00:20 >> The film is about a small community in East Texas
00:23 where a small church felt called by God to start caring
00:27 for vulnerable children.
00:28 >> Just ordinary people looking outside of themselves,
00:32 seeing the need of mankind and meeting the need.
00:36 >> We want the ones that don't nobody else want.
00:40 >> And they ended up adopting 77 of some of the most difficult
00:46 to place children in the Texas child welfare system.
00:48 >> 22 families want to adopt.
00:50 >> The whole town, the whole town wants kids now.
00:54 >> That's about right.
00:56 >> When we got involved in the adoption process,
01:00 we had no clue what was going on in this adoption arena.
01:05 >> And I had to remove the kids because, well, you know,
01:09 it's our job to keep them safe.
01:11 She gave me these.
01:12 >> And so what's going on in the nation right now is
01:16 that over 400,000 kids are in the foster system,
01:19 over 100,000 are waiting to be adopted.
01:22 >> While we have over 400,000 local churches
01:25 on every street corner sitting there lifting up the name
01:29 of Jesus while this is happening under our nose.
01:32 >> But if we can't wrap our arms
01:34 around the most vulnerable amongst us,
01:36 then what do we have?
01:37 Noise.
01:39 [ Noise ]
01:44 That's what we have, noise.
01:45 And the children can't take the noise anymore.
01:50 >> And how do we as a community, not only the church,
01:53 but how do we rally everyone to step in for kids
01:56 because they are the future?
01:57 >> For us to be able to see this, this come to fruition,
02:01 this movie of their story and what it can compel other
02:05 churches and other families to step forward
02:08 and do the same, what this one little community can do,
02:10 imagine if all the churches around the world did the same.
02:15 Would there be any kids in the foster care system,
02:18 let alone available for adoption
02:20 if the church raised their music?
02:22 >> Now I know what can happen.
02:26 I, it's just not okay.
02:27 And I feel like we need to show that and I feel like we need
02:30 to make it known that this is what happening
02:32 and we need to make it stop.
02:33 >> I just pray that something in this movie make your heart jump
02:38 and you want to go out and be involved
02:40 in the foster care crisis because people
02:42 like you are people who change the world.
02:46 And if you feel that tugging at your heart, don't ignore it.
02:49 Go after it and do something.
02:51 >> I think the ultimate thing that I take
02:55 from this is you're never so small
02:58 that you can't make a difference.
02:59 Like it's just extraordinary to me what we can do
03:02 if we decide we're going to make things better.
03:04 >> I ain't never seen you so scared.
03:07 Is he speaking to you?
03:10 Is he speaking?
