Tom Saab
Founder, Christian Media Productions
Founder/Director, Christian Film Festivals of America, Inc.
A Life Devoted to Evangelism Through Media
Tom Saab was the founder and director of Christian Film Festivals of America, Inc. Recognized as one of the most unique evangelistic ministries in the U.S., the organization rented two theaters in a cinema complex for eight days and nights and would screen multiple Christian films from morning until night free of charge. Various cities around the country hosted these Christian Film Festivals.
Tom shared a live closing message and altar call at the end of each show. Trained counselors were at the front of the theater praying with and leading those who responded to begin a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Over the 19 years that Tom directed the ministry, over 400,000 men, women, teenagers and children viewed the Christian films with approximately 20,000 making public commitments to follow Jesus Christ.
Through the Christian Film Festival ministry, Campus Crusade for Christ and the Jesus Film Project asked Tom Saab to design a children's outreach for Child Evangelism Fellowship using the Story of Jesus for Children. Tom went on to create a three-day children's film festival that CEF used in different cities around the country. Tom personally directed two of them in Memphis, TN, and Rochester, NY.
In addition, through this Christian Film Festival ministry, Tom was invited to get involved in the production of various Christian movies. Over the years, he became a co-executive producer / co-producer / script advisor / investor for more than 14 films. See the list along with info about the films here.
Tom began a unique prison ministry, where Christian movies were brought in and shown to inmates in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. He was accompanied by volunteers who prayed with inmates and led some to Christ at the conclusion of the film.
Tom also assisted in promoting the major motion picture "Jesus" as well as three World Wide Pictures films — "Joni," "The Prodigal," and "Cry from the Mountain" — in theaters in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
Evangelistic Crusades
He also organized and coordinated three evangelistic crusades:
- The Merrimack Valley John Wesley White Crusade
- The Tri-State Franklin Graham Crusade in Portsmouth, NH
- The Greater Lawrence, MA Luis Palau Crusade
In 2017, Tom organized and directed the first ever Salisbury Beach Christian Concert Series. It continues every year during the summer months where Christian concerts are held every Wednesday night beginning in June on the Salisbury Beach Entertainment Center oceanfront stage. Many New England recording artists as well as local worship teams and from time to time national recording artists join us at Salisbury Beach.
In addition, in 2019, Tom began the Hampton Beach Christian Music Festival at the famous oceanfront Sea Shell Stage at the most popular beach in all of New England. That music festival continues the last Sunday of June every year. Recent artists have included Ben Fuller, Dave Pettigrew, Consumed by Fire, Matthew Jones, Eric Lee Brumley, amongst others. The 2026 Festival will feature Unspoken.
The Evangelical Tract Society published a Bible tract written by Tom titled 'The Guarantee,' which can be found on this website.
