This movie is great, but it doesn't cover everything that the book does so I recommend you read the book also. This video is a powerful tool to share with others to demonstrate that there are no hopeless causes out there. Jesus Christ transforms lives and makes them new in Him. Watch then share this movie with others.
It is the true story of the heartbreaking struggles of a few, then dozens, then hundreds of streetkids. It is the true story of the bitter-sweet survival, recovery, success of one after another. And the utter sadness in the loss and waste of those lost to drugs, crime, and/or prison. What moved me wasn't as much the tenacity and courage of the preacher who gave up his comforts to live and work among those of the street, which was enormous, but the fact that these kids were found, or found someone, to pull them out, to fight for them until they finally became capable of fighting for themselves. There is both humor and drama in this story of kids who learned through the efforts of one single man, constantly, unrelentlessly, and with creativity, that they can overcome.
