This movie shows the difference a Christian can make when refusing to give in to defeat. This film, based on actual events, follows what happens when Pastor Evan Bennett (wonderfully played by Roy Lynam) shows up. He wants to make changes, especially when he learns that the church isn’t meeting its financial obligations but has been spending large amounts of funds on foreign missions. When he suggests a budget cut, a family who has a missionary daughter becomes unhinged, causing some serious problems at Egypt Valley Community Church. Based on actual events, the story features a stubborn deacon named Vincent Haman (Mark A. Ginther) who makes the pastor’s life miserable.
Due to a few serious moments, including kids almost being hit by a car, a man attempting to shoot the pastor and tension between church members, we are recommending the film for ages twelve plus. But this well done production makes a great point that change doesn’t come without a price. We happily award our Dove Seal to “Seven Deadly Words.”
