Thanks for your suggestion TB. I have ruled out churches because I am trying to reach those who would never darken the door of a church. Believers will come to the theatre because they want to see the Christian films. I'm hoping the fact that I will also feature secular films will draw those non-believers. The SBA will lend me the money only if I have excellent credit. Mine went south a few years back. I need to find a Believer (or Believers) who see the vision as I do to back me.

Is there a local church in your community that would be willing to work with you to provide such a ministry? It might be offered as a weekly "Family Film Night". I pop corn machine in the church's kitchen might produce these snacks for your customers, and a soda machine or cooler could provide them with some refreshing drinks. The purchase of a ticket for each viewer should cover the cost of the rented films and any costs for personnel to operate the equipment and clean the church's facilities.

If a local church doesn't want to work with you on this project, it sounds to me like it might be funded with a small business loan with the theater being operated as a profitable business.

For some years now it has been my desire to open a "Family Friendly" cinema in our town which would feature some of the excellent Christian films being produced today as well as wholesome entertainment films. I see it as a way to reach people for the Lord out in the community. God has given me 25 years experience in the theatre business. Now He needs to provide the funding. Please pray for me and this project. Thank you.
