FILM FESTIVAL

______________________________________________

Welcome to the Gideon...

where cutting-edge media arts are combined with one of the most unique Christian conferences and Christian film festivals in the country.

LifeWay Conference Center, Ridgecrest, NC

We had many kind notes from faculty and students about their time at Gideon 2010 but one Facebook entry really touched our heart.

"I hear the applause of nail-scarred hands."
