Trivia

Based on the true story of how Reverend Martin and his wife Donna Martin, in their small Bennett Chapel church of Possum Trot, East Texas, were able to help 77 of the most difficult to place children become adopted by 22 families.

During the sermon in which Reverand Martin strikes his hand on the cymbals, explaining that if he preaches to help the widows and orphans without taking action, all he is producing is noise is a reference to 1 Corinthians 13; "If I speak in tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or clanging cymbal."

According to executive producer Letitia Wright, the film's message was to make the audience ask itself, "How do we as a community, not only the church, but how do we rally everyone to step in for the kids, because they are our future."

Took 8 years to be made, with 5 of those years being dedicated to research.

Executive Producer Joe Knittig explained that at a screening of the film in Texas, he met a woman who was at the premiere who was one of the orphans who Bishop Martin helped find a home and had since become an NCAA Track Star receiving her Master's Degree for Trauma Therapy for children. She watched the film sitting alongside Bishop Martin and Donna Martin. During the film, she began sobbing saying, "I can't believe they did so much for me!" and as the credits began rolling, she wrapped her arms around Martin in a hug and said, "Thank you for saving my life."
