World Religions Collide in New Tropical Reality Series

Buddha, Joseph Smith, Mohammed, Jesus.

Polygamy, terrorists, hypocrites.
Osama Bin Laden, Mitt Romney, Billy Graham.
Maui, HI–Six young strangers, between the ages of 18 and 23, from various religious backgrounds will meet in Maui to kick start 2008 with intense conversations about spirituality. During their time together, this group will take part in a variety of experiences such as helicopter and boat rides, whale watching, snorkeling, zip lining through a forest, horseback riding, rappelling through waterfalls, surf lessons, and a luau…all the while tying in conversations about what they believe and why they believe it.
Dare 2 Share Ministries International (D2S) is producing Gospel Journey Maui, a new reality series designed to initiate conversation about various religious beliefs, during the week of January 8-13. Greg Stier, President and Founder of D2S, will also play a strong role in the series, which will eventually be packaged as a DVD series for church youth groups.
Gospel Journey Maui is actually the second project like this for D2S. The original Gospel Journey has
been a huge success and has transformed lives all over the world, including a group of naval men who studied it
while traveling by submarine in the Atlantic Ocean!
It was also nominated for Outreach Magazine’s 2006 Best Outreach Resource. Zane Black, Greg’s counterpart in the original series, will be part of the cast for this production as well. In order to view the trailer for Gospel Journey, please click here.
Media personnel are more than welcome to join us during the week of filming to capture your own footage and story. However, please call to schedule interviews ahead of time.
