Michael Frost posted this on Facebook today. It’s a new (very short) video from Bono and The Edge from the rock band U2, endorsing a new documentary film about a man Frost calls “one of the fathers of the modern Australian missional movement.” The film project is entitled Smithy: Something In Every Hue, and it will tell the story of John Smith, the founder of the motorcycle club “God’s Squad.” Here’s the video:

Frost says he and Alan Hirsch have also endorsed the film, which is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2014.

Here’s the teaser trailer for the film to give you more of a taste:
