  1. I watched the film this morning, very powerful. Nothing I can say would do it justice. My words are inadequate, to be sure.

    “Islam is the Goliath of our day, but Jesus has chosen to use the lambs to break the power of him by the Spirit of God.”

    The testimonies of the Christians in the underground church are nothing short of precious. It is amazing and glorious, how God can take the skills that were formerly used for sinful activity and use them to advance the Gospel (and to protect), as with the former drug dealer. As he said, “In Satan’s eyes I am a criminal.” What can one say in response to this? Or the unimaginably difficult conversations between a husband and wife regarding the horrific consequences they face if they are arrested, the torture, rape, and death. They are those “of whom the world was not worthy.” (Heb. 11:38)

    “As a mom I give you permission to go.” The testimony of the 59-year-old American woman was very moving. You could hear the emotion in her voice, as she knows full well the real dangers and risks of being “the hands and feet of Jesus” in these areas of the world.

    I was also struck by Dalton Thomas’ reference to the Biblical command, in the context of Western countries, to wipe the dust off our feet “if they have heard and they have said no”, and “moving on to a place where they have not heard”. What an indictment of the Western church. Last year, after a missionary doctor contracted the Ebola virus in Africa and returned to the U.S. for treatment, a well known conservative author and commentator went on a tirade against missionaries. She railed against “the whole concept of American Christians fleeing their own country” and putting their families in danger to go to “third-world hell holes,” while America is “in a pitched battle for its soul”. She called this “Christian narcissism”. It was really quite shocking because she has said that Muslims should convert to Christianity. So who is going to tell them about Jesus? Ironically, she also wrote, “Can’t anyone serve Christ in America anymore?” On the surface, this may sound pious, but I believe it is really more like love growing cold.

  2. Well said Jeanne. Its been a moving experience to be part of this project for sure. Blessings to you!

    The comments you cite sound like something Ann Coulter would say. Gag.

  3. I’ve heard people talking about terrorism not working because it just strengthens our resolve. But that’s like a person punching someone in the face over and over and saying “lets fight”. Then the person saying that’s not working that just makes us want to fight. Any way I think that is exactly what they want. Then people’s hearts grow colder with more “resolve”.

  4. Absolutely brilliant, challenging, gut wrenching, self sacrificing and amazing production.
    Well done Joel and Dalton.
    It truly reveals the Love of God in man, and it reveals the selfishness of western believers today with no real understanding on what suffering and persecution really is.
    Muslims need to truly see what the Love of God is and the power of Jesus Christ
    May we all be challenged to truly lay down all that we have for the Kingdom of God and others.
    Your Kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

    PLEASE watch and purchase this Video and let others know at your Fellowship

  5. These blurred faces and distorted voices belong to those who will be honored beyond measure in the Kingdom of the Living God. I hope to meet them there, after all this mess is finally done.

    I am eviscerated by this film. I pray it fulfills His divine purpose within me, and within all of us.
