“From a seed of faith grows hope / Based on the inspiring true story”
Here’s what the distributor says about their film: “ALL SAINTS is based on the inspiring true story of salesman-turned-pastor Michael Spurlock (John Corbett), the tiny church he was ordered to shut down, and a group of refugees from Southeast Asia. Together, they risked everything to plant seeds for a future that might just save them all.
After trading in his corporate sales career to become a pastor, Michael’s first assignment is All Saints, a quaint country church with a dozen members. It comes with a catch: he has to close the church doors for good and sell the prime piece of land on which it sits. While developers eagerly eye the property and the congregation mourns the inevitable, Michael and his family look forward to moving on to an established church where they can put down roots.
But when the church hesitantly begins welcoming Karen (kuh-REN) refugees from Burma—former farmers striving for a fresh start in America—Michael feels called to an improbable new mission. Toiling alongside the Karen people, the congregation attempts to turn their fertile land into a working farm to pay the church’s bills and feed its newest people.
Jeopardizing his family’s future by ignoring his superiors, Michael must choose between completing what he was assigned to do—close the church and sell the property—or listening to a still, small voice challenging the people of All Saints to risk it all and provide much-needed hope to their new community.
From the studios that brought you ‘War Room’ and ‘Moms’ Night Out’ comes ALL SAINTS. In addition to John Corbett (My Big Fat Greek Wedding), the outstanding cast includes Cara Buono (‘Stranger Things’), Barry Corbin (No Country For Old Men), Nelson Lee (‘Hawaii Five-O’), Gregory Alan Williams (Hidden Figures), and Christian comedian Chonda Pierce.
A story with a biblical message, ALL SAINTS is an encouragement and challenge to believe boldly, love unconditionally and give selflessly.”
