Youth worker Denny Drake doesn't like Christian movies, but he loves a film that deals with faith in an authentic, relevant way. That's why he helped to arrange an advance showing of To Save A Life in Turlock, Calif. — and why he's calling on teens to use the movie to make a difference on their campuses. "If by showing this movie it saves one person's life, then our purpose has been served," Drake told The Turlock Journal.

More than 140 people attended the October advance showing in Turlock, including 40 teen leaders from more than a dozen local youth groups. Also in the audience were business owners, school board trustees, and a city councilman. Five businessmen agreed to pay a deposit to cover 1,000 tickets on Opening Weekend. The move will bring To Save A Life to their community. And now the Lifeline Squad — including Drake, the businessmen, and other church and community leaders — are spreading the word and gathering support to buy or distribute the 1,000 tickets. They also are planning outreach events to bring teens to the movie, provide opportunities for them to discuss it's themes, and empower them to reach out to hurting students in their schools, neighborhoods, churches, clubs, homes and communities.

It's the type of response happening all over the country as Lifeline Squads are forming and mobilizing to make To Save A Life the biggest outreach for teens ever.
