Hillcrest and the Cannes Film Festival!

Some Hillcrest members will be on the screen at the Cannes Film Festival this year!

That's the exciting news from Daniel and Tiffany Kilcoyne, serving with the International Mission Board in France! While Daniel and Tiffany were members at our church, we worked with them on a film that Tiffany wrote and directed. Here's an excerpt from a recent note to Hillcrest:

Thank you for all the hard work you put in to help us produce the short film The Pelican Box. Some of you may remember that a little over a year ago, on a Saturday afternoon, Hillcrest Baptist Church became a film set, and many of you became cast and/or crew.

I am pleased to tell you that we still have contact with many [of the actors and crew] because of your efforts to play as extras in the scenes, to make food (lots of food!), and to sit down and talk with the people on the set. Thank you.

We have some more great news about the film. The Pelican Box will be a part of The Short Film Corner portion of the Cannes Film Festival in France. People from all over the world come to this festival, and our film will be there!

AND, because we registered a film, our team leader (Mentanna Campbell) and Tiffany will actually get to go to Cannes for the festival. We will be there!! It appears that film will be an important strategy for our ministry in Marseille; Mentanna and Tiffany will be able to make contacts with members of the industry from all over France and all over the world.

Please pray for this awesome opportunity. We will be actually at the festival from May 16 to May 19. The Short Film Corner will last until May 26.

Thank you for being such a big part of this project.

Here is our prayer:

Please pray that we "may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God" and that HE will "do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us."

Amen!
