Listen to the KKMS or VOA radio interview with filmmaker Chad Amour.

 

Dr. Wess Stafford, President Compassion International: "Shadows of Virtue presents the realities of those living in poverty and emphasizes Christ's mandate to the Church to love the poor unconditionally and to serve them sacrificially. Chad's message compels us to review our motives for giving as well as our methods, and challenges us to serve, not out of pity but out of love. "

Patricia Fenrick, World Relief Minnesota Executive Director: "Shadows of Virtue has a compelling narrative that encourages deep reflection on our motivation for Christian service. It speaks to the heart and soul of how Christians must respond to the world's need. This documentary is a valuable teaching tool we use with our volunteers in ministry."

Sr. Pastor John Strommen: "In "The Shadows of Virtue," Chad Amour puts his finger on perhaps the one and only thing that could one day abolish world hunger: seeing the face of God in those who are poor. This film justifiably questions the limitations - or "shadows" - of attempting to help the poor out of a sense of guilt or obligation. In carefully examining what motivates a person to act, the film is an altar call of sorts, hearkening back to a proud tradition that asserts the private act of giving oneself to God is inextricably linked to the very public calling to give oneself in love to the "least of these."
