To Save A Life is a powerful indie movie about the real-life challenges of teens and their choices.
But it's more than just a movie--it's a feature-length film with follow-up opportunities like a youth group curriculum and a teen devotional centered around the biblical concept that we're never more like Jesus than when we are reaching out to the hurting and lonely.
At some point, every teen has to decide: "What's my life going to be about?" To Save A Life dares to bring that question into their world, encouraging them to answer it with boldness, honesty and Christ-likeness--and to put love into action around them.
Jake and Roger grew up as best friends. But in high school, Jake becomes the star athlete who has it all: a college scholarship and the perfect girl, an ideal life that comes at the exclusion of his childhood friend. Meanwhile, Roger no longer fits in anywhere and becomes tired of always being pushed aside. He makes a tragic move the spins Jake's world out of control. As Jake searches for answers, he begins a journey that will change his life forever.

Endorsements:
"One of the many things I love about the movie To Save A Life is how it portrays in a very real [non-cheesy] way the different pressures teenagers face. It opens doors for students to talk with trusted leaders on where they see themselves in the story." – Doug Fields, Founder: Simply Youth Ministry & Author: Purpose Driven Youth Ministry
"This generation of teenagers wants to make a difference, but they are bogged down by the most pervasive and life-threatening influences of any previous generation. The To Save A Life movie is a wake-up call for all teenagers to the fact that they are on this earth to express the love of God on their campus, in their family and in their communities." – Ron Luce, President Teen Mania

"I am praying that the To Save A Life movie helps us turn the tide with the 8% of young people who even go to church and most importantly, that it helps the church kids realize that 92% of their peers are headed for a Christless eternity." – Michael Catt, Pastor & Executive Producer of FIREPROOF
"An Excellent Film. This film is relevant and thought provoking. It is effective at developing a contrast of ideas with today's culture." – Josh McDowell, Speaker & Author
"Teenagers are going to love the story and cast in the To Save A Life movie. Super realistic portrayal of life on a high school campus - not all fake, like some movies, but the real stuff. This is a movie you'll want to see with friends." – Mark Oestreicher, President, Youth Specialties
"To Save A Life flashes moments of genuine brilliance, and the multiple storylines all lead to a satisfying ending. While it has some doses of reality in it people might typically shy away from in a church setting (the film is PG-13 for thematic images), it is shown when story-critical and is tastefully done." – Josh Griffin, MoreThanDodgeball.com, High School Pastor, Saddleback Church

What Other Church Leaders Are Saying:
"We have had a relatively small youth group of about 12 teens. We gave them invite tickets to hand out at their schools and they really came through: about 50 new kids came to the To Save A Life movie event and a large portion of them are coming regulary to do the curriculum now... they barely fit in our youth room now and we had to take a donation for more chairs." – Summit Christian Church
"The To Save A Life movie has changed my church and community. Our youth group has almost doubled, and parents have started coming to church because they are seeing their kids lives changed. The adult congregation is growing as well. I am so blessed at the changed attitudes of our kids and touched by how many adults have come for marriage counseling as a result of To Save A Family. Thank you for making the ministry tools available to the church!" – Pastor from Bainbridge, IN.

Even from the first night, kids' lives were touched and changed in an eternal way because of what God was doing through the material, the movie and our team of volunteers and leaders." – Brandon
