Description

A faith-based film that even atheists can embrace. Steve Gomer’s drama about the mutually beneficial relationship that develops between a small-town church and a group of Burmese refugees certainly doesn’t neglect its religious themes. But it mainly stresses the humanity of its characters and the importance of community ties. It does this in a manner that is never heavy-handed, making the true-life tale all the more inspiring. Based on a true story, a newly ordained former sales exec-turned pastor, gets as his first assignment, a failing Episcopal country church in Tennessee, which has been slated for shut-down. His job is to successfully manage that task, after which he will be reassigned to a church in a major city; a job he and his family are looking forward to. His assignment, and his life, get very complicated and challenged when some newly arrived refugees from war-torn Burma, come to the church for help.
