Norm Geisler International Ministries
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 3rd, 2021
Local Movie to Premiere in Charlotte, NC in June
Inspiring Life Story of Renowned Christian Apologist Norm Geisler
CHARLOTTE, NC: Today, Norm Geisler International Ministries (NGIM) announces the global premiere of its documentary on the life story of the late Dr. Norman L Geisler. Norm Geisler: Not Qualified features over 50 of the many Christian leaders who were taught, mentored, or influenced by the man who rose from poverty and illiteracy to change the direction of evangelical Christianity.
The non-profit’s goal is to show the movie at a mega-church in each of the 50 states, and then translate it for international screenings. Churches are partnering with NGIM to bring the movie about this influencer behind the influencers to their city. A conference and workbook are also offered, which follow Norm’s story to dive deeper into the concepts touched on in the movie.
“God may have a greater purpose for this movie than we realize,” says David Geisler, NGIM co-founder, who narrates the film. “The depth of what my father taught and modeled is vital for the challenges the church is facing today.”
Attendance at the global premiere on June 13th, 2021 is by invitation only. It will be held at Calvary Church in Charlotte, NC, where Norm Geisler is buried. A red carpet will begin at 6 pm, and a Q&A will follow the screening. The Q&A panel will feature local interviewees from the film, including Norm’s son David Geisler, Frank Turek, Derwin Gray, Bill Roach, Stephen Cutchins, Christina Lee, and Richard G Howe.
Interviewees include prominent evangelical leaders, authors and speakers including Josh McDowell, Tony Evans, J Warner Wallace, Andy Stanley, Ron Rhodes, John Ankerberg, Kerby Anderson, JP Moreland, Hugh Ross, Ed Hindson, Raul Ries, and Greg Koukl. “I don’t think I could have become a Christian unless I saw that there were people like Norm,” says Wallace. McDowell agrees, “He paved the way.”
“This movie is being released at a pivotal moment in our time, where the evangelical church is looking for leadership of a certain kind,” says David Geisler. “It will change history if we, as Christians, take seriously what my father left us, and also what he warned us.” Norm’s story shares how God can work through us to change history, even when we feel “not qualified.”
