Want a movie that challenges how far you’re willing to go for God?
All Saints is the true story of a pastor who is sent to close down a rural church, but soon finds God has other plans.
Micheal, once a corporate man with a promising future that he gave up to pastor, is looking to make roots in a Church. His first assignment, though, is to close down, and sell, a Church that is sitting on a highly-valued piece of land. If he does that, then he will be able to find a Church he can stay at with his family. The small number of men and women of the Church, though hesitant, gradually start to accept the inevitable. That is, until Karen refugees turn up at his Church's doorstep, looking for somewhere to live, to belong.
Propelled by the dream of a fresh start, a place to work and a place to call home, the Burmese farmers inspires in Micheal a new mission, and a big question: what if God sent them here to bring new life to the Church?
Working with the refugees, the congregation begin to turn their talents to the land, transforming the surrounding acres into a working farm that soon is able to sustain the Church financially, as well as provide for the new refugees.
But, as pressure from higher-ups in the Church, Micheal must choose whether following what he sees as God’s calling to keep the Church running, or do what he was sent to do, and shut it down.
A challenge to anyone wondering what it means to follow God, All Saints is a remarkable true story that is sure to inspire action in many, as well as showing that refugees are just as important to God as anyone else in your community. Filled with risk, tension, and a genuine passion for community is all shapes and sizes, All Saints is the perfect film for Churches looking to find their place in the wider world.
