International (MNN) ― The DVD "Struggle and Triumph" was neatly timed to coincide with the Olympic Games.
Produced by the athletic ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ, the story recounts the struggles and triumphs of some of the Christian athletes found among the thousands in competition for a medal and worldwide recognition.
The DVD tells the stories of the Olympians who exemplify the truth of the famous quote by Frenchman, Baron Pierre de Coubertin who said, "The important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have won but to have fought well."
"Struggle and Triumph" features modern day Olympians who also see their participation in sport as an act of worship. The DVD tells the stories of Kenya's Catherine Ndereba and the USA's Allyson Felix--both world class runners; Candra Wijaya and Hendrawan--both of whom medalled in badminton; Dieudonne Disi--a world-class marathoner from Rwanda; and Julian Bolling--the only Sri Lankan swimmer known to have participated in three Olympic games.
"Struggle and Triumph" is available in 40 languages and is packaged with the "JESUS" film. The "JESUS" film DVD is available in three versions: one in the European languages, another with Asian, and the third with languages for Africa, the Middle East and the Americas.
Pray that it will be an effective tool to draw people to the Lord during this Olympic year and that believers will have opportunities to use it to share Christ. Click here for more details.
