Both women and men all over the globe are being deeply touched by Magdalena: Released From Shame. They are saying that they have never viewed a film so powerful in communicating that Christ values women. To make the connection with women’s hearts so strongly, we had women write, direct and produce the film. Magdalena: Released From Shame is a fresh look at what we believe the women of Christ’s time would have experienced when personally encountering His compassion and healing. Now, pastors and woman's ministry leaders who have seen it cannot wait to use it in their ministries. As a tool for evangelism, it is encouraging women to step out in faith to reach the women in their sphere of influence in a new way.
Potential Ministry Uses
- Ask the Lord for His leading in reaching the women in your area.

- Reach out to women’s groups and leadership in your city.
- Humanitarian projects for women: Single moms; Homeless; Women’s prisons; Crisis pregnancy centers.
