Urgent Prayer Request

Redeemer's Song Christ Family Film Productions is already praying and preparing for our second independent film (title to be released on Father's Day). The last few days have been a whirlwhind not only spiritually, but emotionally and mentally. The storyline and characters for movie #2 are fast evolving, and I am more and more convinced every day that this message, too, is an ordained message that Redeemer's Song has been called to share.

Though I am not allowed to reveal too much information concerning this next feature, as we are fast approaching our premiere for He Leadeth Me, I do want to share this urgent prayer request concerning one of our characters and the actor who has accepted the role of Brandon Shaw.

Joshua Overgaard has agreed to play the modern role of a high school teen who learns that he is to become a father. This role, vital in today's society and very applicable to many Christian young men, will be one of the most important roles in the entire film. With this huge responsibility, Josh has agreed to move forward with the project, and we long for him to become one of our top spokespersons over the next two years.

Today, it was discovered that Josh is headed this weekend to Inspiration Point Bible Camp for the second 2012 Winter Weekend, where guest speaker Bob Tissot will be speaking "in regards to relationships, dating and living according to God’s will" (IPBC web site ~ http://www.ipoint.org/). When I heard this, I felt it vital that Joshua be introduced to his character this afternoon before he left for the weekend. Over smoothies at Cafe 116, I had one of the best conversations I've ever had with Josh about scenarios that he had never before considered. On the film set in over a year, Josh will be faced with the reality of depicting what it feels like to not only be faced with the huge responsibility of early fatherhood, but what it means for a young man to be in a relationship with God while dealing with an enormous amount of guilt.

This is a request for much-needed prayer. Please pray for Josh this weekend as he participates in the Winter Weekend at IPBC. Pray that the Lord will give him an increased knowledge of his will for Josh's future as a young man, and as a minister of his message.

We're moving forward, friends. Intentionally.

Please...intentionally pray for the power of Christ to work in Joshua's participation in Redeemer's Song Ministries, and in the participation of all of our actors, directors, and families involved.
