It began as a short film about God’s miraculous power. I had no budget, no script, and no idea what this movie was ultimately going to look like. I teach storytelling and film at a University in Chicago, and here I was breaking all of my own rules.
But that’s where I found myself, and I quickly discovered that God is an incredible film producer. He funded the whole film (I never asked one person for money), took me around the world, and introduced me to some truly incredible people.
So what is the film about? Well, now that it’s finished, I can finally answer that question. At its core, it is about the heart of God. It’s about how He views us, and how He is desperate for a relationship with us. Along the way, He places his finger on our lives, touches us deeply, heals us, shows His creativity, and generally surprises us with every move He makes.
He certainly does move in mysterious ways.
The film’s international cast includes a wide diversity of people, ministries, and personalities. But just to whet your appetite, here is a partial list of some of the things you will see and hear about in this film:
-Manna in the Pentagon
-African children who perform miracles every day
-Incredibly rare footage of the Chinese underground church
-Eastern European Gypsies radically changed by God’s power
-Amazing stories of the miraculous
-Hundreds raised from the dead
-Gemstones appearing out of thin air
-Saddaam Hussein’s old palace is now a church
-And much, much more
TESTIMONIALS
“I love this movie. It challenged and encouraged me, but that’s not what I’m writing about. I almost always am in pain from headaches. At the end of the movie, when the radio host prayed for headaches, the second he said “In Jesus’ name...” the pain was gone! Praise God! Hallelujah!”

A youth group has begun showing the film in 15-20 minute blocks in Michigan. After the first showing, they stopped the film, turned on the lights, and all of the boys in the youth group were covered in gold dust.
Here is a note from someone who gave a screening in his home in Colorado:
“I'll just say now, and these are comments that were echoed by all who saw it, that it was well done, amazingly intimate, and powerful. There's a group of 24 people in Colorado now who feel like they know you and love your heart. More importantly than loving you, they love God more than they did before. They believe God more than they did before. They have a hint that they too can walk in power and love people. They're excited for the possibilites, for the possibilities for evangelism, for healing, but mostly just for the possibility to love.”
- Tim, Colorado
“I'm positive that you are going to continue to see God's power fall on people as they watch the movie and/or after, so be ready. Thank you for being obedient and setting out to do this movie! I was changed last night! I was delivered of a religious spirit, Praise God and all because you took a step to obey Darren. We can never know the effects of our obedience or lack of obedience. Your obedience brought me freedom last night, Darren, and for that I am forever grateful to you.”
- Sarah, Chicago
