interested in hosting  J2J as part of the Sunday morning service. What would that be like? Check out this link to get an idea of how that could work: http://jamaa.worldvision.org/

2. As a movie night for church

J2J could be used as a movie night at church or for small groups. This works particularly well if you could pair it with a little music worship time as the movie is shorter (35 min).

3. Home Movie Party 

If you've been looking for a way to share with neighbors, family, and friends about your CA ministry but can never find the words or if you feel like they just don't understand why this  ministry is so important to you, try a J2J movie night in your home. This movie will help put it all into words for you. Try using some Ugandan recipes for an additional way to connect with the region!

4. Lunch Break at Work

In some workplaces, it may be possible to advertise a J2J showing and host it over a lunch break. Check with your workplace and see if it could work for you.

  

5. Ministry Groups

Men's breakfasts, Women's luncheons, MOPS groups... See if they would like to host a showing.

6. Community Movie

One church hosted an outdoor movie showing in a community park. They put up a big screen and advertised it around the community. They had a great showing and even used it as a  springboard for community outreach.

7. Local Colleges

A local college used J2J as part of a ministry fair. To get into the college, I needed a student to request that it be there. The students loved it! They laughed, cried and applauded. It was an incredible  experience!

8. Youth Groups/ YoungLife

It never hurts to check with your local youth and see if there is an interest.
