Read About An Idea That You Can Do! Plus Enter to Win a Free Copy (Autographed by Kirk Cameron) of "The Love Dare" as seen in the movie FIREPROOF.

Before we get to the drawing for the autographed copy of The Love Dare, I'd like to tell you about an idea that Emilio and I came up with.

We live in a community that has a Home Owners Association (HOA) and we're on the email list--it's sent to everyone in our community when an event arises. That means we have all their emails. So, we came up with an idea that we want to share with you and if you feel lead, perhaps this is something you can do too.

Just minutes ago, we sent out an email to everyone on our HOA email list (it sort of made me nervous when I hit the "send" button--but I'm excited to see what happens) and below is the email we composed. If you like the idea, all you have to do is copy and paste the text of the letter and put your community in the slot. You could do this for friends and family too (or anyone you haven't told about the movie). We choose our neighbors. Here's the email:

"Hi Everyone!

We are residents of (Your Community Name Goes Here) and want to tell you about an opportunity we’re proposing for all the residents of (Your Community Name Goes Here)! Perhaps some of you saw Kirk Cameron (from "Growing Pains") on Dr. Phil recently talking about his new movie FIREPROOF.

We saw FIREPROOF the other night and thoroughly enjoyed it and feel that every marriage in America could use a dose of this film. So we are offering 2 FREE MOVIE TICKETS to the 17th person to respond to this email! If you are the 17th person, you will win 2 free movie tickets to go see FIREPROOF with your SPOUSE on the night of your choice. FIREPROOF is a must watch film and it's playing in town now! But you don't have to be married to see this film, whether single or married, if you're the 17th person to email, you will win 2 tickets to the movie either way.

Listen to what others are saying about FIREPROOF:

"FIREPROOF is a gripping and powerful story. Its surprising twists and turns make for a great plot with a simple, but powerful message. I loved it and you will too!" Mike Huckabee

"I've spent my entire life trying to win in two different pro sports. What I appreciate about FIREPROOF is that it's an entertaining and challenging reminder of what it takes to win in marriage! FIREPROOF is a great illustration that apart from Christ, relationships are doomed to fail. I'm so appreciative that the folks at Provident Films have stepped out and made a movie that will inspire husbands and wives to submit their marriages to the Lord and to stand up and fight for a battle worth winning." Joe Gibbs - Owner, Joe Gibbs Racing, NFL Hall of Fame Coach

Did you know that The Love Dare, originally a plot device, has become the No. 1 bestseller on the New York Times list of paperback advice books!

If you haven't heard of FIREPROOF until now, please visit http://www.fireproofthemovie.com/ to find out about the movie and here is a link to the theatres in town where it's playing: http://www.fireproofthemovie.com/theaters/

All you have to do is be the 17th person to respond!

Have a great week.

Mr. and Mrs. Ramos "

So that's the email, and if you decide to use it and make sure you sign it with your name and not ours. :-)

We've put the "17th" person because our community is fairly small (we have about 90 emails on our list, but you can change that number to anything you would like). Then, when the 17th person responds back to you, follow up with an email and work out the details with them).

Pretty simple. I've never done anything like this before so we we'll see what happens but I got to thinking about it and all it costs us is $19.00 and we blessed a couple in our community AND were able to send out an email to all the other residents. And if worse comes to worse and no one responds, then at least we got the word out and maybe some one will go see it on their own and hear the Gospel message...it's a win win situation!
