The Great Warning" movie needs our help!!!

Inspired by the Holy Spirit, Belladream Films is producing an amazing movie titled "The Great Warning". But as with most projects given by Our Lord, He requires that we do our part to help in the mission. The movie is almost complete despite not having the needed funds in place and is scheduled to likely be available to the public by October of this year. But Belladream Films is in desperate need of additional funds by August 31, 2023 to complete the project.

The total cost for the movie is $1.3 million dollars, most of which they had received through donations from around the world, but they are still short $253,000. This film will be an amazing tool we can use to show and inform as many people as possible about the Warning before it occurs, but only if it can be completed.

Will you consider helping them to complete God's project?
You can give to the project on their website at:

Lastly, some issues with donating to keep an eye on...

This movie is SO important that I felt moved to help as well. But, about 20 minutes after I made a donation my bank emailed me that they (in their infinite wisdom) decided to decline the donation as possible fraud, requiring me to approve the transaction before they permitted the donation. I fear many others trying to help bring this film to the public may face the same issues, so just be aware if you decide to help them.

Christine Watkins and Christine Bacon have created a wonderful video
with some sneak-previews of the upcoming movie.
Take a look and share the video!

UPDATE: THE CHURCH"S POSITION ON GARABANDAL

The magazine "Garabandal Journal" has updated some information regarding the village of Garabandal, the current Bishop and Pastor.
For many years, while never being condemned, the Garabandal events were under a dark cloud as some of the first bishops (but not all) opposed the events. But the tide started to change with Bishop Juan Antonio del Val Gallo (1971-1991). While he at first did not believe in the apparitions he took a more open position. In 1981, he became a believer and during his reign, he lifted the ban on priests going up to the village and allowed them to celebrate Mass in the village church with the permission of the village pastor. The next bishop, Jose Vilaplana Blasco, was a non-believer, but left in place the positive changes made by Bishop del Val. In 2006, he was transferred to another diocese in southern Spain and Archbishop of Oviedo, Carlos Osoro Sierra, was made Apostolic Administrator of Santander. The Archbishop, building on the positive measures taken by Bishop Del Val, allowed priests visiting Garabandal to celebrate Mass in the village church even if the pastor was not there (he ministered to a number of other villages and was not always in Garabandal). The Archbishop also gave visiting priests faculties to hear confessions.
In 2007, Ed Kelly from the United States, wrote to the Archbishop requesting the current status of Garabandal and received a letter from the prelate, under his own stationary and signed by him dated May 7, 2007, in which he said: "I respect the apparitions and have known of authentic conversions. In light of these events, how can we not always feel the need to open our heart to our mother Mary to tell her that we need her protection, help, spirit, desire, hope and love! I encourage you to continue maintaining this devotion to our Mother."
In 2011, two 50th anniversaries were celebrated in Garabandal (1) for the first appearance of St. Michael on June 18, 1961, and (2) the first vision of Our Lady on July 2, 1961. The celebrations were conducted under the auspices of the Santander Diocese represented by the village pastor Fr. Rolando Cabeza (also dean of the area). During the celebrations, another ban was lifted when Fr. Cabeza, spoke of the apparitions from the pulpit, and read the two formal Messages of Our Lady at Garabandal.
On May 6, 2012, current Bishop of Santander, Vecente Jimenez Zamora (installed in 2007) celebrated a Mass in Garabandal in commemoration of the completion of a restoration project of the village church. In a refreshments period after Mass, he was open and most cordial with all the villagers and visitors. On May1, 2013, the Bishop again celebrated Mass in the village church of Garabandal and prior to the Mass, kissed a crucifix belonging to villager David Toribio that was kissed by the Blessed Virgin at Garabandal. We don't know if the Bishop knew that but we suspect he did.
Bishop Jimenez's Masses in Garabandal were firsts, since no Bishop of Santander had ever said Mass in the village church from the time the apparitions began in 1961.
