    Man!!!! That was great!!!! I loved the way you integrated the movie on the television. Surely this was inspired by the Holy Spirit. Your plot, your scenes, editing, acting, it was all great. Much better than the garbage on tv. It’s amazing that so much talent and creativity exists but the garbage is what people are being fed. Keep up the great work.

  5. WOW!!! Amazing video and message…

    Soo many of us have either thought or know someone who has thought of suicide. May this video be a gateway to salvation for all those who are contemplating suicide and feel that no one loves them when in fact the Love of Christ is ALWAYS there.

    May God continue to bless you all and use you always.

    United In Prayer,
    Amy <

      Olguita, thank you so much! So many of us and so many of our youth have forgotten how beautiful they are and have allowed society to lower their human value. We chose this topic because this topic is one that has been very hot lately, but feel that not many people of faith have come out and dealt with it straight on. We, too, pray and hope that it will reach the eyes and hearts of those who need it most and that we always be reminded that we’re called to make sure all around us know how valuable they trully are– us included! Your little one continues to be in our prayers! Love you and thank you for your beautiful words!

    This is a beautiful story! What an amazing testimony of the way God speaks to us through the community of saints, but also how his Unconditional Love saves us every day.

  9. Powerful video and plot is compelling that we should never pass up a chance to help someone; a stranger, a friend, a relative, a co-worker, a neighbor. Reach out and say a kind work, give a kind embrace of friendship. Believe and trust in God and work through Our Lord to help others.
    This video exemplifies despair and the joy of living with His hand in the form of a stranger helping a person in despair. Wonderful plot, photography and staging.

    Beautifully scripted and shot. This is a powerful story and witness to divine providence, one of my favorite ways God manifests Himself to us. Thank you for this gift!
