Hal- liwell, pastor of the Whitby Christiain Assembly for the past five months. "I want to make things avail- able to the public without them havinV to go through church doors.' The films are 'Thief in the Night,' &Fry to Freedom,' 'Life Flight,' and 'Gold Through the Fire.' Te last three are based on true life stories. "They are good family films,» saysHalliwell. "It's not just entertainment. It's entertain- ment with a message that could counteract messages seen on TV. "It took a lot of logistics to get a portable screen, the size needed for a drive-in and a sound s1ystem that people could hear in their car radios. "I do this with some fear and trepedation," admits.- Halliwell. "As a church we can't just. sit on our hands, we must meet the needs of the people." If all goe wl, Halliwell sy that it could bécomre a regular summer feature.
