Lionsgate released a new clip and seven location posters from Greenland 2: Migration, which will be released in theaters on January 9th. We might be in the middle of awards season hell, but January and all of its glory will be here before we know it. January is such a fun time at the movies because it is still, though not as much anymore, a dumping ground for movies that studios might not have the most confidence in. It’s where low-budget horror tends to thrive and original action movies that still all somehow feel the same. Greenland 2: Migration is another one of those films, but this one has something that many other movies don’t have, and that’s a fan base that didn’t get the chance to experience the first film in theaters. The first film was a pandemic hit, and now this sequel is getting the full theatrical release. If there is room on the docket, Lionsgate should get some double features going; there’s an audience for it, I can assure you. We’re about six weeks out from the release, so we’re starting to get some promotional material. A clip was released today showing John Garrity out on the surface of the world following the catastrophic comet impact. This is a rare disaster movie sequel that looks into what happens after the world-ending event when the few survivors actually survive, which is a great angle to explore. We see a nasty storm that John is running from, and it’s dangerous enough that opening the door to let him in with it so close is a risk. We also got location posters. Usually, a film will release character posters, and maybe we’ll get some of those, but Greenland 2: Migration is about the world after. We have a series of seven location posters showcasing major cities in the United States and what they look like after a disaster. It’s another example of how this team is going above and beyond when they could have easily phoned it in with a sequel in name only. Greenland 2: Migration The Unlikely Pandemic Sequel Greenland 2: Migration will be directed by Ric Roman Waugh, written by Mitchell LaFortune and Chris Sparling, and produced by Basil Iwanyk, Erica Lee, Gerard Butler, Alan Siegel, Sébastien Raybaud, John Zois, Brendon Boyea, and Ric Roman Waugh. The film stars Gerard Butler, Morena Baccarin, Roman Griffin Davis, Amber Rose Revah, Sophie Thompson, Trond Fausa Aurvåg, and William Abadie. Lionsgate released a brief summary for Greenland 2: Migration: In the aftermath of a comet strike that decimated most of the earth, Greenland 2: Migration follows the Garrity family (Gerard Butler, Morena Baccarin, and Roman Griffith Davis) as they’re forced to leave the safety of their bunker in Greenland to traverse a shattered world in search of a new home. Greenland 2: Migration will be released on January 9, 2026. The first film was released over the course of several months in 2020. Greenland was initially set to be a summer blockbuster, but the film kept getting pushed back as it became more and more apparent that this little virus thing was not going to be a quick thing that turned around. However, while the movie ultimately ended up skipping US theaters for a PVOD format in the fall, Greenland did release internationally in a couple of different countries. Starting in mid-July and through the rest of the summer and into the fall, Greenland would open in theaters across Europe, eventually gathering a worldwide box office of $52. 3 million on a budget of $35 million. That box office gross does not include the PVOD numbers when the film was released digitally in October 2020 or the $20-$30 million the studio made from selling the streaming rights to HBO. The sequel, which would eventually be titled Greenland 2: Migration, was officially greenlit in June 2021.

10 things I wish I knew when I started ministry at age 20
I’ll be 65 years old in two months, but I hang out with a lot of young people in my role as a seminary professor. In fact, I started in full-time ministry at age 20—not much different from where my students are now. Over the years, I’ve gained insights that I wish I’d known when I was their age. Here are some of those lessons:
### 1. The world doesn’t revolve around me.
I arrogantly thought it did back then, but now I know the world is much, much, much bigger than I am.
### 2. Decisions I make today will affect the rest of my life.
You never think about the long-term consequences at the time, but I still carry regrets over decisions I made decades ago.
### 3. If it’s God’s plan, He’ll provide a spouse in His time.
I worried too much about getting married when I was in my 20s, but God knew I needed to grow up a bit before sharing my life with someone else. He brought me Pam when I was 30.
### 4. My calling is more general than specific.
Back then, I thought my calling was only to pastor a church, so I limited my thinking to that role. I’ve since learned that God can use me in other roles, too.
### 5. Popularity and power are fleeting.
In those days, I was aiming for something I now know doesn’t last long. Regardless of how popular you think you may be, most of the world still doesn’t know you at all.
### 6. Intentionally building a savings account and retirement funds matters.
The sooner you start saving and preparing for the future, the more compounding interest will help you in the long run. I learned this truth early but still missed some key years of saving.
### 7. I need the church.
When I started pastoring, I saw the church more as a job than the family of God meant to provoke me to godliness and faithful living. Now, I understand how much that family means to me.
### 8. I need to pay attention to the world’s events.
In my 20s, I was hardly a global Christian. Now, I think deeply about the billions of people worldwide who don’t yet know Jesus.
### 9. Life is seldom as bad as it seems.
In the midst of chaos and problems, it’s easy to think life is catastrophic. In my younger years, pessimism sometimes drove me to discouragement and despair. Life’s seldom that bad, though.
### 10. Reading the Bible and praying are more than “check the box” disciplines.
That’s what they were to me back then; now, I know they’re life-giving components of a relationship with God who loves us.
I’m sure I could list other things, but perhaps these reflections encourage you to remember and reflect, too. What do you wish you knew when you were 20?

‘Life-Threatening Damage’: Hurricane Melissa Makes Landfall in Cuba After Battering Jamaica
Hurricane Melissa Makes Landfall in Eastern Cuba After Devastating Jamaica
Hurricane Melissa made landfall in eastern Cuba early Wednesday as a Category 3 storm, following its destructive path as a Category 5 hurricane that pummeled Jamaica. The powerful storm slammed ashore near the town of New Hope, leaving widespread damage across the island.
Evan Thompson, Principal Director at the Meteorological Service of Jamaica, issued a grave warning ahead of the hurricane’s arrival: “It will cause catastrophic damage, life-threatening damage. There is very little that can stop a category five hurricane.”
The trail of destruction in Jamaica includes powerful winds, fallen trees, and life-threatening flooding. Roads have become impassable as storm surges of up to 13 feet flooded coastal areas. The parish of St. Elizabeth is reportedly underwater, and over half a million residents are currently without power.
Four major hospitals suffered damage during the storm. One of these facilities lost power entirely, necessitating the evacuation of 75 patients to safer locations. In response to the widespread devastation, the Prime Minister of Jamaica declared the entire island a disaster area.
Personal Stories of Impact
Shantelle Nova was preparing for her dream wedding in Jamaica when Hurricane Melissa disrupted those plans. “Windows are broken, a lot of water is coming in, so we’re just basically pushing towels and stuff at the doors,” she said. “The level of noise is ridiculous. Trees have really bent over and flew away, and some of our roof is completely off.”
Severe Flooding in Cuba
In Cuba, streets in Santiago de Cuba were inundated due to severe flooding caused by heavy rains and strong winds preceding Melissa’s landfall. Authorities forecast up to 20 inches of rain in some areas, along with significant storm surges along the coast.
Approximately 500,000 people were evacuated from vulnerable regions to minimize harm from the winds and flooding as the storm moved across the Caribbean.
Operation Blessing Prepares Aid Efforts
CBN’s Operation Blessing is actively preparing to assist victims affected by Hurricane Melissa. Supplies are being packed, and a team is ready to deploy aid to the impacted areas.
On CBN’s Faith Nation, Diego Traverso, Senior Director of Operation Blessing’s Global Disaster Response Team, detailed the challenges ahead: “We don’t know how catastrophic this is going to be, if the water is going to recede, if the airports are going to be open and when they’re going to be open.”
He added, “At this point, we are just getting ready as close as we can to the island and praying for favor so we can either ride on an airplane, private or commercial.”
The disaster relief supplies being packed include water, food, solar lamps, hygiene kits, chlorinators, and water purification units to ensure access to clean drinking water. Traverso emphasized, “Water is going to be critical; the different ways for them to get water is going to get polluted. Pray for the people of Jamaica. Pray for the team of Operation Blessing.”
Additionally, Operation Blessing is preparing cargo shipments that include pallets of food and essential hygiene items for families affected by the hurricane.
Looking Ahead
Hurricane Melissa is forecasted to move into the Bahamas later Wednesday. Jamaican officials are hopeful to reopen the island’s airports by Thursday. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed that the United States is prepared to send aid to assist the affected regions.
