What happens when a man depends solely on God for his financial support? In this amazing true story, you will discover how a man of faith went to God daily for his needs and the miraculous ways in which God met those needs. George Mueller depended on God alone to support more than ten thousand orphans!

Call for tickets: (417)581-9192.

A childless baker and his wife swindle, steal from and lie to Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel and Jack (of beanstalk fame). This breaks a witch’s spell responsible for their childlessness. Everyone’s wish is granted, but, characters begin to feel the repercussions of their fulfilled wishes, realizing, “what you want is often more than you bargained for.”
