Church resource group Outreach Inc. is seeking to fan the flames of marriage renewal in Spanish-speaking congregations and communities with translations of materials for the hit movie Fireproof.

The Vista, Calif.-based church communication and outreach tools provider has released just Spanish-language study and devotional programs created to build on the challenge to couples presented in the film about a firefighter's troubled marriage.

Dubbed into Spanish, the PG-rated movie-produced by Sherwood Pictures-is included in the Fireproof paquete de iglesia (Fireproof Church Movie Event Kit) which gives the church a license to screen the film publicly for a year. The pack, which retails for $129, also includes a movie event-planning guide, movie clips and a trailer, and marketing materials.

Additionally, the film kit includes a copy of Fireproof-protégé tu matrimonio: paquete de lider (Fireproof Your Marriage Leader's Kit), available separately for $24.95. Outreach has also released Fireproof-protégé tu matrimonio: guia del participante (Fireproof Your Marriage: Participant's Guide, $8.95) and Fireproof-protégé tu matrimonio: paquete para la pareja (Fireproof Your Marriage: Couple's Kit, $29.95). The English-language kits were released in June 2008.

Work on developing the Spanish materials began as the film released last fall. "We just knew that marriage is a theme that is applicable to everybody, and we saw the demand right from the theatrical release, so we really wanted to develop these resources for the Latino churches," said Outreach Films General Manager Marc Harper.
